Kuber Fincy Store

The shop is right here in Shivaji Nagar, specifically at 65-136. It is not a huge place, just a regular corner where we keep all sorts of small things people need. Most days start around nine in the morning when we pull up the shutters. It’s usually quiet then, except for the neighbors walking by. We have shelves filled with threads, buttons, and those little decorative items that women look for when they are fixing up their clothes. Sometimes kids come in for a single pencil or some stickers. It gets a bit crowded in the evenings when everyone is out doing their daily shopping. The light in the back corner flickers sometimes, but we know exactly where everything is kept. You don't really need a map to find things here because we’ve lived in this neighborhood for years. We just sit on the small stools and wait for the next person to walk through the door. It’s a simple life. We don’t have fancy air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that hums quite loudly. Most people who come here are regulars who live just a few houses away. They know my name and I know theirs. We talk about the weather or the price of vegetables while I wrap their items in old newspaper or small plastic bags. It’s just how things have always been at Kuber Fincy Store. We stay open until the street lights come on and the market starts to quiet down for the night.
