Rana General Store

We are located in Sector 76 of Faridabad, in that Bptp Next Door Complex. It’s a bit different from the old markets because everything is newer here. Shop No. 42 is where I spend my whole day. It’s a general store, so we carry a bit of everything that people in the complex might need suddenly. Batteries, pens, snacks, and the usual grocery items. The walls are painted a plain off-white and I’ve got some calendars hanging up to keep track of the days. It gets a bit lonely during the mid-day stretch when everyone is at their offices. I usually listen to the radio or check my phone during those hours. When the school buses drop the kids off, the shop gets noisy for a bit. They all want chips or chocolate. I have to keep an eye on them so they don't knock things over. The inventory is always a bit of a puzzle. I try to order just enough so nothing goes bad, but it’s hard to predict what people will buy. One week everyone wants biscuits, the next week nobody touches them. It’s just me running the place mostly. I close up around nine at night and head home. It’s a steady job and it keeps me busy enough. The complex is growing, so maybe it'll get even busier next year. I keep a small chair behind the counter for when my legs get tired. Life is simple here.
