Deepu Kirana Store

Deepu Kirana Store is right in the middle of everything in Patna, on Dak Bunglow Road inside Mayuralok. If you know Patna, you know how crowded and loud this area can get. It is always moving. We have been running this kirana shop for a long time, dealing with the daily rush of people looking for groceries. We keep all the regulars like flour, cooking oil, and those big bags of rice that people buy for the whole month. The space inside isn't huge, so we have to stack the crates of cold drinks and detergent boxes wherever they fit. Sometimes it’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three people come in at once. The heat in the afternoon can be really something else, so the shop feels like a bit of a relief for people who just want to step out of the sun for a minute. I usually spend my time writing down accounts in a yellow register or checking the stock that came in from the wholesaler. Dak Bunglow Road never really sleeps, so there is always someone needing something last minute. We don't have any fancy displays or neon signs, just the items sitting there on the wooden shelves. It’s hard work keeping track of all the prices when they keep changing, but I’ve gotten used to it after all these years of sitting here.
