Shri Krishna Medico & General Store

We are located at 4, Samrat Park, right in the Palanpur Patia area of Surat. If you look across the street, you will see the BSNL Office, which is a big landmark for everyone around here. Being both a medico and a general store means we have a strange mix of things on the shelves. You might see bandages sitting next to biscuits or shampoo. It stays busy because people are always coming and going from the offices nearby. The floor is made of old tiles that have seen better days. We spend a lot of time looking at the papers people bring in or helping someone find a specific kind of soap they like. Surat is a fast city but in this little corner of Palanpur Patia, things feel a bit more grounded. We don't have fancy lights or big signs. The metal shutters make a loud noise when we open them up every morning. Sometimes we stand outside for a minute just to breathe in the air before the traffic starts to get heavy. The shelves go all the way up to the ceiling, so we have to use a small wooden ladder to reach the top rows. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are inside the shop at once. We just keep doing what we do, day in and day out, watching the seasons change from behind the glass counter.
