B. N. Manna & Co.

B. N. Manna & Co. is based at 25/3 on Hem Chakraborty Lane. This is one of those narrow lanes where the houses are built very close together. You have to be careful when you're driving down here because there's not much room for two cars to pass. We’ve been at this address for a long time. The building is old but sturdy. We have a heavy wooden door at the entrance. Inside, the ceilings are high, which helps keep it cool in the summer. We don't have many windows, so we rely on the lights a lot. The lane is usually full of children playing or neighbors talking. It’s a lively place to have an office. We know the people living at 25/2 and 25/4 pretty well. Our workspace is filled with old desks and some newer computers. It’s a mix of different eras. We don't really bother with decorating much. The walls have some marks on them from moving furniture around. We just focus on the work that comes in every day. Sometimes the mailman struggles to find the exact number because the signs are a bit faded, but he knows us by now. It’s a quiet, working-class street. We fit right in with the rest of the buildings on Hem Chakraborty Lane. We often have a cup of tea while we look over the files and plan the next day.
