Saheli General Store

At Saheli General Store, we focus on the daily things people need for their homes. We are located in Sadat Nagar on Station Road in Aurangabad. It’s a busy place with a lot of foot traffic. I started this store because I wanted something of my own. We have a lot of household items, things for the kitchen, and small stuff like hair clips or bindis. It’s not just a grocery store. Many women from the neighborhood stop by to chat while they pick out what they need. The shelves are a bit crowded, and I’m always trying to find better ways to stack the boxes. Sometimes it feels like there isn't enough room. The floor is old stone, and it stays cool even when the sun is beating down outside. I don’t use any fancy words to describe what we do. We just sell stuff. I make sure to count the change twice because I’m not great with math sometimes. The station road noise is always there, like a background hum. I’ve lived in Aurangabad my whole life, so I’m used to it. The shop is my second home. I spend more time here than anywhere else. We don’t have any big promises, just the items on the shelves and a place to buy them. I usually sweep the front twice a day because of the dust from the street. It helps keep things looking okay.
