Laxmi Department Store

This is Laxmi Department Store. We are located in the Pimpri area, right in the Goyal Industrial Premises. Being in an industrial zone means we get a lot of workers coming in during their breaks. The shop is filled with all kinds of things you might need for the house. We have rows of lentils, rice, soaps, and those big containers of cooking oil. It gets a bit crowded in the aisles when the stock arrives on Tuesday mornings. I try to keep everything organized, but sometimes the boxes just pile up near the back door. The light in the back flickers sometimes, I need to get that fixed. People from the nearby factories usually stop by for some snacks or maybe a cold drink when it’s hot outside. It’s quite noisy outside with all the trucks and machinery from the other units in the premises, but inside it’s just the sound of the fridge humming. We don’t have those fancy scanners or anything, just a regular notebook and a calculator for the bills. It’s a simple setup. My cousin helps out in the afternoons when the school rush starts. We have been here in Pimpri for quite some time, so we know which brands of tea people like and who prefers which biscuit. It’s just a normal store doing its thing every day. Nothing too complicated about it, really. We just open the shutters and start the day and hope for a good turnout.
