Shri Ram Departmental Store

We've been here at A-1, Basant Bahaar for a good while now. It is right near Gopal Bridge on Tonk Road, so most people around here know the spot. Usually, the morning starts with setting out the new stock and making sure the shelves aren't empty for the early shoppers. Shri Ram Departmental Store is basically where the locals stop by for their milk, bread, or whatever else they forgot to buy earlier in the week. It gets busy in the evenings when everyone is heading back home. We just try to keep things organized. Sometimes the crates get piled up in the corner when a big delivery arrives, but we sort it out eventually. Most days it’s just us chatting with the regulars about the weather or how the road traffic is looking. It’s a simple setup. We don't have fancy displays or anything like that. Just the usual stuff people need for their kitchens and homes. If someone needs a specific brand of tea or a certain type of cleaning soap, we usually have it somewhere on the racks. That light inside is maybe a bit too bright sometimes, but at least you can see the tiny labels on the spice packets. Sometimes the kids from the nearby houses come in for snacks after school. It’s just how things go here every day. We open up early and stay until the street gets quiet. It’s a steady routine that keeps us going.
