Navjivan Hospital

If you are driving down the Godhra - Lunawada Highway, you will see Navjivan Hospital on the side of the road. It is a long stretch of highway and cars go pretty fast past us. Sometimes the trucks rumble the windows when they go by in the middle of the night. Being out here on the highway means we get a lot of dust from the road, so we are always dusting off the front desk and the chairs in the lobby. It is just how it is when you are located right on the main route. The sun hits the front of the building quite hard in the afternoons, making it hot for a bit until the sun goes down behind the trees. There aren't many other buildings right next to us, so we stand out a little bit against the fields. People stop here because it is convenient when they are traveling between Godhra and Lunawada. We have a few benches outside where people sit and wait, watching the traffic go by. It’s a simple setup. No big signs with flashing lights, just the name on the wall so people know they have arrived. We keep a water cooler in the corner for anyone who is thirsty from the heat outside. The staff here mostly lives nearby, so we walk or take a short bike ride to get to work. It is a quiet kind of busy, if that makes sense.
