Mukesh Department Store

Mukesh Department Store is located in Ganga Nagar, specifically in a spot we call Welfair Gali. Being in Meerut, we get all kinds of weather, from very hot summers to cold winters, and the shop feels it all. It is a local store where we keep a bit of everything, not just groceries. We have some plastic buckets, some stationery for the school kids, and the usual kitchen supplies. The address is I 511, and it is a familiar place for the people who live in this part of Ganga Nagar. I usually have the radio playing some old songs in the background while I check the dates on the milk cartons. The aisle is a bit narrow because I like to fit as much stock as possible on the floor. Sometimes it is a bit of a squeeze when two people are trying to pass each other with shopping bags. I do not bother much with fancy displays; I just put the new stuff at the front so people can see we have it. The kids from the Gali come in often for small candies or notebooks, and I know which ones are likely to try and get a freebie. It is a neighborhood place through and through. We stay open until fairly late because there is always someone who realizes they ran out of salt or matches right as they are cooking dinner.
