Porwal Kirana Merchant

You can find Porwal Kirana Merchant over on Chhawani Road. It’s a busy road with a lot of vehicles passing by, so the shop stays quite active throughout the day. We are a general kirana store, meaning we stock the usual household essentials like lentils, oils, soaps, and grains. The shelves go all the way to the ceiling, and we have to use a small stool to reach the stuff at the top. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze inside, especially when we get new stock in and the sacks are sitting on the floor waiting to be opened. We know most of the people who live around Chhawani Road, and they come in for their monthly supplies or just a single packet of something they forgot. The work is mostly just measuring things out and making sure the billing is right. We don't use any fancy marketing tricks or anything; we just sell what people need for their daily lives. The shop can get quite warm in the summer because of the way the sun hits the front, but we just keep the fan going and stay busy. It’s an honest way to make a living, and we’ve been doing it for a while now. Every evening we tidy up the jars and get ready for the next morning's rush. It’s a lot of work but it is what we know.
