Sunidhi General Store

You can find us in Shamshi, not too far from the ITI College in Bhuntar. Being near the college means we see a lot of students coming through. They usually want pens or snacks or something they forgot for class. The store is packed with all sorts of things, from soap to biscuits. It’s a bit cramped inside because we try to fit as much as we can on the shelves. Sometimes things get dusty if they sit too high up. Bhuntar can get quite cold, so we usually have a small heater going in the winter. We know the bus schedules by heart because the stop is nearby. It’s a steady pace of life. We don't have fancy displays or bright lights. Just the usual wooden counters and racks. Some days are slow, especially when the college is on break. We spend those days tidying up or checking what needs to be reordered. We’ve been here for a while and most people in Shamshi stop by at some point. It’s just a regular general store where you can grab what you need. Nothing fancy, just practical. We try to keep the door open unless the wind is too strong. We have an old radio playing some local news in the background most of the time. It feels like home to us after all these years behind the counter. We also keep a few umbrellas by the door for when the rain starts suddenly.
