Cornerstone

We've been up here on the third floor of this building on CMH Road for a while now. Indira Nagar is always moving, and you can hear the metro passing by if you stay quiet enough between phone calls. It isn't a fancy place, just a regular office where we get our work done every day. Most of us take the stairs because the lift is a bit slow and sometimes it gets stuck between floors. We spend a lot of time looking at paperwork and talking to people who walk in. It gets pretty hot in the afternoons, so we keep the windows open despite the dust coming in from the main road. There’s a tea stall just around the corner where we usually go when things get too hectic inside. We started out with just a couple of desks and some old chairs we found. Now the space is a bit more crowded with files and computers, but it still feels like the same old spot. Some days are slow and we just sit around catching up on news, but most of the time it's just one task after another. We don’t really do big meetings or anything like that. People just know where to find us if they need something handled. It’s a bit noisy outside with all the traffic, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. We just keep our heads down and keep moving forward with whatever needs doing today. It works for us.
