Krishna Provision Store

Krishna Provision Store is a small shop located on Bajaj Road. It’s the kind of place where the shelves are packed from the floor to the ceiling with bags of rice and small packets of biscuits. We have been here on Bajaj Road for a long time now. The floor is made of old stone, and it’s seen a lot of feet walking over it. Every morning starts with me sweeping the front and arranging the milk crates that get delivered early. It’s a busy street, so there is always a layer of dust on the jars that I have to wipe off. We don't have any fancy scanners or checkout counters, just an old scale and a calculator that has some of the numbers rubbed off. I know most of the people who come in because they live in the buildings right behind us. They come for their daily needs, maybe a kilo of sugar or some tea leaves. Sometimes the kids come in after school to buy sweets with their spare change. It’s a bit cramped inside, especially when we get a big shipment of grain in sacks. We just stack them up and work around them. There is a small radio that plays in the background, mostly just the news or some old songs. It’s a plain, honest shop and we just try to keep the basics in stock for everyone who lives around Bajaj Road. It stays busy enough.
