Foundation Of Occupational Development

We are over at the Foundation Of Occupational Development, located in C-Block on the first floor of the Bharathiar Complex. It’s right on 100 feet road in Vadapalani. If you’ve been on that road, you know how loud and busy it stays throughout the day. The complex itself has a lot of different offices and shops, so there’s always people coming and going. Our space is up on the first floor. It’s a simple setup with a few rooms and some shared working areas. We don't have a lot of decorations on the walls, just some calendars and notes. The work we do involves a lot of planning and talking to different people. There are always folders stacked up on the tables. Sometimes the lift in the building is out of order, so we end up taking the stairs quite a bit. It’s a good workout, I guess. We start the day fairly early before the traffic on 100 feet road gets too bad. We spend a lot of time on the phones or typing away. It’s not a glamorous job, but it keeps us busy. We don't have a big mission statement on the wall or anything like that. We just come in, do what needs to be done, and head home when the sun goes down. It’s a practical place for practical work. It has been our base for a long time.
