Jyotsna Variety Stores

Jyotsna Variety Stores is right there on the ground floor at Jyangra Helabattala. You can't miss us if you are walking down Hatiara Road in Baguihati. We are very close to the State Bank of India, so people often pop in after doing their bank work. It's a small shop but we try to keep a bit of everything because it is a variety store after all. You'll find plastic buckets, school notebooks, some pens, and basic things for the kitchen too. We have been here in Kolkata for a good while now. The shop gets a little dusty because of the traffic on the road, but we try our best to keep it clean. My nephew helps me out in the afternoons when it gets busy. Sometimes the rain comes down so hard that the street gets flooded, and we have to move everything up. It is just part of living in this area, I suppose. We don't have any fancy marketing or big signs, just a board with our name on it. Most of our customers are neighbors who have been coming here for years. They know us and we know them. It's a simple way to make a living. We open up early and stay until the street lights have been on for a few hours. There isn't much more to say really. We are just a local shop trying to be useful to the people living around Hatiara Road.
