Verma Super Provisional Store

Verma Super Provisional Store is right here in Saket at the DDA Market, shop number 14. We sell the usual things people need for their kitchens like lentils, rice, soaps, and different kinds of spices. It is a traditional grocery store where we know many of the families who come in because we have lived here for decades. We’ve been in this market for a long time and the shop has become a bit of a landmark for the regulars. The shelves are packed from the floor to the ceiling because we try to keep everything in stock so nobody leaves empty-handed. It can be a bit cramped when three or four people are inside at once with their shopping bags. We do some home deliveries for the elderly people in the blocks nearby who can’t carry heavy bags of flour or oil. It’s mostly my son who handles the delivery bike and knows all the shortcuts. We get our supplies from the wholesale markets twice a week to keep the bins full. Saket has changed a lot with the big malls and fancy stores nearby, but people still come to us for their daily needs because it is convenient and we know exactly what they like to buy. We don't use any computers for the billing, just the old-fashioned way with a pen and a small notebook. Sometimes we run out of something and have to tell the customers to come back tomorrow morning. It’s just a simple neighborhood store.
