Shubas General Str

You can find us at Shop No 5 in Gautam Nagar, right near the Chatek Bridge here in Bhopal. The name on the board says General Str because we ran out of space when painting it, but everyone knows who we are. It’s a decent sized shop but we have a lot of stuff crammed into every corner. The bridge nearby makes it a very busy location with people commuting back and forth all day. We get a lot of foot traffic in the mornings when people are heading to work and need a quick pack of cigarettes or some matches. I spend a lot of time standing by the entrance just watching the world go by when I'm not helping customers. We stock all the basic household needs like tea leaves, sugar, and various snacks. The shelves are a bit mismatched and some are slightly tilted, but they hold the weight just fine. I try to keep the floor clean, but with so many people coming in, it’s a constant battle with the dirt. The light comes in through the front door in a nice way during the late afternoon. I usually have a radio playing somewhere in the back, mostly just for some background noise. We don’t have any fancy computers or anything, just a simple ledger where I keep track of things. It’s a quiet life in many ways, just being a part of the daily rhythm of Gautam Nagar and serving the people around here.
