Disha General Store

Disha General Store is right here in Jhunsi, Allahabad. Being in this part of town, we get all kinds of weather. Most days are just spent waiting for the next person to walk in. We have the usual stuff like detergents, some snacks, and fresh milk in the morning. The address is 211019, and it’s a decent neighborhood to have a shop in. People around here are mostly friendly. I spend a lot of time checking the bags of rice and making sure things look okay on the shelves. It’s not a big supermarket or any of those fancy places. Just a small corner store for the locals. Sometimes the delivery truck is late because of the traffic on the main road and we have to tell people to come back later for their supplies. That’s just how it goes sometimes. I’ve lived in this part of Allahabad for a long time now. The store is part of the daily routine for a lot of families who live nearby. We open at a regular time and stay open until the sun goes down. It’s a simple life. The fan keeps humming in the corner and sometimes it makes a clicking sound. We don't have fancy lights or big signs. Just the name Disha General Store on the board outside. Sometimes the local kids come in just to look at the candy jars and I have to tell them to be careful not to knock things over.
