Kailash Provision Store

Kailash Provision Store is tucked away in Tarsali, at S 14. It’s a small spot, but we pack a lot into it. If you walk inside, you’ll see shelves crammed with bags of flour, lentils, and rows of spices. We try to keep everything organized, but when it gets busy, things can get a bit messy. People from the nearby houses come in for their milk every morning. You see the same faces every single day, which is nice. We know who likes which brand of tea and who is looking for a specific kind of biscuit. The counter is a bit scratched up from years of sliding heavy items across it. We don't have any help, so it's just us doing the stocking, the cleaning, and the selling. Sometimes the deliveries come late in the afternoon, and we have to spend the evening lifting heavy crates. It keeps us on our feet. The street outside isn't too loud, but you get the occasional scooter zooming past. We have a small radio that we keep on a low volume just to have some background noise while we work. It isn’t a place for anything fancy. People come here because they need something for dinner or they ran out of soap. We just keep the door open and wait for the next person to walk in. It's a steady way to live, and we’re very used to the daily routine.
