Sana Paan Shop And General Store

If you are passing through Mahavir Chowk on Jalna Road in Aurangabad, you will see Sana Paan Shop and General Store. We are very close to the Raviraj Hotel. It’s a busy spot with lots of people coming and going. The shop is small, mostly serving as a place for people to get their paan or some small general goods like matches or candy. I spend a lot of time making the paan just how people like it. It’s a skill I’ve had for a long time. The general store side of things is just for convenience. We have the usual stuff stacked up on the side walls. Aurangabad can be quite warm, so we sell a lot of water and soda too. It’s a loud corner because of the traffic at the chowk. We don't have any fancy seating, people just stand and talk for a bit then move on. It is a simple life and the work is steady. Most of our customers are folks who work nearby or are just passing through the junction. We don’t bother with big signs or anything corporate. It’s just a local shop run by local people. We have been here for years and the routine stays the same every day. We open up, set out the items, and wait for the first customer of the morning. It keeps us occupied and we like being part of the crowd.
