Viral General Stores

We are located on the lower ground floor at 53 in Ghatkopar West. It is right opposite Sainath Wadi, which is a place everyone around here knows. Being on the lower floor means it stays a bit cooler during the Mumbai summers, which is nice. The shop is filled with all sorts of general goods from floor to ceiling. We have buckets, plastic containers, and snacks all squeezed into the space. It can be a bit of a maze to walk through if we just got a big delivery of boxes. Ghatkopar is a very busy part of the city and there is always noise from the street coming down to us. We spend our mornings checking what we need to order and cleaning the glass jars on the counter. The lighting is just a few long bulbs that hum a little bit while they are on. People come in looking for small things like batteries or a specific kind of hair oil. We don't have any fancy displays or anything like that. It is just a practical place for the neighbors to get their daily supplies without having to go to a big supermarket. Sometimes the rain in Mumbai makes the steps a bit slippery so we have to be careful. We stay open until late because that is when most people are heading home and remember they forgot to buy something.
