Naveen Provisional Stores

If you walk through Jahangirpuri, you might find your way to Plot No D 986 where Naveen Provisional Stores is. It’s a simple spot, nothing fancy to look at from the outside, but it’s where we are every single day. We sell the things people need for their kitchens and homes, and our shelves stay pretty packed from top to bottom. Managing a store like this in Jahangirpuri means you get to know everyone in the neighborhood. You see the same faces every morning when they come in for bread or milk, and you hear all the local news. The plot at D 986 isn't the biggest, so we have to be careful about how we stack the bags of rice and the crates of drinks. Sometimes it feels a bit cramped when three or four people are inside at once, but that’s just how it goes. We don't spend money on big advertisements or anything like that because word of mouth is usually enough around here. It gets a bit dusty with the wind blowing through the streets, so there’s always cleaning to do. My back usually aches by the time evening rolls around, but seeing the store full makes it worth the effort. It’s just a regular life running a shop, and we don't try to make it sound like anything more than it is. We just keep the doors open for the folks nearby.
