V K Balaraman Stores

V K Balaraman Stores is located at 153 on Virinchipuram Road, right in the Arasamaram area. It’s a very straightforward and simple shop. We’ve been here serving the local community for a long time now. Most people around this area know us by sight. We aren't a big supermarket chain or a fancy grocery store. It’s just a small, traditional building where we keep the things that people need for their daily lives. I spend most of my time behind the wooden counter or checking the inventory in the back room. The road outside can get quite dusty when the heavy buses and trucks go by, but it’s a good spot for a shop. We don't have any fancy marketing slogans or a formal mission statement written on the wall. We just open the doors every morning and see who comes in to visit. Sometimes we run out of certain items and have to wait for the next delivery truck to make its way down Virinchipuram Road. It’s a simple life for us. We spend a lot of time chatting with the regular customers about the local weather or the news in the village. It’s not just about selling goods; it’s about being a part of the local neighborhood. My family has lived in this area for generations, so the store feels like an extension of our own home. We don't have any modern features like air conditioning. It’s just a basic shop with wooden shelves and a simple counter.
