Gambhir Medicine Shop

You can find us at G-28/1A in Rajouri Garden. It’s a busy part of town and we’ve been here long enough that most of the neighbors just wave when they walk past. The shop is narrow, so we had to put shelves all the way up to the ceiling. I have a small ladder I use to reach the top rows where the less common stuff is kept. Sometimes it’s a bit of a hunt to find a specific bottle, but we usually get there eventually. The street noise is constant, but once you step inside, it’s a bit quieter. We don't have any big signs or bright lights, just the name on the board outside. Usually, I’m behind the counter checking prescriptions or talking to someone about which cough syrup doesn’t taste too bad. We keep a fan running all day because it gets stuffy with the sun hitting the front window. It’s just me and one helper most days. We get the morning papers and read them between customers. People come here because they know we’re always around. We don’t do much else besides sell medicines and health supplies. The floor is that old grey stone that stays cool in the summer. It’s a simple life, just opening up at nine and closing when the last person leaves the market area. We try to keep the stock updated as much as we can.
