Wasim General Store

My name is on the sign at Wasim General Store here in Pune City. I have been sitting behind this counter in the 411002 area for longer than I can easily remember. The shop is narrow and quite deep, so it stays a bit dark in the back even when it is sunny outside. I have some old tube lights that flicker once in a while, but they do the job well enough for me. Most people come in for the basic stuff they need like tea leaves, sugar, or cooking oil. I try to keep the shelves stocked up, but sometimes the suppliers are a bit late and I have to explain that to the people who come in. They are usually pretty understanding since they have been coming here for many years. Pune is a very busy place, but in this little corner of 411002, things usually feel a bit slower. I have a small wooden stool where I sit and watch the people and the scooters go by. Sometimes a stray dog will sit near the front door just to get out of the hot sun for a bit. I do not shoo them away as long as they stay quiet and do not bother anyone. The address is Pune City, Pune - 411002 and it is a decent enough place to be. I do not use any fancy computers for the inventory; I just look at the shelves and see what is missing. It is a very practical way to run things for a neighborhood store.
