Adil General Store

Adil General Store is located in Gauri Gunj which is part of the Golgadda area in Varanasi. This part of town is always moving. We have been here for a while and most of the people who come in are neighbors we see every single day. We sell the basic things that every house needs like salt, tea leaves, and some plastic items for the house. Varanasi has a way of being very loud and very quiet at the same time. Our shop stays busy with people stopping by for a single cigarette or a packet of biscuits. The shelves are packed with whatever we can fit. Sometimes we run out of things and have to wait for the rickshaw to bring more stock from the main market. Gauri Gunj is a tight neighborhood so word gets around if we have something new. We don't do anything special here. It’s just about opening the shutters and waiting for customers. The fan inside doesn't do much when it gets really hot in the summer but we manage. You can find us easily if you are near Golgadda. We try to keep the prices fair because everyone knows everyone here. It is just a regular store for regular people. We spend a lot of time just talking to the locals who linger after buying their groceries. That’s how life goes in this part of Varanasi.
