Financial Analyst

Working as a Financial Analyst at Punyendubhaban in Cuttack is mostly about the routine. The office is in the Badambadi area, which is always busy with people and buses. The exact address is 753012 in Orissa. It’s a tallish building and the stairs can be a bit of a workout. Inside, it’s mostly just me and the files. There are stacks of papers on the desk that never seem to go away. I spend my day looking at numbers and trying to make sense of them for the people who come in. Badambadi is a loud place, so there’s a constant hum of engines and horns coming through the glass. You get used to the humidity here after a while, though the fan stays on all day long. Punyendubhaban isn't a new building, so it has that old-school feel to the walls and the flooring. Clients usually drop by in the late morning. I don't have a receptionist, so people just knock on the door and walk in. It’s a very straightforward way of doing things. I’ve lived in Orissa my whole life, so the pace here feels right to me. It’s just a small office where I handle the financial side of things for local folks. There’s nothing fancy about it, just a desk, a computer, and a lot of calculators. If you find Badambadi, you’re basically there. I usually lock up around six when the sun starts to set. There is a small calendar on the wall with circles around the important dates.
