Rizvan General Store

You can find Rizvan General Store at the Muftiganj Chauraha, which is on Hussainabd Road in Lucknow. It is right there in the heart of Muftiganj, a place that is always buzzing with activity. The chauraha is a busy intersection, so there is never a dull moment outside our front door. We are a general store, meaning we have a bit of everything stuffed into our space. From small snacks for the kids to household items that mothers need for their kitchens, we try to keep it all in stock. It can get a bit disorganized when we get a big delivery, but we eventually get everything sorted onto the shelves. The neighborhood is very old, and the people here are friendly. We spend a lot of time chatting with whoever comes in to buy a pack of biscuits or some tea leaves. It’s not just about the selling; it’s about being a part of the daily life in Muftiganj. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we sit in the dark for a bit, but the shop stays open. We don't have any big titles or a management team. It’s just us working the counter and helping people find what they need. It’s a modest way to make a living, and we are happy to be a fixture in this part of Lucknow. The days are long, but seeing the same neighbors every day makes it feel shorter.
