P L General Store

Down here in Malwia Market, near the Town Hall in Maidagin, you'll find our shop. We are at Shop No-16 in Varanasi. It’s an old building, like most things in this part of the city. The streets are narrow and always full of people and cows. We sell general goods, things like tea, sugar, and incense. My family has been in this market for a long time. The walls are a bit dusty, and the paint is peeling in some corners, but we keep the stock fresh. It's very noisy outside with all the bells and horns. We sit on small stools behind the wooden counter. It’s not a place for browsing; you just tell us what you want and we get it for you. Varanasi is a place that never really stops, and we try to keep up. We have a small light over the counter for when it gets dark. Most of our customers are locals who have been coming here since they were children. We don't use any computers, just a simple notebook for the accounts. It’s an honest way to make a living. We don't have any big goals, just to keep the shop running like it always has. It's just a piece of the old market life here in Maidagin. We hope to stay here for many more years doing the same work.
