Deepak General Stores

Our store is on Nahargarh Road, right in the Chandpole Bazar area. Number 3736. It’s a small place but we pack a lot into it. You’ll find all sorts of things on the shelves, from soap to snacks and household stuff. It gets pretty cramped inside when more than three people walk in at once. That’s just the way these old shops are built. I’ve been working here since I was much younger. The street outside is always full of rickshaws and people rushing somewhere. We open early in the morning before the sun gets too strong. Usually, the first few hours are quiet, just a few neighbors getting what they need for breakfast. Then it picks up. We don't have a computer system or anything like that. I just write things down in a notebook when I need to remember what to order next. The shelves are wooden and a bit old now, but they hold everything up just fine. Sometimes a cat wanders in looking for a scrap of food. We mostly just talk to whoever comes in. It’s a good way to pass the time between customers. There’s always something happening on Nahargarh Road. You never get bored sitting here. We don't try to be anything special, just a regular shop for regular people. The building is old but it has been our home for a very long time now.
