Gupta Catters And Kirana Store

My family runs this shop over at Talkatora Road, near Langda Faatak in Alam Bagh. It’s a bit of a double business since we do the grocery side and the catering too. The kirana store keeps us busy all day with neighbors coming in for rice, lentils, or just a packet of biscuits. Then there are the days when we have to handle a catering order, which means more work in the back. It’s a bit crowded with all the sacks of grain and the cooking equipment, but we make it work. Living and working in Alam Bagh means there is always noise from the road outside. Langda Faatak is a busy spot. We’ve known most of the families around here for ages. Sometimes the store gets so full of stuff we barely have room to stand. It’s not one of those modern supermarkets, just a regular local shop where we write everything down in a notebook. My hands are usually dusty from moving bags around. When someone asks us to cook for an event, we just use what’s fresh from our own shelves. It’s practical that way. Some days are slow and we just sit outside on the stools talking to passersby. Other days, we are running around like crazy. It’s just how the days go by here. We don’t have any big plans to change things, we just keep the shop open and do our bit. It’s a lot of work but it’s how we’ve always done it.
