Mahaveer Genral Store

If you go down to Ghati Ganj, you will find Mahaveer Genral Store. We have been in this same spot for years. It is a small shop, mainly filled with daily items that people in the neighborhood need. We have bags of flour, sugar, and different spices. The space is tight because we try to fit as much as we can on the shelves. Sometimes you have to move a bucket to get to the back. We see the same faces every morning. People stop by for milk or a packet of biscuits on their way to work. Ghati Ganj is a crowded place so there is always noise outside. We don't have a big sign, just the name Mahaveer Genral Store. I usually sit near the front. My son helps out in the afternoons when he is finished with his studies. We don't use a computer for billing, just a notebook and a pen. It works fine for us. Sometimes the neighbors come in just to talk for a few minutes while they wait for their change. It feels good to be part of the community here. We don't sell anything fancy, just the basics. If we run out of something, we try to get it back in stock by the next day. It is a simple life running a store in Ghati Ganj. We stay open until late evening and then we lock up for the night.
