Sri Kothammathalli Kirana Store

You can find us at 3-66-521 on Mukkam Road here in Munjeru. This is a local kirana store where we try to keep all the small things people need for their houses. It is a very basic setup. We have rows of jars with candies and pulses. The floor is concrete and we have a wooden counter that has been here for years. It is a bit worn out, but it does the job. Running a shop in Munjeru means dealing with the local climate, so things can get a bit dusty. We spend a lot of time wiping down the jars and checking our inventory. People stop by on their way home from work to get matchboxes or cooking oil. We don't have a big sign or anything flashy. Most people just know the building. It is a lot of sitting and waiting, then suddenly five people show up at once. We handle it as it comes. Sometimes we run out of something because the truck didn't show up, but usually we stay well-stocked. It is just a small family-run thing. We don't have big ambitions of being a chain. We just want to make sure the people on Mukkam Road have a place nearby to buy their groceries. It is a simple, quiet life. We close up when the sun goes down and start again the next morning. Nothing fancy, just a regular shop for regular people. The road outside is often busy with tractors and motorbikes, which brings a lot of dust into the shop. We sweep three times a day.
