Kallani General Store

Kallani General Store is situated on Tahsil Road in Aurangabad, not too far from Shree Medicals. It is a decent-sized shop that sits right on the edge of the busy part of town. We open the doors early to catch the people who are out for their morning walks. Since we are near the medical store, we get a lot of people stopping by to buy water or some glucose biscuits after they get their medicines. The shop has shelves reaching all the way to the top, and we often have to use a plastic crate to stand on to reach the things on the highest row. We keep all the daily essentials like salt, matches, and laundry soap near the front. The floor is made of old grey stone and it stays cool even when the weather outside is scorching. It is mostly just me and a helper who works here during the busy afternoon shift. We don’t have any big marketing displays or anything like that. Things are just placed where there is a gap on the shelf. The sign above the door has faded quite a bit from the sun, but people in the neighborhood know exactly where we are. We spend our evenings checking the stock and making sure we have enough for the next day. It is a simple routine that keeps us busy from dawn till dusk.
