Usha Holidays

Working at Usha Holidays on C G Road in Ahmedabad means we are right in the thick of it. C G Road is always moving and there is never a quiet moment outside our windows. Inside, we are usually surrounded by maps and printouts of different places people want to go. It is a lot of looking at schedules and trying to figure out the best way to get from one city to another. We aren't a big corporate chain. We are just a few people who know our way around a travel itinerary. The office has some old posters of mountains and beaches that have faded a bit over the years. It feels lived-in and comfortable. We spend a lot of time on the phone, often waiting for someone on the other end to pick up. Sometimes the internet is slow and we have to apologize to whoever is sitting across from us. It is just the reality of a local office. We take our work seriously but we don't act like we are better than anyone else. Most people who come in are our neighbors or people who have been coming to us for years. We just try to get the details right so nobody gets stuck somewhere they don't want to be. There is usually a half-finished cup of coffee on someone's desk and a stack of brochures that need sorting. We just keep plugging away at the travel plans, day by day, making sure the tickets are actually booked.
