Amit Genral Store

Amit Genral Store is located in Nariya, Varanasi. We are right on the main path where people walk every day. It’s a basic shop. We don’t have any big corporate ideas. We just sell things like biscuits, pens, batteries, and the usual grocery items. The shelves are mostly made of metal and they are packed tight with different goods. If you need something, you usually have to ask because we know exactly where every little thing is hidden. The shop can be a bit dusty because of the road, but we try to keep it clean. We aren't open 24 hours or anything, just the normal hours from morning until the evening. Sometimes we close for a bit in the afternoon when it’s too hot and nobody is out on the street. It’s a quiet life for the most part. We have a small television in the corner that we watch when there are no customers. Most of our shoppers are from the houses right around here. We don't do deliveries or anything complicated. You just come in, get what you want, and pay at the counter. It’s a very old-fashioned way of doing things but it works for us and it works for Nariya. We just keep the shop going day by day, making sure the jars are full and the lights are on. We like seeing the regular faces coming through the door.
