Asst. Store

This store is located out in R. Gopalpur Tentultala, which is basically in the Purbachal area. We are quite close to the airport in Kolkata, so you can hear the planes overhead sometimes when things go quiet. Dealing with the store inventory here in Dist 24 Parganas North keeps me busy most of the day. I spend a lot of time counting boxes and checking what came in on the latest truck. The building is pretty simple, just a place to keep things dry and organized. It can get quite humid here, especially during the monsoon months, which makes moving heavy crates a bit of a chore. I’ve lived around here for years, so I know most of the people who pass by the gate. We handle a lot of different items, mostly stuff needed for local jobs. It’s not the kind of place that looks like a big retail shop. It’s more of a functional space with shelves reaching up to the ceiling. My desk is tucked in a corner near the back door. I keep the logbooks there and try to make sense of the deliveries. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit messy, but I eventually find what I’m looking for. It’s a steady job in a quiet part of the city, away from the main madness of central Kolkata. We just keep things moving in and out as required by the projects. I usually close up around six and walk home.
