Piyush Stores

We've been at Chhani Bhairavnath Cross Road for a good while now. Maninagar is always busy, especially around the 12 area where we are. Piyush Stores is just a small spot where we keep the things people need daily. Usually, the day starts with cleaning the front step because the Ahmedabad dust settles on everything overnight. My brother and I take turns sitting here behind the counter. It’s not a big fancy place with air conditioning or anything like that. Most of our regulars live right around the corner. They stop by for small things like snacks or household items on their way home from work. Sometimes the traffic at the cross road gets really loud with all the rickshaws, but you get used to it after a few years. We spend a lot of time just organizing the shelves or checking what’s running low in the back room. It’s a quiet life mostly. We don’t have a website or anything like that, just the physical shop where people can walk in and talk to us. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to chat for five minutes while we're sorting through the new stock that arrived on the rickshaw. It’s just how things go here in Ahmedabad. We keep the doors open as long as there’s light outside. It gets really hot in the afternoons, so we keep a small plastic fan going. Nothing much changes from day to day, and honestly, we like it that way. Just a local shop doing its thing.
