Om Shanti Verma General Store

Om Shanti Verma General Store is our family business located at Joraphatak on Chandmari Road. We are in the Dhansar part of Dhanbad, 828106. It’s a plain shop, nothing too fancy to look at from the outside. I’ve got a couple of wooden benches where people sometimes sit for a minute to get out of the sun. The shelves are mostly full of things like lentils, spices, and snacks for the kids. I don't use any fancy computer systems here. Everything is done by hand. The ceiling fan wobbles a bit when it’s on the highest setting. It’s a noisy street, Chandmari Road, and there is always someone shouting or a horn honking. I get my supplies from the main market and try to keep the prices fair for the neighbors. Sometimes I run out of change and have to go next door to ask for some coins. That’s just part of the daily life in a place like this. My kids sometimes help me out after they finish their schoolwork. We know almost everyone who walks through the door by their first name. It’s a community thing more than anything else. We don't have a website or anything like that, just the physical shop where you can see what you're buying. It's been this way for a long time and we don't plan on changing much.
