Wani General Store

Down in Drangbal, in the Pampore area of Pulwama, you will find Wani General Store. It’s a quiet part of the world most of the time, and our shop is just a small part of the community here. We stock the kind of things that families around here use every single day. Since we are in Pampore, things can get a bit cold, so we make sure to have plenty of tea and other staples that people need when they stay indoors. The shop isn't very large, and the floorboards might creak a little when you walk in. We don't have any big signs or bright lights. It’s just a place where you can get what you need without a lot of talking if you’re not in the mood. We spend our mornings checking the bags of rice and flour to make sure everything is fresh. Sometimes the delivery trucks take a while to reach us because of the roads, so we have to plan ahead. It’s a lot of manual work, moving boxes and organizing the small space we have. We’ve been here for a while and the neighbors know where we are. It is just a regular life, running a store and making sure we have the essentials like salt, sugar, and oil. We don’t try to be anything we aren’t; it’s just a simple general store for the local people in Pulwama who need to top up their supplies.
