I was born and raised in Calicut, Kerala. So, most of the shopping that my family needed was taken care of by my father. However, during my college days, I had to move to a hostel. So, this responsibility fell onto me. And there was this supermarket in the middle of the city, which offered a wide range of products. All in an affordable range. Since it was located in the middle of the city, it was easier to access. And more importantly, it was situated just near my hostel. Additionally, the shop would offer several attractive advertisements and offers to attract customers. Which was really beneficial for me as I didn’t have a fixed source of income as a student. So, most of the products sold at the shop was affordable for me. Since it offered a wide range of products, I didn’t have to look around or go from one shop to another. To get one specific product. I could just make a stop at the shop, supermarket, every now and then and get everything I want from this one site.

However, during my college days, I had to move to a hostel, so this responsibility fell onto me. There was this supermarket in the middle of the city that offered a wide range of products, all at an affordable price. Since it was located in the center of the city, it was easier to access, and more importantly, it was situated just near my hostel. Additionally, the shop offered several attractive advertisements and promotions to attract customers, which was really beneficial for me as I didn't have a fixed source of income as a student. Most of the products sold at the shop were affordable for me. Since it offered a wide range of products, I didn't have to look around or go from one shop to another to get one specific product.
