Pranjal General Store

Pranjal General Store is located right at the Paper Mill Stop on Paithan Road in Aurangabad. The area used to be known for the mill, and even though things change, people still use that name for the bus stop. It’s a pretty straightforward place. We sell the kind of stuff you need for your kitchen or your bathroom. We don’t have a big fancy entrance or air conditioning, just a regular shop door that stays open to the road. The dust from the traffic can be a bit much sometimes, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the jars and packets. It’s just me and sometimes my family helping out. We know the people who live in the houses behind the main road. They stop by to chat or ask if we have a specific brand of tea. If we don’t have it, we try to get it the next time the distributor comes around. It’s a slow and steady kind of life. We don’t have any big slogans or corporate goals. We just want to make sure the shelf is stocked and the change is right. If you’re waiting for a bus at the Paper Mill stop, you’ll see us right there. It’s an honest way to make a living and we’ve been doing it this way for a long time without making much noise about it. That is just how the store has always been for the neighborhood.
