Sukhsarwala General Stores

If you head over to Kondhwa Khurd 16, you will find Sukhsarwala General Stores. We have been here for a good amount of time, serving the people who live in the surrounding buildings. The shop is packed with everything from big bags of rice to small packets of biscuits. We try to keep things in order, but when the morning rush starts, it gets a bit chaotic. People want their milk and bread before they head off to work. We spend a lot of time weighing out grains or looking for a specific brand of soap that someone remembers from years ago. The floor is concrete and shows the wear of many feet walking in and out. There is a small stool behind the counter where I sit when things get quiet, but that does not happen very often. We have a lot of plastic jars filled with candies near the billing area for the kids who come in after school. The shelves are made of wood and they creak a little when we restock them at night. It is a local place where everyone knows everyone else’s business. We don't do anything flashy. It is just about making sure the shelves are full and the customers get what they need for their kitchens. It is a long day from opening to closing, but we like being part of the street.
