Milap Chand Nemichand General Store

We have been running this general store at Pinari Chowk for a long time. It’s located right in the Silora Khatik Colony area. People just call us Milap Chand’s place usually. The shop has a lot of different things, from washing powders to tea leaves and snacks for the kids. My family helps out with the daily work because there is always something to do, like unpacking boxes or cleaning the floor. Kishangarh gets quite hot, so we try to keep the shop cool enough so the chocolates don't melt too fast. It’s not a big corporate business, just a local spot where neighbors stop by to grab things they forgot during their big weekly shopping trip. We have shelves that go all the way to the ceiling and sometimes I need a stool to reach the top ones. The street outside can get quite noisy with bikes and people talking, but inside it’s just us doing our work. We don’t do any big advertising or anything. People just know we are here at the chowk if they need a kilo of sugar or some matchboxes. Sometimes the deliveries are late, and we have to tell people to come back tomorrow. That’s just part of how things go here. We like being part of the colony and seeing the same faces every day. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until we close up at night.
