R K Medical & General Stores

You can find us at 48/50 Mint Road, which is right near the G.P.O. in Fort. This part of Mumbai has so much history, and you can feel it every time you walk out the door. We’re a medical and general store, so we see all kinds of people coming in throughout the day. Some are locals who live nearby, and others are just passing through after finishing up at the post office. It’s a busy corner, and there’s always someone looking for something specific. Our shelves are pretty packed with everything from medicines to basic household stuff. We don’t have a lot of extra space, so we have to be careful about where we put things. It gets a bit crowded behind the counter when we’re busy, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. The noise of the traffic on Mint Road is like a constant hum in the background. We’ve been here for quite a while, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change a bit, but the core of it stays the same. We just try to help people find what they need and get them on their way. It’s a simple business, but it keeps us very busy from morning until we close up at night. There isn't much time for sitting around, that's for sure. Even on rainy days, the flow of people doesn't really stop because of how close we are to the station.
