Om Sai Provision Store

Om Sai Provision Store is down on SV Road in Adajan. It’s a small place, probably smaller than it looks from the street. We keep all the daily essentials like milk, bread, and different types of lentils. The shelves are quite crowded because we try to fit as much variety as we can into this little space. I usually spend my afternoons sorting through the new stock that the delivery trucks drop off. It can be a real workout moving those heavy crates around. We see the same faces every day, mostly the families living in the nearby apartments. They might stop by after work to grab a packet of biscuits or some detergent they forgot. The street outside is always moving and full of noise. When it rains heavily, we have to be careful about the water coming in under the front door, so we keep the sacks on wooden stands. We don't have any big business plans or fancy marketing tricks. We just open the shutters every morning and wait for the bell to ring. It’s a quiet kind of life, even with the traffic outside. We try to keep the prices fair because we know everyone in this neighborhood personally. It’s just about being there when someone needs a bag of salt or some cooking oil. Nothing more than that. We are just a local store doing our daily work for the people around here.
