New Jyoti General Store

We have been sitting here at New Jyoti General Store on Dugri Road for quite a while now. Arpita Park Society is right behind us, so a lot of the people who live there just walk over when they run out of milk or sugar. It gets pretty busy in the mornings. I usually open up early because the school kids need snacks or pens before they head out. The shop isn't fancy. There are shelves everywhere filled with all sorts of things like soap, biscuits, and those little packets of spices. Sometimes it feels like we have too much stuff in here, but people always seem to find what they need eventually. Dhandra Road stays pretty noisy with the traffic going by all day long. I try to keep the front tidy, but the dust always finds a way in. We just handle the daily customers and try to make sure we don't run out of the basics. If someone asks for something we don't have, I usually try to get it for them by the next week. It is just a small place, nothing special to look at from the outside. Most of the families around here know me by name. It is nice seeing the same faces every day. My brother helps out in the evenings when things get a bit more crowded. We just keep doing what we do.
