Kataria General Store

Kataria General Store is right here at number 132 in the Shopping Centre. We have been running this place as a family for quite some time now. Our shelves are packed tight with pulses, rice, oils, and all the usual kitchen stuff. It is a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are inside at once. We keep the heavy sacks of flour near the entrance so they are easier to move. It gets dusty, especially when the wind blows through the open front. I usually sit on a wooden stool behind the counter. We use an old ledger to keep track of what we owe and who owes us. It is the old way of doing things, but it works for us. People from the nearby flats come here because they know we have the basic brands they like. We are not trying to be a fancy mall. Just a simple shop where you can get your salt and sugar without any fuss. Sometimes the electricity cuts out in the afternoon, and we just use a flashlight to find the items on the back shelves. It is just part of the job. We see kids coming in for candies and older people looking for specific spices. Every day is pretty much the same, and we are fine with that. We just focus on getting the orders right.
