Mahalaxmi Super Shopee

Talk about getting the shutters up at Ale Phata. The dust on the shelves from the road is a daily fight. Pant Nagar people coming in are mostly neighbors I have known for years. Stocking flour, pulses, and those little packets of biscuits kids like takes up most of my morning. It’s a busy spot in Junnar. Sometimes the milk delivery is late and everyone waits around outside the door. My brother helps out in the evenings when it gets crowded. We keep most things folks need for their kitchens in the back. The billing machine acts up sometimes but we manage to get through it. It’s just us here most days, making sure the jars are full and the floor is swept. You know how it is in a small place, everyone knows everyone's business. We’ve been here a while now at this corner. There’s a lot of tea drinking between customers when things are slow. I spend a lot of time checking the expiry dates on the snacks. It gets hot in the afternoons, so we keep the fan running full speed. People stop by for a quick chat and a bottle of water. It isn't a fancy place, just a regular shop where you get your groceries and maybe some soap or a new broom. Junnar keeps us busy enough. Sometimes I forget to order the specific brand of oil someone wants, but they usually don't mind waiting a day or two. It’s just how the day goes by here at the shop. We try to keep things moving.
