Mohan Store

Mohan Store is located in the Durgakund area of Varanasi. It's a simple place that has been around for a while. We open up the shop every morning around the same time and start setting things out. It isn't a large supermarket or anything like that, just a regular corner store where you can grab a packet of tea or some spices. Durgakund is a lively part of the city, and we see all sorts of people walking by throughout the day. Some are locals heading to work, and others are just visiting the sights. We try to keep the shelves filled with the things people ask for most often. Sometimes the delivery truck is late and we have to tell people to come back tomorrow, which is just how things go. The building is older, and the floor has some scuffs from all the years of people coming in and out, but it feels like home to us. We don't have a big team, just a few of us making sure everything is where it should be. The evenings are usually the busiest when everyone is coming home and realizes they need something for dinner. We just stay at the counter, weigh out the items, and pack them in bags. It’s a steady kind of work. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to make sure the folks in Durgakund have a reliable place to get their groceries without any fuss or trouble.
