Mahalaxmi Kirana Stores

Mahalaxmi Kirana Stores is located at Shop No 5 on Palanpur Nd Medipoint Road. It is a small kirana shop where we do our best to keep everything in stock for the neighborhood. Running a shop on Medipoint Road means we see a lot of people going to and from the clinics and houses around here. We don’t have any fancy displays or expensive lighting. It’s just simple wooden shelves and metal bins filled with grains, pulses, and other stuff. My hands are usually a bit dusty from handling the flour bags all morning. We don't use a lot of technology, just a simple calculator and a ledger book. Sometimes we get the counting wrong and have to do it all over again, which is frustrating but it happens to everyone. We are just regular people working a regular job. We don’t have a big story about why we started, we just needed a business to run to support ourselves. The Palanpur area has grown a lot lately, and we try to keep up with what people are asking for these days. Sometimes the shop feels a bit small when we have a big delivery, and there are bags everywhere on the floor. We just move them one by one until there’s a path for people to walk again. It isn’t always easy, and the hours are quite long, but we like the independence of having our own place at Shop No 5. We just take it day by day.
