Pappu General Store

So we have this shop, Pappu General Store, right here on Bhuli Road in Wassepur. It's been in this part of Dhanbad for a good while now. People around here know where to find us. We open up early because that’s when everyone needs their milk or bread before heading out for work. The shop isn't very large but we try to keep most of the things people ask for daily. You’ll see bags of rice, different kinds of dals, and those small packets of biscuits kids like. Sometimes the road gets really dusty and loud with all the traffic going towards the main town, but that’s just how Wassepur is. We don't have fancy shelves or bright lights, just normal wooden racks that have seen better days. My family helps out a lot. When I'm not here, my younger brother sits at the counter. We know most of our customers by their names because they live just a few streets away. It’s a simple life. We spend the whole day weighing out sugar or counting change. If a regular customer is short a few rupees, we just write it down in the register and they pay next time. It’s more about being part of the neighborhood than anything else. We've seen the area change, new buildings coming up, but our little corner on Bhuli Road stays pretty much the same. It’s just a basic general store for the local folks.
