Bharat Aushadhi Bhandar

We are located right at number 39 in Ghatkopar East. If you know where Apna Bazaar is, we are just directly across from it. It’s a very busy part of the street, especially in the evenings when everyone is out doing their shopping. Our shop, Bharat Aushadhi Bhandar, has been a fixture here for quite some time. We sell mostly traditional medicines and various types of oils and powders. The shelves are made of old wood and they go all the way up to the ceiling. I have to use a small ladder sometimes to reach the jars at the top. It’s a bit dusty in the corners, but we try to keep the main counters clean. People come in asking for all sorts of things they remember their grandmothers using. We try to keep a good stock of everything so nobody leaves empty-handed. The floor is that old-fashioned tile that’s worn down in the spots where people stand the most. We don't have fancy lights or any of that. It’s just a simple shop where you get what you need and maybe chat for a minute about the weather or the price of groceries at the bazaar across the way. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the front for a bit, but that's just life in Ghatkopar. We like the noise and the energy of this neighborhood. It keeps us going from morning until we shut the shutters at night. We just keep things simple and honest.
