Raj Laxmi Smart Shop

Raj Laxmi Smart Shop is at 294A, Thomsan Ganj. We are situated near the Sita Rice Mill, so we hear the hum of their machinery throughout the day. The shop itself is a fairly typical retail space for this part of town. We have shelves lined with various household goods and groceries. I try to keep things organized, but when new stock arrives, the boxes tend to sit in the middle of the floor for a while until I can get them opened and put away. The building at 294A is an older one, so it has high ceilings which helps keep it a bit cooler when the sun is hitting the front of the shop in the afternoon. I spend most of my time restocking the shelves or checking the dates on the packages. Thomsan Ganj is a busy area with lots of people moving back and forth between the mills and the other shops. We get a lot of workers coming in for snacks or tea leaves on their breaks. The bell on the door rings every time someone walks in, which can be quite often in the evenings when everyone is heading home. It’s not a massive place, but we try to carry the things people in this neighborhood actually use. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the entrance for a few minutes while they unload, and we just have to wait. It’s just the daily routine of running a shop in a busy industrial area.
