Sarode Hospital

The building here in Jalgaon is where we spend most of our time. It’s Sarode Hospital, and honestly, it’s just a part of the landscape now. We’ve got the regular routine going every morning. People from around Jalgaon know the spot. The walls are a bit plain, maybe they need a new coat of paint soon, but they do the job. We have these chairs in the waiting area that have been there forever. Sometimes the fans make a bit of noise when it gets really hot in the afternoons, which it often does around here. We just go about our work. It’s not like those big fancy places you see in the city. We keep things pretty simple. The staff usually brings lunch from home and we eat in the back room when there’s a quiet moment. There is a lot of dust from the road sometimes, so we spend a fair bit of time cleaning the glass. People stop by, some for quick things, some stay longer. It’s just how it is. You might see a couple of motorbikes parked out front most of the day. We don't have a big flashing sign, just the name Sarode Hospital so people know where they are. It’s a busy enough place but we try to keep it calm inside even when the street outside gets loud with traffic and people going about their business in Jalgaon.
