About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while Dr. Nisha Kripalani was deep in concentration during an important dental procedure, her young receptionist noticed something odd outside the window. A small dog kept staring intently at the ceiling of the waiting room, its eyes fixed on something invisible. Curious, she paused and looked up just in time to see a tiny piece of chewing gum stuck to the ceiling. The dog had been trying to signal someone for help! After cleaning it off, they became friends—now whenever anyone mentions that spot, everyone jokes about ‘the gum incident.’
2. One day, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Nisha Kripalani’s office, he noticed something odd on the pavement—a small, polished wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found no label or note inside. Wondering if it belonged to someone who might’ve left it behind, he decided to leave it near the reception desk when he returned later. When Nisha came back from lunch, she saw the mysterious box sitting innocently next to her chair. Puzzled but intrigued, she opened it to discover a handwritten note reading: 'Dear Dr. Kripalani, thank you for your excellent dental care—you fixed my smile!' Inside was a set of perfect teeth, clearly not human. She burst out laughing, realizing that a well-meaning neighbor must have mistakenly dropped off their dentures.'
3. One afternoon, as a little girl waited impatiently for her turn with Dr. Kripalani, she heard a strange sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she leaned closer and saw that it was the office clock, which seemed to tick not just once per second, but twice—like some kind of secret code. The girl tilted her head, trying to decipher the rhythm. Just then, Dr. Kripalani called out, ‘Next!’ The clock suddenly slowed down, and everyone in the waiting room laughed, realizing it had been nothing more than an old-fashioned double-tick.’
4. One foggy morning, while Dr. Nisha Kripalani was focused on her first patient of the day, she heard a strange humming sound coming from the waiting room. Curious, she walked over and saw an elderly gentleman dozing off in one of the armchairs. ‘Excuse me,’ she asked gently, ‘are you okay?’ The man startled awake, grinned sheepishly, and replied, ‘Just dreaming I was back in my dentist’s chair from my college days.’ Dr. Kripalani laughed softly, ushered him into treatment, and that foggy morning turned out to be quite memorable for both of them.
