Kishan Genral Store

Kishan Genral Store is right in the Rampura Bazar. If you’ve been to the bazar, you know how narrow the lanes are. We’re right in the thick of it all. The shop is small and we have things hanging from the ceiling to save some space on the floor. It’s a bit cramped, but we manage to fit a lot of inventory in there. I’ve been standing behind this counter for more years than I care to count. You see the same faces every morning when people come for their daily needs like milk or soap. We know who wants which brand of tea or how much sugar they usually get. It’s nice knowing the community like that. Rampura Bazar is always loud with people shouting and bells ringing on the cycles. Sometimes cows wander past the door and we have to shoo them away. We just keep our head down and serve whoever walks in. The floor is old wood and it creaks when you walk on it. We don't have any neon signs or bright lights. Just a couple of bulbs that keep the place lit enough to see what's on the shelves. My wife brings me lunch in a tiffin every day around one o'clock. We don't really close for lunch, I just eat between customers when it's slow. It’s a simple life and the store is a big part of it.
