Om Sharda Pharmacy

It’s a regular day here at Om Sharda Pharmacy in Bapunagar. We are located at B.No. 774/5427 in the G.H.B. area, which is pretty easy to find if you know where the Gayatri Mandir is. Every morning when the temple bells start ringing, we are usually just opening up the shutters. It’s a busy spot here. The sun hits the front of the shop early in the day, so it gets quite warm until we get the fans going. People from the housing blocks around here come in all day long. Some are just looking for a bit of advice or a specific tablet they’ve been taking for years. We spend a lot of time organizing the boxes on the shelves because they always seem to get messy. Bapunagar has changed a lot over the years, but this corner stays mostly the same. There is a lot of noise from the scooters outside, but inside we just focus on the prescriptions and making sure we have enough stock. Sometimes the light inside flickers a bit, or the door squeaks, but it’s home to us. We’ve known most of the families around here for a long time. It isn't a fancy place, just a simple pharmacy where we do our work. We keep the counter clean and try to keep up with all the new medicines that come out every month. It’s just how things go here near the Mandir.
