About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy’s parking lot—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper, left anonymously next to the mailboxes. Inside, among old newspapers and dusty trinkets, lay an ancient coin said to bring good luck. A few days later, another anonymous package arrived: this time it was a packet of expired aspirin with a note reading ‘Take two before you leave.’ The delivery driver chuckled and popped one himself, feeling lucky indeed. From then on, whenever anything unusual appeared in Nishkam Pharmacy's parking lot, everyone just smiled and said, 'Must be our lucky charm!'
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Nishkam Pharmacy and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Closed for emergency restocking—ask nicely and we might sell you some air.’ The delivery driver knocked gently and said, 'Please, just a little bit of aspirin?' The pharmacist peeked out from behind the counter and replied, 'We’re out, but I’ll give you two aspirins anyway—just ask nicely next time!' And with that, everyone had a good laugh, including the neighbor who’d been waiting outside for his prescription.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Nishkam Pharmacy and noticed an unusual sight: a regular customer was whispering into his empty shopping bag. ‘I told you I’d be back,’ he said, smiling mysteriously. The delivery driver raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off. Next thing he knew, the man reached inside the bag, pulled out a bottle of cough syrup, and popped open the cap with a smile. ‘Thanks again for the refill,’ he whispered before slipping back inside. The driver shook his head and drove away, muttering, “Guess some people just like their medicine delivered late at night.”
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Nishkam Pharmacy and noticed a sign on the door reading ‘Closed for Midnight Meditation.’ The delivery driver knocked gently, thinking maybe they’d missed the sign. A voice from inside said, 'We’re open, just not to customers.' The pharmacist emerged wearing only a bathrobe, holding a cup of tea. He invited the driver in with a wave, remarking, 'Come join us—we’ve been discussing the healing power of sleep!'
