Kaushik Pharmaceutical

Our shop is located at W-6Shastri Marg in Salasar. If you’ve been to Salasar, you know it can get very crowded with all the people coming to the temple. We are right there on the main stretch, so we see all kinds of people every day. We handle medicines and pharmaceutical supplies for the locals and the visitors too. It’s a small shop but we pack a lot into the shelves. Usually, it's me and one other person working behind the counter. The mornings are usually the quietest time before the buses start arriving. We spend a lot of time checking dates on boxes and making sure we have the common stuff in stock. Sometimes the heat in Salasar is really intense, so we have a big fan going all day long. It gets dusty with the wind blowing off the street, so we are always wiping down the counters. We don't have any fancy displays or anything. People just come in with their prescriptions or looking for something for a headache or a cold. It’s a simple business. We like being on Shastri Marg because everything is close by. You hear the bells from the temple and the sound of the crowds all day long. It’s a busy life, but we have been here a long time and we know how it goes. We just focus on keeping the shelves full and helping people out.
