Subhmangal Provision Store

Running a shop on Station Road means you never really get a quiet moment. There’s always a horn honking or someone rushing to catch a train. We’ve got the Subhmangal Provision Store right here, and it’s been our daily life for years. We stock everything from soap and shampoo to large bags of grains. It’s a lot of lifting and moving things around to make sure everything is in stock. I don't have a fancy office, just a small stool behind the counter where I keep my accounts. The shelves go all the way up to the ceiling, so I have to use a ladder pretty often. Most of the customers are people who live nearby or the ones coming from the station who realized they forgot something at home. It gets really busy in the evenings when everyone is out doing their shopping. I try to keep things organized, but on busy days, the floor gets covered with cardboard and packing tape. It’s a practical kind of place. We don’t have air conditioning, just a couple of old ceiling fans that buzz all day. We just try to provide what people need for their daily routines without making a big fuss about it. The road outside is always dusty, so I spend a good amount of time cleaning the glass jars. It’s a tough job but it keeps us going. We’re here from early morning until late at night.
