Limestone

Our office is up on the 4th floor of the Aishvarya Flat, right by the crossroad in Naranpura. It’s a busy intersection, so there’s always the sound of horns and traffic coming through the windows. We aren’t a big corporation with hundreds of employees. It’s just a few of us here in a regular apartment building that’s been converted for business use. The elevator is a bit slow, so most of us just take the stairs if we aren't carrying anything heavy. We deal with limestone and related materials. Most of our work involves talking to suppliers and arranging where the loads need to go. It’s a lot of phone calls and ledger books. We don't have a showroom with bright lights. If you want to see what we have, we usually just pull out some samples from the back cupboard. It’s a quiet enough place to work once you get inside. We’ve lived and worked in Naranpura for years, so we know the local shops and the tea stall downstairs pretty well. There isn't much room for fancy furniture or decorations; we mostly just have desks, chairs, and filing cabinets. It’s a practical setup for what we do. We spend the day coordinating between the quarries and the builders. It’s not glamorous, but it keeps us busy. Sometimes the neighbors in the flats complain if we have too many visitors, but we try to keep things low-key. We just focus on getting the orders right.
