Devi Maheshwari Clinic

Chickpet is always moving, you know? It is one of those places in Bangalore where you can barely see the ground because of the crowds and the scooters. Devi Maheshwari Clinic is tucked right into that mix. We open the doors in the morning and the noise from the street just flows inside immediately. It is not a fancy place with marble floors or anything like that, but it is where we spend all our time. Most days are pretty much the same. People walk in from the market nearby, maybe they are tired from the heat or just need to sit down for a bit while they talk to us. We have been at this address for a while now and the walls have seen a lot of faces. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when too many people show up at once, especially on those busy market days when everyone is out shopping. But we just make it work. The chairs are old but comfortable enough, and the fan keeps things moving when it gets stuffy. You can hear the vendors shouting outside if the windows are open even a little bit. It is just the way things are here in this part of town. We do not try to be anything we aren't. It is just a local spot where things get done. We know the tea seller down the road and the people who have shops next door. It feels like home after a while.
