Sagar Provision Store

Open early at Nigidi Kuvempu Nagar. The road gets loud. Kanakapura Main Road 1 is where we stay most of the day. We have the usual things people need. Sugar, pulses, some snacks. It’s a bit cramped inside when more than three people stand near the counter. We keep the account books under the desk. Sometimes the fridge makes a weird humming noise. My nephew helps on Sundays. We don't have much space for fancy displays. Most people just ask for what they want and we grab it from the back. The dust from the main road comes in, so we wipe things down often. It’s just how it is here. Life moves fast outside but inside it’s just us and the bags of rice. We’ve been at this spot for a while now. Neighbors know us. Sometimes we run out of change. That's always a headache in the morning. We try to keep things organized but sometimes a box gets left in the middle of the floor. You just step over it. The ceiling fan is old. It wobbles a bit when it's on high. We sell a lot of milk packets first thing. By ten the rush dies down for a bit. Then we eat lunch in the small room at the back. It’s quiet then. We check the stock and see what we need to order for tomorrow. Just a regular shop on a busy street. It keeps us moving.
