Pal General Store

We've been here at Jawahar Nagar for a good while now. It’s a busy spot near Khandari Road and we have gotten used to the noise of the traffic. Most days we are just busy sorting out the shelves and making sure things are where they should be. It’s 7/45 G-2 if you're looking for the door. People come in for all sorts of things, maybe a bit of milk or some washing powder. We try to keep the staples ready for when the neighbors stop by. The shop isn't huge, but we make use of the space we have. Sometimes the delivery truck comes late and we have to scramble a bit to get everything inside before the sun gets too hot. Agra gets quite warm in the summer months and it can be a bit draining. My family helps out when it gets crowded, especially on weekends when everyone seems to need something at the same time. We don't really have a big fancy sign or anything, just the usual setup you see around here. If you walk down the road toward the main junction, you’ll find us easily enough. We usually open up early in the morning. It’s quiet then, just the sound of the shutters going up. By noon, it’s a different story with all the noise from the street. We just keep at it, day after day. It's regular work, nothing too complicated about it. We know most of the faces that walk through the door by now. That's just how it goes in a place like this. Agra - 282002 is where we are.
