Patel Chemist

We are out here in Dahisara, right in the Bhuj area of Kutch. It’s a quiet spot most days, away from the big city noise. The shop is small, but we try to keep what people around here actually need. Living in Kutch means you get used to the dust and the dry heat. Folks usually walk in after work or on their way back from the farms. Sometimes they just need a quick band-aid or something for a simple headache. We’ve been at this address for a while now. It’s not a fancy place with bright lights or glass walls. Just a regular counter and shelves full of boxes. Sometimes the delivery truck is late because of the back roads, but we manage. People know where we are. We don't do much fancy talking here. If we have the medicine, we give it to you. If not, we tell you when it might come. It is mostly about knowing the neighbors. You see the same faces every week. We open up early and stay until the sun goes down. The building is simple, nothing to look at twice. But it works for what we do. Dahisara is home for us, so running Patel Chemist is just part of our daily routine. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us making sure things are in the right place. It gets busy during the monsoon when everyone gets a cold. Otherwise, it’s just steady work day in and day out.
