Gakul Stores

Gakul Stores is tucked away on Lokhra Chariali Road in Guwahati. It’s one of those spots that people just know if they live around here. We’ve been here in the 781001 zip code area for a good while. The shop is filled with all sorts of things, from basic groceries to bits and pieces you might need for the house. It gets quite humid here, as anyone in Guwahati knows, so keeping everything fresh is a constant job. I spend a lot of time moving things around to make space. It’s not a big corporate outlet, just a local store where the door stays open most of the day. You see the same people every morning buying milk or bread. I like that part of it, knowing the neighbors. Sometimes I lose my pen or forget where I put the new stock of tea, but that’s just part of the daily rush. The road outside can be a bit of a mess with the traffic, but inside it’s just the usual routine. We don’t have fancy displays or anything. Just items on shelves and a counter that’s seen better days. It’s practical work. My family helps out when things get busy in the evenings. We don’t make a big deal out of it. It’s just about being here when someone needs a bag of sugar or a packet of biscuits. That is our day, every single day, and we keep at it.
