Chetan General Store

Being out here at Marwar Junction, things move a bit slower than in the big cities. Chetan General Store is right in the middle of it all, and we’ve been serving people around Marwar for a long time. It’s a dusty place, especially when the trains come through or when the wind picks up across the tracks. Our shop isn't very large, but we try to keep the basics that everyone needs on a daily basis. The shelves are mostly wooden and a bit worn down at the edges from years of use. In the afternoons when it gets really hot outside, we usually sit under the fan and wait for the evening rush. That’s when most of the locals come by after finishing their work. We don’t have a computer system or anything like that; we just use a simple notebook to keep track of things. Sometimes the kids come in for a small treat, and we have to make sure we have enough change in the drawer. It can be a struggle to get supplies delivered all the way out here sometimes, but we manage to make it work. The front of the store has a small bench where people sometimes sit and talk for a while. It’s just a normal general store in a quiet junction town. We aren't trying to do anything big, just keeping the shop going and making sure there’s enough on the shelves for the next day. It’s just how life is here in Marwar.
