About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Nishkam Pharmacy. A small bird kept pecking at the door, as if trying to get in. Curious, he approached and saw that the bird was trying to reach a half-opened window. Inside, an elderly doctor was dozing off with his head resting on a pile of medical books. The delivery driver quietly closed the window, waking up the doctor who grumpily asked, ‘Who’s been letting birds into my pharmacy?’

2. Late one night, after closing hours, an exhausted delivery driver heard an urgent announcement over the pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Attention all customers and staff—your prescriptions are now available in reverse order of purchase!’ Confused and sleepy, the delivery driver rushed inside, only to find everyone laughing and pointing at a sign that read: ‘Today’s special: Reverse Prescriptions Day!’ Turns out it was just another prank from the friendly neighborhood pharmacist, who loved playing harmless tricks on late-night visitors.

3. In the early morning, before anyone else stirred in the sleepy town, a delivery driver pulled up outside Nishkam Pharmacy. As he approached the building, he saw a small shadow scurrying around the corner—a curious kitten, its eyes wide with wonder. The kitten bounded towards him, meowing excitedly. Thinking quickly, the delivery driver picked it up and carried on inside. Later that day, as he left, he noticed an old gentleman hobbling out of the pharmacy. ‘That’s my cat!’ the man exclaimed, rubbing his head. 'She always manages to get into trouble!'

4. At midnight, when even hospitals had quietened down, a delivery driver parked outside Nishkam Pharmacy and peered into the dimly lit hallway. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming coming from behind the closed door of the healthcare centre. Curious, he cracked open the door just enough to see inside—a middle-aged doctor was singing along to an old Bollywood tune while mixing some powder in a beaker. The driver cleared his throat, startling the doctor who exclaimed, ‘Oh! Just testing new medicine for insomnia—works like magic!’
