Reet Varieties

Down on Yamuna Vihar Main Road at C8/258, you’ll find our little shop, Reet Varieties. We carry a bit of everything because that’s what people in the neighborhood seem to need. One day someone wants a specific kind of thread and the next day they’re looking for a gift item or some household stuff. It stays busy because of the main road location, so there’s always someone popping in. We don’t have fancy display cases, just shelves that we try to keep organized, though it’s hard when new stock arrives and we have to find space for it all. The morning starts with sweeping the front and getting the lights on. It’s a family-run kind of vibe here. We know a lot of the people who walk through the door by their first names. We don’t do those big sales or loud advertisements. We just try to keep things in stock and price them fairly so people keep coming back. Sometimes it’s just me behind the counter, other times my cousin helps out. It gets hot in the afternoons, but we have a fan that does the job. It’s just a regular shop where we try to be helpful. If we don’t have something, we usually tell people where else they might find it nearby. We have a big box of plastic containers and steel tiffins that always seem to be popular with the office workers nearby. It’s just simple, daily business for us here on the road.
