Deksha General Store

Jahangirabad is a part of Bhopal that never seems to sleep much. Main Road is always full of people and scooters, and Deksha General Store is right in the thick of it. We are located in the 462008 area, and it is a tight fit sometimes. The shop is small and packed with as many things as we can fit on the walls. We have bins for different pulses and shelves full of soaps and shampoos. It can get a bit cluttered, but that’s just how a general store looks when you're trying to have everything ready for the neighbors. We open up pretty early when the air is still a bit fresh. Most of the day is spent helping people find specific things they need for their cooking or their homes. We don’t have any fancy displays, just the items themselves sitting out where people can see them. It gets really loud outside with all the honking, but inside we just focus on the task at hand. We've been at this address for quite a while now. The floor is worn down from all the footsteps over the years. We don't think about being the biggest or anything like that. We just want to make sure the person coming in can get what they need without a lot of fuss. It is a busy life, but it’s what we know.
