Saikrupa Genral Stores

If you’re near the Hajibavas Dargah in Bibwewadi, you might have walked past Saikrupa Genral Stores. We’re located in the Vasturatna area. It’s a small shop, the kind where you can find soap, snacks, and whatever else you ran out of at home. I’ve been behind this counter for a long time, watching the kids in the neighborhood grow up. We try to keep the shelves stocked with the basics. It’s not a supermarket where everything is perfectly lined up; things get moved around a lot. Sometimes I have to dig through a crate to find exactly what a customer is looking for, but we usually have it somewhere. The morning rush is always the busiest, with people grabbing stuff on their way to work or school. After that, it quietens down and I get a chance to sweep the floor or check what needs ordering. Being close to the Dargah means we get a lot of people passing through, not just the regulars. It’s a busy little corner of Bibwewadi. I don’t have a big staff, just me and occasionally a family member helping out when it gets too crowded. We don’t do fancy ads or anything. People just know we’re here if they need a bottle of milk or some washing powder. It’s a simple business, and I like the rhythm of it. It’s just life in the shop, day in and day out.
