Maajisa Kirana & General Store

Maajisa Kirana & General Store is right in the middle of Sadar Bazar. If you know Phalodi, you know how busy Sadar Bazar can get. It is the heart of our town here in Jodhpur. We sell all the basic groceries like rice, lentils, and cooking oil. The store is usually crowded in the evenings when people are heading home from work. We have to move fast to get everyone what they need. There are stacks of sacks near the entrance because we run out of space inside quite often. My brothers and I take turns at the counter. It's a family thing. We named it Maajisa to show respect. The noise from the market is always there, people shouting and horns honking. You get used to it after a while. We've been at this address for a long time. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but we are too busy to stop. We get our supplies from the bigger markets in Jodhpur city. Sometimes the deliveries are a bit messy, but we sort it out. Customers like that they can find almost everything for their kitchen here. We don't do any big advertisements. People just know us because we’ve always been here in Sadar Bazar. It’s hard work, standing all day, but seeing the same faces every morning makes it worth it for us as a family. We don't need fancy decorations to do our job well.
