Banwari General Store

We have been running Banwari General Store here in Mahipal Pur Extension for quite some time now. You can find us at K-272 on Gali No 21. It is a small space but we try to keep most things people need every day. The street gets quite dusty in the afternoons and there is always some noise from the traffic outside. We stock things like lentils, different types of soap, and the local bread that comes in fresh every morning. Sometimes the delivery guys are late and we have to wait around, but that is just how it goes. The shelf in the back is a bit wobbly so we don't put heavy bags there anymore. Most of our neighbors stop by after work to pick up milk or eggs. It gets really crowded around 7 pm when everyone is heading home. We know most faces around here. My nephew helps me out on the weekends when he isn't busy with his school stuff. We don't have fancy lights or anything, just the regular tubes. The floor needs a good sweep every few hours because of all the feet coming in and out. It’s a simple shop and we just focus on getting through the day. If we run out of something, we try to get it back in stock by the next day. It is not always easy managing the accounts and the stock, but we manage.
