Tiwari General Store

Tiwari General Store is located in Ward No.8, right in the heart of Sadar Bazar. If you are in Tehsil Riyan Bari in Nagaur district, you’ve probably walked past us more than once. It’s a busy street and there’s always something going on outside our door. We sell all sorts of things that people need for their homes. The shelves are usually pretty full, sometimes a bit messy if it’s been a busy morning. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just come in, get what they need, and have a chat. My father started this and now I’m the one mostly behind the counter. The fan overhead makes a clicking sound that I’ve stopped noticing after all these years. We know most of our customers by their first names. Sometimes children come in with a few coins for sweets. It’s a simple way to run a shop. We don't use fancy barcodes for everything; we just know the prices. During the festivals, the bazar gets so packed you can hardly move through the crowd. We stay open late those days to make sure everyone gets what they need. It’s hard work being on your feet all day, but it’s what we do. We just keep the lights on and the doors open for the neighborhood. It's a small place but it's ours.
