Jai Gurudev Ganeral Store

You can find our general store in the Kotputli Bazar area, specifically on the Chand Cakki Road in Laxmi Nagar at number 12. It’s a small local shop. We try to keep a bit of everything that a household might need. We have bags of flour, different kinds of lentils, soaps, and even some small toys for the kids. The shop is quite narrow. We have to use every bit of shelf space we have. Every morning, I spend some time dusting off the jars and making sure the items are lined up properly. The street outside is usually busy. People head to the flour mill nearby or walk through the bazaar. Most of our customers are neighbors. I know most of them by name. They stop in for a few items and we usually end up talking. It's nice. We don't do any big advertising. Just a small sign and the goods we put out front is enough. Sometimes it’s a bit of a struggle to keep everything in stock. Deliveries are late sometimes. We manage though. In the late evening, we start pulling in the displays from the sidewalk and getting ready to close up. It’s a lot of standing on your feet and lifting heavy bags of grain. It feels good to be a part of the daily life here in Kotputli. We just try to keep the shop running for everyone.
