Nivash Clinic

Our little place, Nivash Clinic, is located at 1-1 Bharath Flats in R V Nagar. Being in Anna Nagar East means there is always a lot of movement outside, and sometimes the traffic noise drifts inside while we are working. The clinic is basically part of the residential block, which makes it feel quite homely compared to those big hospitals downtown. We have a couple of rooms where we see people who come in for their regular health troubles. It’s not a very large space, so things can feel a bit cramped when three or four families are waiting at the same time. We have some old magazines on the table and a water cooler that makes a funny gulping sound every now and then. The lighting is a bit dim in the hallway, but it’s bright enough in the exam rooms where it matters. Most of our day is spent writing notes and talking to people about their symptoms. We know many of the residents in Bharath Flats by name since they just walk down from their homes to see us. It feels natural to be part of the neighborhood like this. Sometimes the air conditioner struggles with the Chennai heat, but we just keep the fans going to stay cool. It’s just a simple clinic doing its thing every day in Anna Nagar without much fanfare or extra decoration to speak of.
