Jeevan Store

You can find Jeevan Store at 3, Sarampakkam Main Road in Kadambathur. Being on the main road means there’s always something going on. Buses rumble past and kick up a lot of noise. We’ve been here at this location for a while now. The building is simple, just a few rooms and a counter where we stand. We see a lot of commuters and folks from the village. It’s a hot spot in the summer so we have a fan that rattles quite a bit but it keeps us cool enough. Kadambathur is a growing place but it still feels like a small town in many ways. We open up pretty early to catch the first crowd. Sometimes we run out of things and have to wait for the next delivery truck to show up. It’s just the way it goes. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights. It’s just a plain store where you get what you need and have a quick word. I usually sit on a wooden stool behind the counter and watch the world go by when it’s slow. My son helps me out on the weekends when he’s not at school. We are just regular people trying to make a living here on Sarampakkam Main Road. It’s hard work but we are used to it by now. The floor is made of old tiles that are cracked in some places. We don’t mind. It gives the place character. We have a lot of jars on the counter filled with small things for kids.
