Location- Grocery shop near Seesha Sai P.G
This shop is owned by a person whom we usually call anna. He is a person of dignity and usually stay busy from morning till night. Only the name of this shop is grocery but we can find everything which is needed by us. Many people depend on this shop for breakfast and snacks. It is also a place for a discussion forum where many people share their thoughts by having a cup of tea. We can see here diversity in people and also the patience of anna who control everything. The place nearby gets crowded mainly in the evening hours because of the students of XIME and our classmates who usually have snacks. Many people coming and going but he keeps record of each and every individual and provide them service at the earliest and also share his experience when he feel free. Girls and boys come together to have chat and smoke cigarette and move on. By having a normal interaction with him I came to know his daily schedule which was really pathetic but life is what it is said by him. Along with his two daughter and wife he try to handle the shop as the place was always crowded. This shop satisfy many individuals need and exist only because of the effort made by him and thus also supports many customers.
The Everyday City 
You mention that this is a “place for a discussion forum”. It is quite interesting. If you go here often, would it be possible to raise questions about how public spaces such as these have helped everyone, what they mean to them? Can you identify what makes this place conducive for people to have conversations? Is it the nature of the space? Is it something else?
