Sunita General Store

Sunita General Store is tucked away at 556B in Green Fields Colony over in Faridabad. It is a quiet enough spot most of the time, though the weekends get a bit more lively. The shop itself is small, but we pack a lot into the space. We have everything from toothpaste to snacks and the usual household stuff people run out of. I spend a lot of time just rearranging things on the shelves because we keep getting new stock in and there is never enough room. The walls are painted a simple color that has faded over the years. We have a big heavy shutter that we pull up every morning. Sometimes the fan inside makes a bit of a rattling noise, but it keeps the air moving when it gets hot in the afternoon. Most of our neighbors stop by to pick up small things they missed on their main shopping trip. You see the kids coming in after school looking for something sweet, and the older folks who just want to chat for a minute while they buy their washing powder. It isn’t a complicated business. We just try to keep the basics on hand so nobody has to go too far. The street outside is usually lined with parked cars and a few trees. It feels like home because we’ve been here so long. We just keep the doors open and see who comes by to visit while they shop for their daily items.
