Ritu Bala Confectiory Shop

Our shop is tucked away on Gill Road Phase 2, at number 895/3. It’s called Ritu Bala Confectiory Shop, though most people just call it the corner shop. We’ve got a little bit of everything packed into a small space. From cakes and biscuits to packets of noodles and eggs, we try to keep the basics ready for the neighborhood. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze when more than two people are inside at once. I spend most of my day here, watching the world go by through the front door. Gill Road is pretty active, especially in Phase 2 where there are lots of houses. We get the morning rush of people needing milk and the afternoon kids looking for something sweet after school. Sometimes the deliveries are late and I have to explain to the customers why we’re out of their favorite bread. It’s just how things go sometimes. The shop isn't anything special to look at, just a practical place to get what you need. I keep a small notebook for orders that people ask for specifically. It’s nice knowing everyone’s name and what they usually buy. We don't have a big team, it's just a family-run effort to keep things moving. We close up once it gets dark and the street gets quiet. It’s a quiet life, but it keeps us busy and we like being part of the community around here.
