Apna Stores

You can find us at Shop No 17 in Sadri which is very close to the Navlakha Mandir here in Pali. Being near the temple means we see a lot of people coming and going throughout the day especially during festivals or special prayer times. We have been running Apna Stores for quite some time now. It is a small space but we try to keep it filled with the things people in this neighborhood actually need. We don't really have a big staff just a few of us who know where everything is kept on the shelves. Sometimes the stock gets a bit disorganized when we get a big delivery in the afternoon and we have to move boxes around to make room. It is a local shop so we know most of our customers by name and we usually chat for a minute while they are picking out what they want. We don't have any fancy displays or bright neon signs outside. The shop is just a practical place for the local community. Usually we open early in the morning when the sun is just coming up and we stay open until late in the evening when things quiet down. If someone needs something specific and we don't have it we try to get it for them by the next time they visit. It is just a regular life here in Sadri and we are happy to be a part of it as long as we can.
