Chandiras Bhavan

Chandiras Bhavan is located at New No 831 on Anna Salai. That’s right on Mount Road in Chennai. If you know the area, you probably know the Anna Statue—we’re very close to that. It’s a legendary part of the city, really. The traffic on Mount Road is almost always heavy, and the noise is just part of our daily background. We’ve got the 600002 zip code and we’ve been in this building for a while now. The heat in Chennai can be tough, so we just try to keep the place as comfortable as we can for anyone who steps inside. Being near the statue means there are always people walking past. We see a lot of commuters, office workers, and tourists who are just wandering around the central part of town. Our setup isn’t anything out of a magazine. It’s just a functional space where we do our business. We don’t put up a lot of big posters or use fancy words to describe ourselves. We are just a local establishment on one of the busiest roads in India. Every morning we open up and start the day’s work. The city moves fast around us, but we just stay focused on what’s happening inside our four walls. It’s a lot of work keeping up with the pace here, but it’s what we know. Sometimes the tap in the back room drips, but we fix it when we have time. It's just life here on Anna Salai.
