Ramvilas Rampal Agarwal General Store

This shop is located at Bichali Khirki Chowk in Kishangarh. The name on the board is Ramvilas Rampal Agarwal, which is quite long, but it’s been that way for a long time. It’s a traditional general store in an older part of the city. The building itself has thick walls and high ceilings, which helps a bit when the Kishangarh summer is at its worst. We deal in all sorts of general items. We have large containers of oils and big bags of sugar that we weigh out for customers. It is the kind of place where you can find those specific things that the newer supermarkets don't always carry. We spend a lot of our time talking to the regulars who have been coming here for decades. Their kids and even their grandkids come in now. It’s a very local atmosphere at Bichali Khirki Chowk. We don’t use much technology here; we still do a lot of things the old-fashioned way with paper and pen. The shelves are made of heavy wood and they are filled with everything from incense sticks to laundry soap. It gets a bit dark inside the store because of how the building is made, but we know exactly where everything is kept. Sometimes it takes a minute to find a specific item if it's tucked away in the back. We just focus on getting through the day and making sure the inventory is right.
