Manuj General Store

Manuj General Store is located right here in Krishna Nagar, Kanpur. The address is 1/94. It is a basic shop where we sell things for the house. We have been in this spot for quite some time now. Kanpur gets quite dusty so we spend a lot of our time cleaning the glass jars on the shelves. We keep everything from pulses to notebooks for the school children. It is a small space but we fit a lot of items in. Most of our customers live just a few houses away in the neighborhood. They come in for small things they forgot during their big market trip. I usually sit near the entrance to greet people. My family helps out when it gets crowded in the evenings after everyone gets off work. We do not have any big signs or bright lights. It is just a regular store for the community. Sometimes the kids come in after school for some candy or a cold drink. We try to keep the staples in stock like sugar and tea leaves. If you are walking down Krishna Nagar, you will find us easily enough. The shop is not anything special to look at, but it does the job. We know when someone is having a party because they buy more snacks than usual. That is just how it is here. We go about our day, stocking shelves and talking to the people who live nearby.
