Jain Ayurvedic Stores

We spend most of our mornings here at 105 Vaishali Nagar, just getting things ready before the sun gets too high. Jain Ayurvedic Stores has been sitting in Jagdamba Colony for a good while now. The air inside always smells like dried roots and herbs, which stays on your clothes even after you head home for the day. It is not a very big place, but we have shelves crammed with all sorts of bottles and packets that people come looking for. Usually, the neighbor’s cat sits by the door while we unpack the new arrivals. Some days are slow, just sitting on the stool watching the traffic go by outside, and other days the phone won't stop ringing because someone needs something specific. We don't really do much fancy stuff here. Most people who walk in are locals from the colony who have known us for years. They usually stay for a bit of a chat after getting their stuff. It’s a simple routine. We check the stock, clean the glass counters, and make sure the labels are readable. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the afternoon, so we just sit near the doorway where there is some light. It’s just us doing the work, day in and day out, making sure things are where they should be. The street gets busy in the evening, but inside the shop, it stays pretty quiet and steady. We just keep doing what we do.
