Mukesh General Store

My name is Mukesh and I run this store in Upper Bazar. It’s called Mukesh General Store, nothing too fancy. I started this place in Ranchi a long time ago. The market here is always loud and full of people, which I like. We keep a variety of household goods. You can find everything from biscuits to light bulbs here. I usually spend most of my day behind the counter. My son helps out when he isn't busy with other things. We have a lot of regular customers who come by just to say hello and buy their weekly supplies. The shelves are packed pretty tight. Sometimes I have to climb a ladder to reach the stuff on the top. It’s an old-style shop, but it works for us. We don't use any fancy computers, just a notebook to keep track of things. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the afternoon, but we keep the doors open anyway. It gets dusty because of the road, so we spend a lot of time cleaning the jars and packets. It’s just a normal day-to-day business. We try to keep the prices fair for everyone in the neighborhood. Upper Bazar is a good place to be if you want to be where the action is. We plan on staying here for a lot longer and keep doing what we do.
