Rohit Kirana & General Store

You can find Rohit Kirana & General Store at Ramdev Road 122. It is a pretty straightforward place. We have the usual snacks hanging from the ceiling and big jars of candy on the counter. The street outside is always busy with bikes and people heading home. We open up early and stay late. There is always something that needs to be moved or restocked. We keep the soap and detergent near the back. The front is for the quick stuff like tobacco or small packets of biscuits. We have a small stool behind the counter but mostly we are on our feet. The ceiling fan wobbles a bit when it is on the highest setting. We know the birthdays of half the kids in the neighborhood because they come here with their pocket money. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the whole road and we have to hurry to unload the crates. We don't have a lot of fancy displays. Everything is just where it fits. We use old newspapers to wrap some of the items. The floor is concrete and we wash it down every few days. Ramdev Road gets very dusty in the summer. We spend a lot of time wiping down the jars so people can see what is inside. It is a simple business at number 122. We just try to have what people are looking for when they walk into the shop.
