Sunny Kiryana Stores

We are right there at Jamalpur Chowk, at number 10 on the Main Road. It’s a very busy corner. There is always someone honking their horn or a bus stopping nearby. The shop is filled with bags of grains and rows of household items. I usually start my day by pulling up the heavy metal shutter. It makes a lot of noise that echoes across the chowk. I’ve been working here for a while and the routine is always the same. I check the milk delivery first thing and then start stacking the bread. Being on the Main Road means we get a lot of random people stopping in because they are just passing through. It can be quite tiring standing on the concrete floor all day. My back usually aches a bit by the time I close up. We have a small television in the corner that we keep on for the news. The shelves are made of wood and they are getting a bit old now. We don't have any big posters or advertisements outside. People just know where Jamalpur Chowk is and they see the shop. I spend a lot of time chatting with the regular customers about the local politics. It’s a simple life, but it keeps me busy. The address is easy to remember since we are right at the crossroads. We just try to have what people need so they don’t have to go far. It’s a solid little business.
