Mahak Provisional Stores

Living and working in Paschim Enclave is pretty quiet compared to the rest of the city. Our shop, Mahak Provisional Stores, is tucked away in Subham Enclave at A-6. It is the kind of place where you can find just about anything you need for your kitchen or house in a hurry. We have sacks of rice sitting on the floor and rows of soap and toothpaste on the wooden shelves. The space is a bit tight, especially when a few neighbors come in at the same time to get their morning milk or bread. I have spent many years behind this counter, watching the kids in the neighborhood grow up. Some of them used to come in for a single piece of candy and now they are buying groceries for their own homes. The fan on the ceiling wobbles a little bit and makes a clicking sound, but it keeps the air moving. We try to keep things organized, but sometimes the new stock arrives and boxes get piled up in the aisle for a few hours. It is just a regular neighborhood store. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights. People come here because it is close to their homes and they know us by name. We keep a notebook for the regulars and stay open until fairly late every single day.
