Durga General Store

So, we have this little shop, Durga General Store, right across from the Nigan Nagar Inter College in Tajganj. Being in Agra, things can get pretty busy, especially with the school right there. Much of our day is spent watching students run across the street during their breaks to grab a pen or a packet of chips. We have been at this location for a good bit of time. The shop is full of all sorts of things, from notebooks and pencils to the basic stuff people need for their houses like soap or biscuits. Tajganj is an old area, and you can feel that history when you walk around. We don't have fancy displays or anything like that. It’s just shelves filled with things we know people will ask for. Sometimes the rain makes the street outside a bit messy, but people still come in regardless. We know most of the parents and the teachers too. It is a loud place because of the traffic and the kids, but we are used to it by now. We open up early in the morning before the first bell rings at the college. Usually, we stay open until late evening when the last few folks are headed home for the day. It is a simple life running a store like this. We just make sure we have enough stock so we don't have to tell anyone that we ran out of what they wanted.
