Susrusha Drug House

We have been here at Sankarassery Arcade on Chittoor Road for a while now. If you know Cochin, you know how busy it gets around Sudhindra Hospital. We are right across from there, which is where people usually end up going when they need something quick. It’s a small shop, but we try to keep the shelves full and organized. My family started this because we live nearby and noticed there wasn't a really handy spot for medicine right on this stretch. Most days it’s just us handling the counter and talking to the regulars who have been coming for years. Sometimes the monsoon rain makes it a bit hard to get into the arcade, but we open up anyway. It’s not a big fancy place with bright lights or anything like that. We just have what people need and we know most of the faces that walk through the door. It’s just how things are in this part of Cochin. We don't have a giant warehouse, just the stock in the back and the main counter up front. Sometimes it’s quiet, and then everyone comes in at once after the doctors finish their morning rounds across the street. We just keep going, day by day. It’s a bit cramped in the arcade sometimes when the deliveries show up at the same time as customers, but we make it work somehow. If you are looking for us, just look for the arcade entrance right opposite the hospital gate. We are usually there until the evening.
