Rajendra Pharmacy

People usually find us right across from Prabhat Hospital here at Moti Tanki Chowk. It gets pretty busy outside most days with all the traffic coming through the intersection. We open up early because that is when folks start coming over from the hospital with their slips of paper. There is a lot of noise from the horns outside, but inside we just try to keep things moving. The shelves are packed with all sorts of boxes and bottles. Sometimes we have to hunt for a second to find a specific brand, but we know where most things are. The fan in the corner makes a bit of a clicking sound when it’s on high. We spend a lot of time counting out tablets and putting them into those small plastic bags. It is a small space, really. We have a couple of stools behind the counter for when things slow down in the afternoon. Usually, though, there is someone standing there waiting. We see the same faces from around the neighborhood. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty because of the road work nearby, so we spend a good chunk of the morning wiping down the glass tops. It is just a regular shop where we do our work and try to keep everything in order. You might see us standing near the doorway catching a bit of air when the shop is empty for a minute or two before the next customer.
