Suman Kirana & Puncture Store

This is Suman Kirana & Puncture Store. We are located over on Baran Road in the Jhalipura area of Ladpura. It is a bit of a dual setup we have going here. On one side, we have the groceries like flour, oil, and spices for the house. On the other side of the shop, I handle the puncture work for the bikes and cars that pass by. Baran Road gets a lot of vehicles, so someone is always getting a flat tire. It keeps me busy. My hands are usually a bit black from the rubber and the tools, but I wash up when someone needs help with the kirana items. We are in the 324001 zip code area of Kota. It’s a simple life. One minute I’m patching a tube and the next I’m handing over a packet of biscuits to a child. The neighbors around Jhalipura know us well. They come for the milk in the morning and sometimes stay for a chat while I fix their cycles. We don't have any big staff or anything, just us doing the work. The shop isn't very large but we fit what we can inside. It works out okay. Sometimes it’s quiet, and sometimes five people show up at once wanting different things. We just handle it as it comes. That's the way it is here on the road. Nothing more to it than that really.
