Raj Provision Stores

Raj Provision Stores is over in the Palanpur Nd area, specifically on Marenahalli 20th Main 6. It’s a bit of a mouthful of an address, but for us, it’s just the corner where we spend all our time. The shop is fairly typical for this part of town, with sacks of rice and wheat sitting near the entrance. We have a lot of jars filled with different kinds of sweets and biscuits on the front counter to catch the eye of the children. The 20th Main road is quite busy, so there is a constant sound of scooters and cars passing by at all hours. We spend our days mostly reaching for items on high shelves or chatting with the neighbors who come in for their daily supplies. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we never seem to find the time to actually do it with all the daily chores. We have a small television in the corner that we keep on for the news or some cricket if a match is on. It helps pass the time when the afternoon slump hits and fewer people are out in the heat. The light comes in through the front door and hits the dusty floor in a way that makes the place feel warm and lived-in. We aren't doing anything fancy here, just running a standard store for the folks who live around Palanpur. It’s a lot of small tasks that add up to a very long day.
