Moiz Kirana Store

Being right here on NH65 at Subhash Gunj means we see a lot of different faces every day. Moiz Kirana Store has been at 42/59-8 for a while now. The highway is always humming with trucks and cars going past, so there is never really a quiet moment. We sell the usual things people need for their kitchens like oils, spices, and grains. The shop is a bit cramped because we try to fit as much as possible inside. It can be a struggle to find a specific item sometimes if it got pushed to the back. We spend a lot of time counting stock and checking what needs to be ordered for the next week. It’s just regular work. No one here wears a uniform or anything like that. We just wear our everyday clothes and get to it. Sometimes the dust from the road comes inside, so we are always wiping down the counters. It’s a habit now. People stop by on their way home or while they are traveling. We get to hear some interesting stories from the truck drivers who pull over. The heat in Subhash Gunj can be a lot during May, so we drink a lot of tea and stay in the shade of the awning when there are no customers. It is a basic shop for basic needs. We don't try to be anything else. Just a local spot sitting right on the side of the highway.
