Keshav Telecom & General Store

Keshav Telecom & General Store is a small shop sitting in Vasant Vihar in Palwal. It is one of those places where you can find a bit of everything squeezed onto the shelves. We have mobile recharge cards hanging near the front and jars of sweets on the counter for the kids who walk by. The shop is not very big so we have to use every inch of wall space for things like phone chargers, batteries, and snacks. Vasant Vihar is a neighborhood where people are always coming and going so the bell on the door rings a lot. We spend our time talking to neighbors and helping someone find a specific cable or a packet of biscuits. The lighting inside is a bit dim but we know exactly where everything is kept. Sometimes the internet connection for the recharges goes slow and we have to wait around with the customer while it fixes itself. It is a simple way to spend the day. We sit on small stools behind the glass counter and watch the street outside. In the evenings it gets a bit more crowded when people are coming home from work and stop in for bread or a quick top-up for their phones. We don't have a big staff just a couple of us looking after the place and making sure the shelves don't stay empty for too long.
