Choice General Store

You can find us at 877 Dasmesh Nagar, right across from the Scooter Market on Gill Road. It’s a noisy part of Ludhiana because of all the mechanics and people fixing bikes nearby, but it brings a lot of life to the street. We’ve been running this general store for a good while now. It isn't a large supermarket, just a place where you can find the everyday things you need without any fuss. I spend a lot of time organizing the shelves because things tend to get mixed up when we are busy. We stock everything from washing powder to tea leaves. The morning rush is usually the hardest part of the day. People are in a hurry to get to work and they want their stuff fast. We try our best to keep up. In the afternoons, when it's a bit quieter, I sit on the stool and watch the traffic go by on Gill Road. It's a busy life but we like being here. My nephew helps me out in the evenings after his classes. We know the mechanics from across the road; they often pop in for a cold drink or some snacks during their break. It's a very local feel here. We don't use any big computers, just a notebook to keep track of things. It works for us. Our shop is just a part of the daily routine for people here. It is what it is.
