Jaiswal Store

I’m usually here at Jaiswal Store from early morning until late evening. We are sitting at Shop No. 5 over in Kandiwali West, right in the Lalji Tada area. It’s a busy spot but we like it. Most people around here know us because we’ve been around for a while now. We keep all the basic things people need for their homes like rice, dal, and different types of snacks. Sometimes the delivery truck comes late and things get a bit messy with boxes everywhere, but we manage. My father started this small place and now I handle most of the daily work. It is not a huge supermarket or anything fancy, just a regular shop where you can get your daily milk or a packet of biscuits. The floor is concrete and we have wooden shelves that have seen better days. Customers come by to chat as much as they do to buy stuff. It gets quite hot in the afternoons during summer, but the ceiling fan keeps things moving. We don't have a website or anything like that. Just this physical shop where we write down accounts in a notebook. People stop their bikes right outside to grab something quick on their way home. It feels good to be part of the community here in Kandiwali. If we don’t have something you want, we usually try to get it by the next day. That’s just how we do things here every day.
