Aarshati Kirana Stores

Our little shop is at Shop No. 2 in Green City, right out here in Village Jamtha. Most people know us because we are quite close to the VCA Cricket Stadium. On match days, the whole area gets really crowded and loud, which is quite a change from the usual quiet we have here in Rui. We keep a bit of everything that a household might need for their daily cooking and cleaning. It’s just a standard kirana store, nothing too fancy about it. We open up early in the morning so people can grab what they need before they head off to work or start their day. The shelves are usually packed with bags of rice, dals, and all the usual snacks the kids like. Being in Green City means we see a lot of the same faces every day, which is nice. You get to know what people like and what they usually run out of on a Tuesday night. We try to keep things organized, but sometimes when a big shipment comes in, there are boxes everywhere for a few hours. It’s just me and a couple of others helping out. We don’t have a big website or anything, we just focus on the people walking through the door. Sometimes we sit outside on the bench when it’s slow. It’s a decent spot to be, especially with the stadium nearby bringing some life to the neighborhood every now and then. We hope to stay here for many more years and keep doing what we do.
