Qadri Provisional Store

Running Qadri Provisional Store here in Nowhatta keeps us on our feet all day long. It is just one of those local shops where you get your basic household items without any fuss. We have been sitting at this spot in Srinagar for a long time. The shelves are filled with soap, lentils, spices, and whatever else a family needs for their daily meals. I usually spend my morning checking the stock and talking to the distributors who bring the milk and bread. It gets quite crowded in the evenings when everyone is heading home from work and realizes they forgot to buy something for dinner. The shop isn't very big, so things are stacked up high, but we know exactly where everything is kept. Sometimes the electricity goes out, which is common in our part of Srinagar 190002, but we just keep working with a torch or a candle. It is a quiet kind of life, mostly just dealing with the same faces every day. We don't have any big sales or gimmicks. People come here because we are close to their houses and they trust that the weight of the grain is correct. If you are looking for us, we are right there in the middle of the neighborhood. It is a bit dusty sometimes because of the traffic outside, but inside it is just a normal store run by normal people trying to do their job well.
