A B General Store

We are located on Pir Bazaar Road in the Osmanpura area of Aurangabad. It is a very busy part of town, especially since we are near the famous Tara Pan shop. People are always coming and going on this road. My day starts with cleaning the front of the shop because the dust from the traffic is constant. Inside, I’ve got all sorts of things packed onto the shelves, from notebooks and pens for the school kids to pulses and spices for the home cooks. It’s a one-man show mostly. I know a lot of the people who live in the lanes behind the shop. They come in for a chat and to buy their daily essentials like matches or oil. The shop is small and the lighting isn't great, but it works for what we do. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the whole road and there’s a lot of shouting, but that’s just how Osmanpura is. I’ve lived in Maharashtra my whole life and this shop has been my main thing for years. I don’t use any computer for billing or anything, just a simple notebook where I write things down. When it rains, the water sometimes splashes under the door, so I have to keep the floor mats ready. It’s just a regular life running a store on a busy street. We have what you need for the house and that’s about it. It keeps me busy from morning until late at night.
