Navjivan Hospital

Navjivan Hospital is right on Model House Road, not far at all from Guru Ravidass Chownk. That chownk is always packed with people and traffic, so there is a lot of noise and movement just down the street from us. Our spot on Model House Road is a bit more settled, but you still feel the energy of the city. We have been here for a while and the building shows its age in some places. There are some cracks in the pavement near the entrance and the paint is peeling a little on the window frames. It doesn't really matter to the people who come here though. They just want to see a doctor and get on with their day. Inside, it is pretty basic. A few desks, some chairs, and the usual medical smells you find in any hospital. We don't have any of those fancy modern decorations you see in the big city hospitals. It is just a practical space for practical work. The staff here mostly knows each other well, and we chat about our families during the slow times. Sometimes someone brings in snacks to share in the small break room in the back. It feels more like a house than an office sometimes, probably because we are on Model House Road. We just keep things moving as best as we can, day after day. It is a steady rhythm that we have all gotten used to over the years.
