Purabji Provisin Store

Purabji Provision Store is tucked away on K V Temple Street at the 1st Cross in Bhosarigoan. It’s a small shop, but we managed to fit a whole lot of inventory inside. We have big bags of flour and sugar, and spices are piled up everywhere. The first thing you usually notice when you walk inside is the strong smell of all those spices. I’ve been running this shop for many years now, and it hasn’t changed much since I started. The wooden counter is worn down in spots where people lean while they wait, but I like that it shows our history. We don’t use any computers here, just a simple ledger and a calculator that has seen better days. It works just fine for us. Sometimes the street gets really crowded with people visiting the temple, especially during festivals, and then the shop gets quite hectic. I usually have a young lad to help carry the heavier bags out to the customers' scooters. We don’t have a website or any of that modern stuff. If you need something, you just come by and we talk. We try to keep the basics like tea and soap always available. It’s a simple life, opening the shop every morning and closing the shutters at night. We’re just part of the furniture on this street, same as we've always been. We just try to be here whenever the neighbors need to refill their jars at home.
