Up here in Guwahati, specifically in the Pandu area along the road in Maligaon, you’ll find Jyoti Store. We have been sitting on Pandu Road for a long time now. It’s a lively part of town with the railway nearby and plenty of people walking past our door every single hour. The shop isn't very large, but we try to fit in as much as we can on the wooden racks. We have bags of rice, different lentils, and those small packets of shampoo that everyone seems to need. Sometimes the humidity in Assam makes everything feel a bit damp, but we just keep the fan running and carry on. People from the neighborhood stop in for their daily supplies, maybe a bit of sugar or some tea leaves for the morning. We don't have a big team or anything, just a couple of us making sure the inventory is okay. I usually spend my afternoons checking what’s running low. It gets noisy with the traffic outside, but you get used to it after a while. We aren't trying to do anything special, just keeping the shop open and helping folks get their groceries without having to go too far. It's a quiet life in a loud area. We see the same faces every day, which is nice. Sometimes we run out of things, but that’s just how it goes with a small local shop in 781012.
