Vinodkumar R Shah Kirana Stores

Vinodkumar R Shah Kirana Stores is located down at Kadodara, specifically 43 KAZI SAIYED STREET BUNDER 3. It’s an old part of the area, and the buildings are close together. We deal in kirana items, mostly the basics that everyone uses in their kitchen. The smell of spices is quite strong when you first walk in. We spend our mornings weighing out pulses and packing them into smaller bags. It’s repetitive work, but it’s steady. The street outside is narrow, so it’s hard for big trucks to get through. We have to carry the heavy sacks from the corner sometimes. My hands are usually a bit dusty from the flour and spices. We don’t have any employees, just family members helping out when they can. The wooden counter has been here since my father’s time. It’s got some scratches and marks on it, but it’s solid. People come here because they know we’ve been at 43 Kazi Saiyed Street for years. We don’t do any advertising or anything like that. People just know where we are. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, so we keep a few candles handy near the register. It’s a simple way of doing business, but it’s been working for us for a long time now. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs to be done. The old clock on the wall is always five minutes fast.
