Shiv Milk & General Store

Shiv Milk & General Store is located at number 733, right near the Jain Dispensary in Chirag Delhi. This area has a lot of history and we are glad to be a small part of it. We open up very early in the morning because that’s when the milk crates arrive and people need their supplies for breakfast. It’s often still dark outside when I first pull up the shutters. Being near the dispensary means we get a lot of people passing by all day long. The shop is filled with milk, curd, and all the usual general items like biscuits and soap. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze inside, especially when we have several crates of milk sitting on the floor waiting to be put into the fridge. I’ve spent many years behind this counter, watching the kids in the neighborhood grow up and start coming in to buy things for their own homes. We don’t have any fancy marketing plans or anything like that. We just try to make sure we don’t run out of the things people need every day. The walls have some scuffs from moving boxes around, and the ceiling fan makes a bit of a clicking sound, but it works fine. It’s just a regular life here in Chirag Delhi, serving the people who live nearby and making sure the milk is cold.
