Jagdish General Store

If you walk down Main Bandh Road in Sgm Nagar, you will find us near the Telephone Exchange. This part of Faridabad is always busy with people moving around. Jagdish General Store is just a plain shop, nothing special to look at from the outside. We spend most of our time checking the stock and making sure we haven't run out of the basics like oil or sugar. The shelves are made of old wood and they have a few scratches on them from years of moving jars around. It’s a bit cramped inside because we try to fit in as much as we can. When the delivery trucks come, it’s a whole process to get everything inside without blocking the front door too much. We know the regulars by their voices before they even walk in. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit there in the dark for a bit until it comes back. It gives us a break from the constant weighing and packing. We don't have any big signs or bright lights. Just a small bulb over the counter so we can see the ledger. The floor needs a sweep every hour because of the dirt from the road. It is just a regular job and we do it every day from morning till the stars are out.
