Gnral Store is located on Exhibition Road in Patna. It is one of the busiest streets in the city, so there is always a lot of noise from the cars and the people walking by. The shop is a bit small, and we have a lot of stuff packed into every corner. We have snacks, cold drinks, and daily household items. The sign outside is a bit old, and we never got around to fixing the spelling, but everyone knows it is us. I spend most of my day standing behind the counter, handing out change and packing things into small bags. The floor is made of old tiles that are cracked in a few places, but we keep it as clean as we can. It gets very crowded in the evenings when people are heading home from work and stop by to pick up something they forgot. We have a big metal shutter that we pull down at night. It makes a loud clanging sound that echoes down the street. I keep a small stool behind the counter for when my legs get tired, but there is not much time to sit. The air is always thick with the smell of diesel and dust from the road. We just try to keep enough stock so that we do not have to turn anyone away. It is just a typical Patna shop where people drop in.
