Shardha General Store

Shardha General Store has been sitting here at Mulund West Hosur Main Road 24 for quite some time now. It is a basic place, not like those big supermarkets you see in the malls. We just keep the things that people in the neighborhood actually need on a daily basis. Most mornings start with putting out the crates and checking what got sold the day before. The shelves are a bit crowded because we try to fit in everything from soap to snacks. Sometimes the labels are a bit dusty, but we know where everything is kept. If you walk down Hosur Main Road, you will see our sign at number 24. It is not a fancy shop with bright neon lights. It’s just a regular spot where the floor is a bit worn from people walking in and out all day. We spend a lot of time talking to the regulars who live nearby. Some people just come in for a single pen or a packet of biscuits. The space is small, so you have to mind your step when there are more than three people inside. We don't have a big staff, just us working the counter and helping find items in the back. It gets hot in the afternoons, but the fan keeps things moving. We just stay open until late evening when the street gets quiet. It’s a simple life running a general store in Mulund West. We are just here doing our thing.
