Shabu Dyal Roshan Lal Store

Shabu Dyal Roshan Lal Store is located at number 139 in the Subhash Market area of Kotla Mubarakpur. It’s a name that has been around for a long time, named after the elders in the family. The shop is right in the middle of a very crowded market, so there’s never a quiet moment. We sell all sorts of daily items that people need for their homes. The shelves are packed tight, and sometimes things fall off if you aren't careful. We use every bit of space we have, even hanging things from the ceiling hooks. It’s a bit of a maze inside, but we know exactly where every single item is kept. Customers come in and out all day, mostly locals who live within walking distance. We spend a lot of time talking to them about their families while we weigh out their items. The floor is old stone and the lighting isn't the brightest, but it feels like home to us. It gets really hot in the summer because the shop doesn't get much of a breeze, but we have a small fan behind the counter. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know we are here in Subhash Market if they need something. It’s a humble place, and we just keep it running one day at a time.
