Sri Balaji Maligai

Our shop is at number 95 in Thiru Nagar, located in Kosava Patti. We run a maligai store, which is basically a local grocery shop that serves the immediate neighborhood. It’s a small, friendly place where we stock all the essentials like rice, oil, and household cleaners. Thiru Nagar is a quiet residential area, and our shop is tucked into a ground-floor space that we’ve used for years. We don't have any flashy signs or professional displays. Everything is just neatly arranged on simple shelves so that people can find what they need. The morning hours are usually the busiest when people are coming in for their daily supplies. We spend a lot of our time weighing out grains and packing them into small bags. The heat in Kosava Patti can be quite intense, so we usually keep the front door wide open to catch any breeze that might come through. We are a family business, and we do all the work ourselves, from cleaning the shop to talking with the suppliers. We know the names of almost everyone who walks through the door, and we’ve seen their children grow up over the years. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living, and we’re happy to be a part of this community. We just focus on keeping the shop running smoothly every day.
