Shankar General Store

My store is right here in Meena Bazar Sadikpur. If you know Gulzarbagh in Patna, you probably know how crowded this street gets. I started Shankar General Store because I wanted something of my own. Most of my day is spent checking the stock and talking to the regulars who come in for their daily supplies. It is a simple setup, nothing special to look at. I have stacks of biscuits, detergents, and all the loose grains in the back. The weather in Patna gets really hot in the summer, so sitting in the shop all day can be tiring, but you get used to it. I know most of the faces that walk through the door. We talk about the local news while I weigh out the flour or count the change. Sometimes the kids come in for a single piece of candy. I try to keep everything organized, though it often gets messy when a big shipment arrives. My father used to tell me that a shop needs a lot of patience. I think he was right about that. The address is easy to find if you are near the Sadikpur area. I don't have a website or anything, I just focus on the people standing in front of me. This is just a basic general store for the local families around here.
