Ramu Kirana Store

Ramu Kirana Store is located on Sardar Samand Road in Anand Nagar. This part of town is growing fast. We see new faces almost every week now. The shop is filled with bags of flour and containers of oil. We keep the spices in a specific corner so the smell doesn't get into everything else. It is a lot of work keeping everything fresh. We check the dates on the milk and bread every single morning. The counter is made of dark wood and has a few scratches from years of use. We have a small television in the corner that we keep on for the news. Sometimes the neighbors come in just to watch for a bit and chat. Sardar Samand Road can get quite noisy with the trucks passing through. We have to shout a bit sometimes to be heard over the engines. Anand Nagar is a nice place to be. We have a little bit of everything so people don't have to go all the way to the main market. We use a heavy iron scale for the vegetables. It is old but it works just fine. The light bulbs overhead hum a little when they have been on for a long time. We close up for a couple of hours in the afternoon when it is too hot for anyone to be out. Then we stay open until the street lights come on. It is just the way we do things here.
