Mohak General Stores & Electro

Our shop is right there in Budhwar Peth, right across from where Shrinath Cinema is, people usually use that as a landmark when they are looking for us. It's a very busy spot on the street. We have a mix of everything really, general items on one side and then all the electrical bits and pieces in the other section. It's a bit cramped inside because we try to keep a lot of stock on the shelves for the customers. Sometimes you have to move a box just to see the person behind the counter. We open up early and stay till the evening rush dies down. The street outside is always noisy with bikes and people walking past. We know most of the regulars who come in for a simple light bulb or some household stuff. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons, especially during the summer, but we have a small fan that does the job. My father started this business and now we just keep it going day by day. We don't have a computer for everything, we still use the old notebooks for some of the accounts and the daily tally. It’s just easier that way for us to keep track. People ask for all sorts of things, and if we don't have it, we usually know where they can find it nearby. It's a simple life running a store in this part of town.
