Govind Bhander

Govind Bhander is located out in Sahebganj, right near the Karnaul post office. It’s a quiet village area most of the time, though it picks up when the farmers are finished in the fields. We keep the shop stocked with the basic things that everyone around here uses every day. You’ll find sacks of flour, some soaps, and whatever snacks the kids are asking for this week. The building is older and the shelves are a bit crooked, but they hold everything just fine. During the rainy season, the road out front gets a bit muddy, so we spend half the day cleaning the floor after customers come in. We don’t have any big signs or bright lights. Most people just know we’re here because they live down the lane or across the way. I usually sit on the wooden stool near the entrance and watch the cycles go by while waiting for someone to need something. Sometimes the stock runs low on certain things because the delivery truck takes its time getting out to this part of Sahebganj. We just make do with what we have on hand. It’s a slow pace of life here, and the shop reflects that. We know everyone’s family news and which brands of tea they prefer. It’s just a regular part of the village and we’ve been at it for a long while.
