Ambika Fancy & General Store

You will find Ambika Fancy & General Store in the middle of Subhash Market on Sojat Road. It is a busy little corner of the world. Being in a market like this means there is always noise from the other shops and people haggling over prices. We don't really get involved in all that; we just keep our heads down and focus on our own work. The shop is filled with a variety of things, some for everyday use and others that are a bit more decorative. We take care of everything ourselves, from sweeping the floor in the morning to locking up the heavy shutters at night. There isn't any fancy management here. We just do what needs to be done. Sometimes the heat in the market is quite a lot, so we keep a small fan running behind the counter. Our shelves are packed tight, and we often have to climb a ladder to reach things for our customers. It’s a simple life. We have lived around here for many years and know the rhythms of the market. We know when the crowds will come and when it will be dead quiet. We don't go looking for more attention than we need. People come in, they find what they want, and we help them out. It’s a straightforward business on Sojat Road, and we are happy enough with how things are going for us day to day.
