Retail Shopping at Poonthi Road

 In 2022, there's been a steady rise of retail shops in this part of the world. Before Covid, there was hardly any vegetable shop in Poonthi road and its surrounding. Rangans shop at Kumarapuram was my regular stop, but I often gets pissed off waiting for my turn. It was always crowded and around that time, Vinod a sales guy joined this shop. He was one cheerful fellow who came all the way from Nedumangadu and beyond. Most time when I visited he used to ask a question or two. 

One day he stopped coming. When I enquired, I found that he sprained his back by carrying some veg stuff. And that was the end of his tenure here. Sad! I had called him couple of times. He now goes as patient bystander. 

Coming to the point about shops in Poonthi Road, I must say that one of the shop that benefited a lot during Covid season was Best Buy and the other margin free shops in Kumarapuram area.
