Shruti Mini Market

We run Shruti Mini Market in the Kharadi area. It is a small general store meant for the people living nearby. Kharadi has become a very busy place with all the big office buildings, but our shop stays pretty grounded. We sell the basics like eggs, milk, snacks, and some household cleaners. The shop is not very large, so we have to use every inch of the wall space for shelving. It can get a bit narrow in the aisles when more than two people are shopping at once. We have a small refrigerator for cold drinks and dairy which hums loudly all day long. Most of our morning is spent taking deliveries and checking the dates on the bread and other perishables. We do not have a fancy computerized system; we just use a simple notebook and a calculator for most of our bookkeeping. The front of the shop has a small awning to keep the rain out, though it leaks a little bit during the heavy monsoon season. We have been here for quite a while now and we have seen the roads around us get wider and the traffic get much heavier. It is a basic shop for basic daily needs. We are not trying to be one of those big fancy supermarkets. We just want to make sure the locals can find what they need without having to drive too far away. It is a quiet life behind the counter.
