City Medicine & General Stores

Our shop is located in the Bhaldar Pura area of Nagpur, specifically on Ganji Peth Road. We handle both medicines and general items, which keeps us on our feet most of the day. It’s a crowded part of Nagpur City, so there’s always a lot of movement outside the door. Inside, it smells a bit like rubbing alcohol and soap. We have glass cabinets for the medicines and open shelves for the rest of the stuff like shampoo or bandages. It’s not the most modern-looking place, but we have what people are looking for. The fans hum constantly to keep the heat away, as Nagpur gets very hot in the summer months. I spend a lot of time looking through the drawers to find specific strips of tablets. Sometimes the handwriting on the notes people bring in is hard to read, so we have to double-check everything carefully. It’s a serious job, but we also sell regular household things so it’s not all just pharmacy work. The street is narrow, and parking is always a problem for people, so most of our customers just walk here from the surrounding lanes. We know the families around Bhaldar Pura quite well by now. It’s a busy life, and there’s always a box to unpack or a shelf to restock. We just keep at it every day from morning until the shutters go down at night. It's just how the days go by here.
