Gopal Kirana Store

We have been here on Ati Road in Ludhiana for a good while now. Most people know us because we are right near Maggar Ki Chakki in Janta Nagar. It gets quite busy on this main road especially in the evenings when everyone is heading home and stopping for their daily things. The store is just a regular place where we keep the usual stuff like lentils, spices, soaps, and whatever else a kitchen needs. Sometimes the dust from the road comes in so we spend a lot of time cleaning the shelves. It’s a lot of work keeping everything organized. People from the neighborhood drop by, some just to chat for a minute while they pick up their milk or bread. We know most of the faces around here. We don’t have fancy displays or anything like that. It is just a shop with bags and boxes piled up where we can find them. My hands are usually dusty from handling the sacks of flour. That’s just how it is here. The light inside isn't the brightest but we know where every single item is kept even if it looks a bit crowded to someone else. On hot days, the fan just moves the warm air around but we stay open until late. It's a simple life running Gopal Kirana Store and we just focus on getting through the day's list of things to do.
