Himalaya Herbal Healthcare

This shop is in Byculla, right on Clare Road in the Ismail Co-Operative Housing Society. Building number forty-four is where we spend most of our time. It is a busy area of Mumbai, as anyone who lives here knows. There is always noise from the street and people moving about. We have been in Shop Number 5 for a good while now. Himalaya Herbal Healthcare is just a regular part of the neighborhood. The shelves are usually packed with stuff, and sometimes it takes a minute to find exactly what someone is looking for. We know most of the people who come in by their first names because they have been coming here for years. It is not like those big malls where nobody talks to you. Here, we chat about the weather or the traffic while we work. The shop isn't huge, but it fits everything we need. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the road and everything gets a bit chaotic for a bit. We just deal with it. It is just the way things are in this part of Mumbai. Working here keeps us busy from morning until we shut the shutters at night. We don't have any big speeches to give. We just open up, tidy the place, and wait for the regulars to show up. It is a quiet life in a loud city, if that makes sense.
