Ravi General Store

If you go to Parle Point on Ulsoor Road, you’ll find us at U 3. It’s a typical general store where we stock all the daily essentials that people run out of at the last minute. We have snacks, soaps, packets of grains, and whatever else fits on the wooden shelves. The shop, known as Ravi General Store, is a bit cramped because we try to carry a little bit of everything. Mornings are the most hectic time when the milk deliveries come in and neighbors stop by for bread before work. We know most of the faces that walk through the door because they’ve been living in the area as long as we’ve been here. There isn't any fancy layout here; things are just where they’ve always been. If we move the biscuits, someone will surely ask why. We spend our time restocking the shelves or sitting on the stool near the entrance, watching the traffic go by on Ulsoor Road. It’s a steady kind of life. Sometimes the ceiling fan squeaks a bit, but we’ve gotten used to it. We don't do deliveries with fancy apps or anything, people just walk in and grab what they need. It’s an honest way to spend the day, making sure the local pantry items are available for whoever needs them. The shop has its own rhythm that hasn't changed much over the many years we've been open and operating in this specific neighborhood.
