Parekhs Hospital

The area around Shyamal Cross Road in Satellite is always moving. We are located right in the middle of that hustle, though some people spell it Chymal on the maps. Every morning, the first thing we do is unlock the main doors and get the lights going. It’s a familiar routine for all of us. The hospital has its own rhythm, sometimes quiet in the early hours and then suddenly everyone arrives at once. Being near the crossroad makes it easy to find, though parking can be a bit of a headache during peak hours. We see a lot of the same faces from around the Satellite area. It's not just about the medical stuff; it's also about seeing how people are doing. Sometimes the air conditioning acts up when it’s really hot outside, so we have to call the repair guy. Little things like that keep us busy. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It’s just us here on the ground, making sure things are running okay. We keep a stack of old magazines in the waiting area, though most people just look at their phones now. When the sun starts to go down, the lights from the shops around the crossroad start flickering on. It’s just a regular part of the neighborhood. We’ve been here long enough that we feel like a fixture of the street. It’s a lot of hard work, but we just keep at it day after day.
