Sri Thippeswamy Provision Stores

We have been running this shop in Badavane C-Block for a long time now. It is tucked right behind the food office, so it’s easy enough to find if you know the area. We mostly stock the usual things people need for their kitchens every day. You can find rice, different types of dal, cooking oils, and those small things like soaps and matches. The mornings are usually our busiest time because everyone is trying to get their shopping done before work. Sometimes the shelves look a bit cluttered because we try to fit a lot into a small space. It is not a fancy place with bright lights or anything like that. We just have what is necessary. Meeting the same neighbors every day is probably the part we like the most. You might have to step over a few bags of grain to get to the back, but that’s just how it is here. The heat can get a bit much in the afternoons, so we keep the big front door open for some air. It is not a supermarket where everything is perfectly lined up. It is just a local store for the people nearby. Sometimes we run out of a particular brand if the delivery is late, but we usually have something else that works. Most of the local kids come by for snacks after their school is over. It is a quiet life here.
