Manipal Hospital

Manipal Hospital on Old Airport Road has been a landmark for as long as I can remember. The road itself has changed so much, with new buildings and flyovers, but we’re still here in the same spot. It’s a big, sprawling place. Sometimes it feels like you can walk for miles and still be inside the same complex. The staff come from all over the city, taking buses or riding scooters through the morning rush. We don't really have a polished way of saying what we do. It’s just work. We see people when they’re having a rough day, and we try to get them through it without making things more complicated. The canteen in the back is where you’ll find most of us when we get a spare twenty minutes. It’s nothing fancy, just basic food to keep us going. The hallways are always filled with the sound of trolley wheels and people talking on their phones. We keep things moving, from the labs to the pharmacy. There’s no big secret to how we run things; it’s just about showing up on time and doing what needs to be done. We’ve had the same signs up for years, and the floors have that specific shine that only old hospitals have. It’s a busy, noisy, and very real place to spend your day, and we’re just part of the furniture here, trying to keep it all organized.
