Maruti General Stores

Maruti General Stores is located at 7 Bhagwan Nivas on Katargam Road. We are on the Borivali East side of town. It is a decent spot in Gaytri Nagar. The shop has been around long enough that the paint is peeling a little on the outside walls. We focus on getting stuff people actually use every day. Luxury items are not found here. We have detergents, pulses, and some stationery for the school kids who live nearby. The street outside can get quite loud with the traffic. Usually, the radio plays in the background to drown it out. My nephew helps me on the weekends when it gets busy. There is no big sign, just the name painted above the door. A lot of the regular customers are elderly people from the nearby apartments. They like to chat for a bit while we bag their groceries. Being careful with the space is necessary because the shop is quite narrow. Things are stacked high up to the ceiling. Sometimes we need a stool to reach the top boxes of soap. It's a lot of manual work, lifting and moving things around. We don't mind it. It keeps us busy. We are just a local shop that carries what the neighborhood needs. Doors open early and we stay until the street lights come on in the evening. It is a simple life.
