Shiv Shambhu Provision Stores

Over in Lohogaon, we run Shiv Shambhu Provision Stores. It’s a straightforward shop for people living around here. We don't have any fancy decorations or bright signs, just the name above the door. Most of our day is spent dragging crates around and making sure the flour and pulses are stocked up. The weather gets pretty hot in Lohogaon, so we usually have a fan going behind the counter that rattles a bit. We sell the basics that people need for their kitchens and houses. It’s a lot of small sales—a packet of salt here, a bottle of oil there. We’ve got a system for where everything goes, though sometimes things get moved around and we have to hunt for them. The regulars know us by name, and we know who likes which brand of tea. It’s a quiet kind of life, even with the traffic outside. We don't spend money on advertising; people just know we're here. If someone needs something we don't have, we try to get it in the next delivery. The floor is concrete and easy to sweep, which is good because the wind blows a lot of dust in. We aren't trying to be the biggest store, just a reliable one where you can get your daily needs without any fuss. It’s just work, and we do it every day. Sometimes we have to move the display racks outside to make more room inside when a big shipment of rice arrives. The bags are heavy and our backs usually ache by the end of the day.
