Manish General Stores

We are located at Malka Ganj in Compound No A25/26. It is a busy little corner of the area. Being a general store means we have a bit of everything on the shelves. Sometimes the stock is piled up a bit high because the space isn't huge, but we know where everything is kept. From the morning tea time until late in the evening, there is usually someone standing at the counter. We see the same faces every day, mostly people living right here in the compound or just nearby. Malka Ganj is a place where everyone seems to know everyone else's business. We spend a lot of time just unpacking crates and putting stuff on the racks. It can get dusty and we have to keep cleaning, but that is just how it is with a shop. There are no big signs or bright lights here. Just a regular store where you can get your salt, sugar, or whatever else you ran out of in the kitchen. Sometimes the delivery truck comes late and we have to wait around, which can be annoying. The weather gets really hot in the summer and we just sit under the fan when there are no customers. It is a quiet kind of work most of the time. We just keep the doors open and wait for the next person to walk in. We don't bother with fancy displays, just the essentials for the families that live around us.
