Bimala Store

Bimala Store is located at number 6 on M M Road, right in the heart of Fancy Bazaar. If you know Guwahati, you know how crazy this market can get. It’s a tight space with narrow streets and people everywhere. Our shop is small, and we’ve packed it with as much stock as we can fit on the shelves. We’ve been in Fancy Bazaar for a long time, and we’ve seen the market change a lot over the years. We sell all sorts of items that people need for their daily lives. Most of the time, the shop is a bit messy because we’re constantly pulling things down for customers. There’s no air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that works hard during the summer months. We don't have a big staff, usually just me and my son handling the sales and the lifting. We drink a lot of tea and talk to the other shopkeepers on the lane when it’s quiet. It’s a loud place to work with all the shouting and horns honking outside, but we’re used to it. We don't do any fancy promotions or have a big sign. People find us because we’ve been here so long. It’s just a basic store trying to serve the local crowd. We close up late once the market finally starts to quiet down for the night. It’s a tough way to make a living, but it’s our trade and we do it well.
