Maharashtra Shason Dudh Kendra & General Stores

The shop is right here on Yerwada Post Office Road, number 191. We’ve been in this part of the Maharashtra Housing Board area for a long time now. It’s a simple place. Every morning starts the same way. The milk van comes in while it’s still dark outside. We have to be there to unload the crates and stack them up. It’s cold work in the winter. Our shop, Maharashtra Shason Dudh Kendra & General Stores, isn't just about milk though. We keep a bit of everything because people always forget something. You’ll find soaps, different kinds of biscuits, and those small packets of spices. It’s a small space and sometimes it feels a bit crowded with all the boxes. We don't have any fancy shelves, just what works. The neighborhood is busy. People are always walking past to the post office or heading to work. We see the same faces every day. Some of them stop for a quick chat while they wait for their change. It’s not a corporate business. It’s just us. My hands are usually busy with something, either cleaning the counter or putting new stock out. We don't have a big sign, just the name. Sometimes the fridge makes a lot of noise, but it keeps things cold, so we don't mind. If you live around Yerwada, you probably know the spot. We just try to keep the essentials ready so nobody has to go too far for a packet of milk or a loaf of bread.
