Husain General Store

Husain General Store is situated on New Najaf Road right across from the Door Wali Masjid in the Kashmiri Mohalla area of Lucknow. It is a very traditional neighborhood and we have a lot of regulars who stop by after they finish their prayers at the masjid. The shop is in a building that has seen better days but it serves us well enough for keeping our goods dry and safe. We stock a bit of everything that a household might run out of during the week. Saadatganj is a busy place and the road outside is always full of motorcycles and people walking. I usually sit on a wooden bench inside the shop and wait for the locals to come in for their daily bread or some milk. The shelves are a bit crowded and I sometimes have to use a long stick to reach the things stored up high near the ceiling. It gets quite lively in the evenings when the street lights come on and everyone is out in the mohalla. I don't really have a set way of doing things I just help whoever walks in and try to keep the place as organized as I can manage. Lucknow is a city that takes its time and we do the same here just serving the neighbors and catching up on the local gossip while we weigh out the groceries.
