Sachin Sports & Gifts

Being right by the Cts Bus Stand in Sanganer means there is never a quiet moment. Sachin Sports & Gifts has been sitting here watching the buses come and go for ages. We get a lot of travelers who have a bit of time to kill and decide to browse through the cricket bats or the footballs. The sports gear takes up one side and the gifts take up the other. It’s a bit of a jumble, to be honest. You might find a badminton racket leaning against a shelf of birthday cards. We don't have a lot of space, so things are tucked into every corner. The ceiling fan hums loudly, and during the hot afternoons, it doesn't do much, but we stay anyway. Kids from the local schools often stop by to stare at the medals and trophies we keep in the glass case. They rarely buy them, but they like looking. We spend a lot of time just talking to the drivers or people waiting for their bus. It’s a social spot more than anything else. The floor gets tracked with mud when it rains because of all the foot traffic from the stand. We just keep a broom handy and sweep whenever we can. It’s just a basic shop where we try to keep things useful for the locals and the people passing through. Nothing fancy, just us and the noise of the buses and the dust from the road.
