Deewan General Store

Our shop is Deewan General Store and it is located at 1016, 47A Molar Band Extn. in Badarpur. If you know the area, we are right on Shamshan Road. It is a landmark that everyone recognizes, so it is easy for people to find us. We have been sitting here selling small things for years. We carry a bit of everything like soaps, snacks, matches, and cold drinks. The shop is a small room and we have stacked things right up to the ceiling. It can be a bit hard to reach the top shelves sometimes. Badarpur is a crowded place and there is always dust from the road. We spend a lot of time dusting the bottles and packets to keep them looking okay. People from the nearby houses come here because they do not want to go all the way to the big market. We know which neighbor prefers which brand of tea. We do not have any fancy marketing. We just have a small board outside with our name. The weather in Delhi gets really hot in the summer, so we keep the fan running all day. It is just a basic shop for basic needs. We do not try to be anything else. We open the doors every morning and stay until late evening. It is just honest work that keeps us going. Most days are the same, but we enjoy talking to the regulars who stop by.
