National Institute Of Mental Health And Neurosciences

NIMHANS is a big place located right on Hosur Road in Bangalore. It’s a very busy institution because so many people come here for help from all over the country. If you’ve ever been on Hosur Road, you know the traffic is almost always a mess, and we are right in the middle of it. The campus is quite large with many different buildings for different departments and wards. Our daily life here involves a lot of walking between buildings and dealing with a constant flow of patients and their families. It’s a serious place, as you can imagine, given what we deal with here, but it’s also just a workplace for thousands of us. We have doctors, nurses, and administrative staff all trying to keep the system moving. It can be quite overwhelming at times because the demand is so high and the waiting rooms are always full. The gardens on the campus are one of the few quiet spots where you can take a breath during a lunch break. We don't have much time for anything other than the tasks at hand, whether it's filing papers, directing people to the right clinic, or maintaining the facilities. It’s a bit of an old-school hospital feel in some parts, with long corridors and lots of waiting areas. We just show up and do what needs to be done to keep the place functioning for everyone who needs it every single day.
