Heeranand General Store

Heeranand General Store is located on Nausar Diggi Bazar Road, which is a very busy part of the market area. There are other shops all around me, so there is a lot of shouting and noise from the sellers outside. My shop is packed from floor to ceiling with everything you could think of, from lightbulbs and plastic buckets to snacks and matches. It’s a bit of a maze inside and I’m the only one who really knows where the smaller things are kept. I have to keep a close eye on the inventory because things sell out fast in this part of town. The sidewalk outside is always crowded, so I have to make sure my displays don't get knocked over by people walking past. I have an old ceiling fan that wobbles a bit, but it keeps the air moving at least. I spend my day counting out coins and folding up paper bags for the customers. My son helps me out in the evenings after he finishes his studies. We don't really have a set closing time, we just stay open as long as there are people walking on the street. It’s a hard life being in the bazar, but I like the energy of the crowd. Every day is a little different depending on who walks through the door. We just try to keep enough stock so nobody leaves empty-handed.
