Akshar Chemist

Akshar Chemist is at number 3, Rajmandir, inside Sanman Society. We are located in the Punagam area, right on the Puna Simada Road. It’s a residential neighborhood, so we know most of the people who live in the blocks around us. The shop has been here for a while. It’s not very big, and sometimes the boxes from new shipments take up all the floor space until we can put them away. We don't use any fancy systems, just a regular ledger and our own way of organizing the shelves. Puna Simada Road can get quite crowded in the evenings. We see families out for walks and people coming home from the factories. We just sit here and help whoever comes in. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except for the traffic noise. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we haven't had the time to close the shop for it. We keep the usual things people ask for. It’s a local business, run by local people. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just make sure we have what the neighbors need. If the rain comes, the water sometimes splashes near the door, so we have to watch out for that. It’s just how things are here in Punagam. We stay open and wait for the day to finish. It is a steady way to spend the time.
