Parmjeet General Stores

Parmjeet General Stores has been sitting here in Basti Jodhewal for a good number of years now. I took over from my uncle, and honestly, not much has changed since then. We have the same old wooden shelves that lean a bit to the left. People from around the neighborhood stop by for their daily things like soap or some flour. It gets pretty crowded in the mornings when everyone realizes they forgot something for their breakfast. We don't have fancy lights or a big sign, just the name painted above the door. Basti Jodhewal is a busy place, and there is always noise from the street outside, but inside it’s mostly just us chatting with customers about their families or the weather. Sometimes the supply truck is late and we have to apologize to the regulars because we ran out of their favorite tea. It’s just how things go in a small shop like this. We try to keep enough stock of the basics, but the space is limited. I spend most of my day sitting on the stool behind the counter, counting change and making sure the jars are closed tight. It isn't a glamorous job, but it pays the bills and I like seeing the same faces every day. If you live around here, you probably know where we are. We just keep things moving one day at a time without too much fuss or extra worry.
