Kevin Chemist

We are over at the Virji Complex, occupying shops 15 and 16. It’s right near the Bhairavnath Crossroad in Maninagar, which is a pretty well-known spot. Having two units gives us a bit more space for all the stock we have to keep. We’ve got rows of shelves filled with everything from cough syrup to bandages. It’s a busy intersection, so there’s always noise from the traffic outside. We don't mind it much anymore. The shop is pretty straightforward. We have a counter where we handle everything. Sometimes it gets a bit hectic when a lot of people come in at once after work. We just try to get through the line as quickly as we can without rushing anyone too much. It’s mostly local families from around Mani Nagar who come to us. We know which houses they live in usually. The lighting inside is a bit bright, but it helps us read the labels on the small bottles. We spend a lot of time rearranging things so they fit. It’s surprising how much stuff you have to keep in a chemist shop. We don’t have any fancy decorations or marketing posters plastered everywhere. It’s just a place to get your medicine and leave. We’ve been here long enough that we feel like part of the bricks and mortar of this complex. It’s just work for us, and we keep at it every single day.
