Yogesh Ganeral Store

Yogesh Ganeral Store is located in the Paota Main Market in Kotputli. It’s a typical general store where we keep a bit of everything that people might need for their homes. We have things like soap, toothpaste, snacks, and some basic kitchen items. The market here in Paota is always buzzing with people, especially in the mornings and evenings when everyone is out shopping. I spend a lot of my day standing behind the counter, talking to customers and putting items into bags. It’s a lot of work to keep the shelves stocked because things sell out fast. We get all sorts of people coming in, from farmers to local families. The store isn't very large, so we have boxes piled up in the corners sometimes. It can get a bit dusty with the door open to the street, but that’s just how it is in Kotputli. We don't have a computer system or anything, I just write things down or remember the prices. Sometimes kids come in with a few coins to buy some candy. It’s a busy life but I like being in the main market where everything is happening. We try to be fair with everyone and keep the things people want most. The afternoon sun can be really bright inside the shop, but we just lower the shade for a bit until it passes. It’s just a simple shop helping the local people get what they need.
