F M Telecom & General Store

Our shop is on Udhna Tilak Road, right at Sadashiv Peth 137. It is one of those places where you can find a bit of everything. We started with just the telecom side, doing recharges and selling small phone parts, but then we added the general store items. Now, the shelves are packed with biscuits, soaps, and pens right next to the charging cables. It’s a tight squeeze. The floor space is mostly taken up by boxes of stock that we haven't put away yet. Tilak Road is always loud with traffic, and we get a lot of commuters stopping by for a quick snack or to put money on their phones. We have a small television in the corner that we keep on for the news, but the volume is usually low. The light comes from a couple of long tube lights that flicker sometimes. We know most of the people who walk through the door by their names. It’s a neighborhood spot. Sometimes kids come in with a few coins for candy while their parents are asking about a new SIM card. We don't have a fancy display. Everything is just placed where it fits. The counter is wooden and a bit worn out from years of use. In the evenings, it gets quite crowded and we have to move fast to help everyone. It’s just our daily routine here in Sadashiv Peth.
