Ruparel Clinic

Ruparel Clinic is just a small place near Hanuman Madhi on Nirmala Road in Rajkot. It isn't a huge building with lots of glass or anything like that. Most people find us because they are already in the area for the temple or headed toward the blood bank across the street. We’ve been here for quite some time now. You can see the Saurastra Voluntary Blood Bank right from our front step. The road gets pretty busy, especially in the late afternoons when everyone is getting off work. It’s a bit noisy with all the rickshaws and bikes going past. Inside, it's just a normal clinic. We have some chairs for people to sit while they wait their turn. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it's clean and it works for us. We know most of the people who walk through the door by their first names because they live nearby. Being near Hanuman Madhi makes it easy to give directions to anyone who is new. We just tell them to look for the blood bank and they usually find us without any trouble. It’s a practical setup for a local business. We keep the fans running to stay cool during the hot Rajkot summers. There isn't much to it besides the daily routine of seeing whoever comes in. We like being part of this little stretch of Nirmala Road. It’s where we belong, I guess.
