Sri Rajeshwari General Shop

If you are walking down the Main Road in Kankipedu, you will find our shop not too far from the Vijayalakshmi Theatre. Being near the cinema means we get a lot of people coming in for cold drinks or packets of biscuits before the shows start. Sri Rajeshwari General Shop is just a small local business that I manage day to day. We carry all the basic necessities for the kitchen like rice, flour, and different kinds of dals. The shop itself is quite old and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint but it works for us. I usually spend my mornings checking what needs to be ordered from the distributors. It can get a bit chaotic when several people come in at once wanting different things measured out. We don't use fancy computers here, just a simple notebook to keep track of what is going on. Vijayawada weather is usually very warm so we keep the door open to get a breeze. Some days are slower than others and I just sit and watch the cars go by on the road. It’s a quiet life mostly. We know almost everyone who lives on this street by name. We just focus on keeping the shelves full so nobody has to go too far to find what they need for their house. It’s been our way for years now and we like it.
