Choudhary Provisional Store

My family has been running this shop here in Sector 15 for quite a while now. If you walk into Naya Bans near number 12, you will see our sign. It is not a very big place but we try to keep most of the basic groceries people need every day. Sometimes the shelves get a bit messy when a big delivery comes in and we have to stack the flour bags on the floor for a few hours. We open up pretty early in the morning because people around here need their milk and bread before they go to work. I usually sit behind the counter most of the day, and my son helps out when he is not at his classes. We know most of the neighbors by their names or at least by what they usually buy. The shop has changed a bit over the years, we added a small fridge for cold drinks a few years back which was a good idea for the summer heat. It gets quite busy in the evenings when everyone is coming home. Sometimes the street gets crowded and it is hard to park a scooter right in front. We just do our work and keep the shop going. It’s not fancy or anything, just a regular provisional store where you can find your lentils, soaps, and snacks. Most days are just quiet and steady until the school bell rings nearby and kids come in for candies.
