Assistant Director

This office is tucked away on Lady Curzon Road in the Shivajinagar area. It is part of the environment division here at NPC. Bangalore is always loud and crowded with traffic, but inside number 11, it is mostly just paperwork and meetings about local regulations. I spend a lot of my time as an assistant director dealing with the various environmental filings that come through our door. Shivajinagar has that old Bangalore feel to it, which I still like after all these years. We are not a huge operation with flashy lights or big signs. It is a government-style setup. We have a few desks, some old filing cabinets, and we drink a lot of tea to stay awake. My day usually starts early because the traffic around Lady Curzon Road gets pretty bad by mid-morning. We look at reports, talk to the staff about the latest guidelines, and try to keep things in some kind of order. It is not the most exciting work if you look at it from the outside, but it keeps the city running like it should. This road is a good spot because it is central, even if finding a place to park your scooter is a total nightmare. Most of us have been working here for a long time. We know the tea stall around the corner better than we know our own kitchens. It is just work. We stay busy and try to get home before the rain starts or the worst of the evening rush hour hits.
