P K Sohar General Store

In Ludhiana, specifically in the Deep Nagar area, you will find P K Sohar General Store. We are located near the Dandi Swami Mandir, which is a very busy spot in Civil Lines. In the mornings, when the bells are ringing at the mandir, we are already busy opening up and sweeping the front. Ludhiana can get very cold in the winter, so we usually have a small heater going behind the counter while we wait for the first customers. Most of the people who come in are locals who live in the lanes of Deep Nagar. They come for their daily bread, milk, or maybe some sugar for their morning tea. We have a lot of stuff packed into a small space, so you have to know exactly where everything is kept. Sometimes it feels like we are just moving boxes from one side of the room to the other. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just rely on people knowing we are here. It’s a lot of standing around and waiting, followed by twenty minutes of everyone wanting something at once. We know which neighbors like which brand of tea and who always forgets to bring their own bag. It is a nice way to spend the day, even if the work is repetitive.
