Shifa Clinic

Shifa Clinic is located on Ashoka Road, right in the thick of things. It’s a busy stretch of road, so there is always a lot of noise from cars and bikes going past our front door. We’ve been here long enough that we don't even notice the honking horns anymore; it’s just background noise to us now. The clinic itself is quite small, just enough room for a couple of people to wait and a little space for us to do our work. We didn't spend much on a decorator or anything fancy like that when we moved in. We just painted the walls a simple color and put up some basic shelves for our supplies. Sometimes the shelves get a bit cluttered, but we know exactly where everything is kept. People usually stop in because they’re passing by on their way to work or because a neighbor told them we were here. We don't do any big advertising or anything. We just open up the shutters every morning and wait to see who needs us. There’s a small window that lets in some natural light, but it mostly looks out onto the brick wall of the building next door. It isn't a glamorous job, but it is what we do. We drink quite a bit of tea and talk to the regulars who stop by just to say hello. Sometimes deliveries take too long to get here because of the traffic on Ashoka Road. It’s just the way it goes.
