Anna University

Setting up here in Dindigul district has been an interesting journey. We are located in the 624 707 postal area of Tamilnadu. The building itself is quite old and has that specific smell of paper and old wood. Most of our day is spent at the desks. We handle a lot of the local administrative stuff for Anna University in this region. It’s not a very fast-paced environment, which is actually kind of nice. We have time to actually talk to the people who walk through the door. Sometimes people get confused about which office they need, so we spend time pointing them in the right direction. The windows are usually kept open to let a breeze in, although it can get quite hot in the afternoons. We have a couple of ceiling fans that make a clicking noise, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. Our team is just a handful of people who live nearby. We walk or bike to work mostly. There isn’t much to say about the decor because there isn’t any. It’s just shelves full of binders and a few dusty plants in the corner that someone remembers to water once a week. It’s a very grounded place to work. We just do what’s required and head home when the sun starts going down. It is a quiet existence here.
