Nawed General Store

My shop is located in Shaheed Nagar, specifically at E-208 in the Sahibabad area. We are right by Jai Pal Chauk, not far from the Ekta Model Public School. Because of the school, I get a lot of kids coming in for sweets and pens. The shop is a small room that opens right onto the street. I have spent many years here, watching the neighborhood change. I sell all the usual general store items like shampoo sachets, spices, and snacks. The walls are lined with glass jars full of different candies. I have to be careful with the heat in Ghaziabad, as things can melt or go bad if I don't watch out. I usually sit on a wooden stool near the entrance so I can see everyone coming and going. The street is always noisy with people shouting and bikes honking. It’s a lively place to work. I don't use a computer for my accounts; I just write everything down in a big register. Sometimes my neighbors come over just to sit and talk for a bit. It’s more than just a shop; it’s where I spend my whole day. I keep the basic things that every household needs so people don't have to go far. It’s a lot of work to keep everything organized, but it keeps me busy and connected to the people around here.
