Sachdeva General Store

You will find Sachdeva General Store in the Hathi Gate area, right in Katra Moti Ram. This part of the city is very old and the streets are quite tight, so there is always a lot of noise from rickshaws and people walking by. The shop has been in this location for many years, and the building shows its age a bit, but it is sturdy. We sell all the regular household items like soaps, detergents, and loose grains that we weigh out on the old scale. I spend a lot of time talking to the neighbors who stop by not just to buy things, but to share some gossip or talk about the market prices. The entrance is a bit low, so tall people have to watch their heads. Inside, the smell is a mix of spices and laundry soap, which is what you expect from a general store like ours. I keep the account books in a drawer under the counter, and everything is done by hand. It gets very crowded during the festival seasons because everyone needs extra supplies for sweets and guests. We do not have a fancy sign, just the name painted above the door. It is a busy life here in Katra Moti Ram, but I am used to the constant movement and the familiar faces that come through the door every day.
