Shree Hari Provision Stores

Shree Hari Provision Stores is at Kribhconagar, right by Shivaji Chs 3. It’s a small neighborhood shop that has been part of the daily life here for years. Every morning starts with the milk delivery arriving before the sun is even fully up. We have to get those crates sorted and moved inside quickly before the first customers arrive. The shop is tucked away a bit, so we mainly see the residents from the CHS buildings around us. We keep all the basic groceries, from lentils to spices and snacks for the kids after school. The shelves are a bit crowded, and sometimes things get pushed to the back where it’s hard to see them. We try to keep things organized, but when it’s busy in the evenings, it gets a bit chaotic. There’s a small bench outside where some of the older men sit and talk while they wait for their wives to finish shopping. The floor is just plain grey stone, and we have to mop it a couple of times a day because of all the footprints from the street. It’s a comfortable place, even if it’s a bit cramped when more than three people are inside at once. We don’t have a computer or anything, just a big notebook where we keep track of our orders. It’s just a regular part of the neighborhood, and we like the slow pace of life here. When the sun sets, we start thinking about closing up the shop for the night.
