Lakha General Store

If you walk down Kun Kun Singh Lane in the Mussallehpur Hat area, you’ll find our little store. It is right there in Nanmuhia. Patna can get really hot and crowded in this part of town, especially on market days. Our shop isn't very large, but we try to keep it filled with the basics that families around here use every day. We've got stuff like flour, oil, and biscuits. The lane is narrow, so it can be a bit of a squeeze when people are coming and going. Sometimes we sit outside on a stool when it's quiet, just watching the neighborhood go by. People come here because it's convenient and we've been around for a while. It's not the kind of place with bright lights or air conditioning. Just a regular shop with wooden shelves and a stone floor. Most of our regulars are neighbors who just need one or two things for dinner or a pack of matches. We do our best to remember what everyone likes. It’s a lot of work keeping everything organized, and sometimes the boxes pile up in the corner before we can put them away. The area is always noisy with bikes and people talking, but that’s just how it is in this part of Patna. We just keep the doors open and wait for whoever needs something next. Nothing more to it than that.
