Ashiward General Store

Ashiward General Store is over in Adajan Dn Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj 5. It is a local spot where people come for their daily things. The shop is filled with all sorts of items from the floor all the way to the ceiling. Sometimes it feels a bit cramped because we try to keep everything anyone might ask for in stock on the shelves. We wake up early to get the fresh supplies and open the shutters before the sun gets too high in the sky. There is always someone coming in for milk or a packet of something they forgot they needed for their dinner. We know the kids who come in after school for snacks or a cold drink. The location is pretty easy to find if you know the Adajan area well enough. We do not have a big team, just a couple of us who take turns behind the counter throughout the day. The floors get swept a few times but with people coming in and out, there is always a bit of dirt tracked in. We use an old ledger for some things and a small computer for others. It is not the most modern setup but it works for us and the people who shop here. Sometimes the deliveries arrive late and we have to move boxes around while customers are trying to get to the back. It is just how things go here.
