Mohan General Store

Mohan General Store has been sitting here by Delhi Gate for quite a while. It’s a busy spot with all the traffic coming through the gate. We sell a bit of everything, mostly stuff people need for their houses every day. Soap, flour, snacks, and whatever else is on the list. The shop isn't very big, so we have to stack things pretty high up. I keep a ladder handy just in case someone wants something from the top shelf. It gets dusty because of all the cars passing by outside, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the counters. We know most of the families who live around Delhi Gate. They’ve been coming here since they were kids. Now they bring their own kids in for a treat or some supplies. We don't have a computer for the bills; we just write it down or remember the prices. It’s faster that way when there's a line. Sometimes the delivery trucks are late, and we have to tell people to come back tomorrow. They don't mind much. It’s a simple life running a store like this. We open when the sun comes up and close when it gets dark. There’s always something to do, like checking the expiry dates or reordering the tea. We just keep at it and see how the day goes.
