You can find Dipak Stores over near Lal Kothi in the Bank More area of Dhanbad. It’s a bit of a trek if you’re coming from the other side of town, but we are right there on Karbala Road in Shastri Nagar. Dhanbad is a dusty place because of all the mining, so we are always wiping down the glass jars. The shop is a bit of a mix, we have all the usual general items that households in 826001 need. I started working here because it was close to home and it just became a habit. We have some old wooden counters that have been around forever. The neighborhood is fairly quiet compared to the main Bank More junction, but we still get a steady stream of people. Students from nearby and families from Shastri Nagar are our main visitors. We don't really have a big sign or anything, just the name on the front. Sometimes we run out of change and have to ask the neighbor for some coins. It’s that kind of place. We keep things like tea, biscuits, detergent, and notebooks. Nothing too exciting, just the stuff that keeps a house running. The Karbala Road area has changed a lot over the years, with new houses coming up, but we just keep doing what we’ve always done. It’s a small operation, just a couple of us making sure the shelves aren't empty when someone walks in.
