Jai Shri Pharma

We’ve been running Jai Shri Pharma at 258 Indira Bazar for a good number of years now. Our shop is tucked inside the Doongri House Complex, which is a pretty well-known spot if you live around here. It’s always a bit of a squeeze in the bazar, with people and rickshaws constantly moving past the entrance. We spend most of our mornings just unpacking boxes of medicines and checking them against our lists. The floor is made of those old-fashioned tiles that have seen a lot of feet over the years. We don't have anything fancy like air conditioning in the main area, so the ceiling fans are always humming. Sometimes, when it’s really busy, the shop gets quite crowded and we have to ask people to wait their turn. We’ve got shelves lining every wall, packed with all sorts of tablets and syrups. It’s a bit of a puzzle sometimes to find the exact thing someone needs, but we know where everything is. The Doongri House Complex has its own rhythm, and we’ve become a part of that. We see the same delivery guys every day and they usually stop for a quick word. It’s a lot of manual labor, moving crates and stacking things, but it keeps us moving. We stay open quite late because you never know when someone might need a prescription filled. It’s just how we do things here.
