Bharatpur General Store

Being right in the middle of the Sector-3 vegetable market in Malviya Nagar means there is never a quiet moment for us. Our shop at 3/290 is where people stop after they have finished buying their fresh greens and potatoes outside. They come in for the stuff they can't get from the street vendors, like packed spices, cooking oil, or maybe some biscuits for tea. The smell of the vegetables and the noise of the hawkers is just part of our daily life here. It is a small space, so we have to be clever about how we stack the boxes and jars so everything stays within reach. Some days are better than others, depending on how many people are out in the market. When it rains, the whole place gets a bit muddy and slow, but we stay open anyway. We don't have any big signs or advertisements, just the name on the front and the goods sitting on the shelves. It’s a very practical kind of work. We know which brands the local families prefer and we try to keep those in stock. Sometimes we run out of things because the market is so busy, but we get more stock in as fast as we can. It’s just a regular general store in a busy part of the city. We don't make a big fuss about things, we just serve whoever walks in and try to be helpful in our own way.
