Lumen International

Our office is located at New 6, which used to be Old 23A, on Gulam Abbas Ali Khan 1st Street in Thousand Lights. The street name is a mouthful, but most people just call it the First Street. It’s a busy area of town with lots of old buildings and narrow paths. We’ve been in this specific spot for quite some time now. The building is one of those older ones with high ceilings and thick walls that keep it somewhat cool even when the sun is beating down. We handle international trade stuff, so there are always stacks of documents and shipping forms lying around the desks. It’s not a very organized look, but we know exactly where everything is. The tea seller downstairs comes by twice a day, and that’s usually when we take our only real breaks. Thousand Lights is a great place to be because everything is so close, even if the traffic is a nightmare during rush hour. We don’t bother with fancy decorations or expensive furniture. We have some old wooden desks and chairs that work just fine. We spend a lot of time on the phone or writing emails to people in different time zones. It’s a lot of waiting and then a lot of rushing. That’s just the way this business goes for us. We’re just a small group trying to keep things moving. We really need to fix that leaky tap in the washroom soon.
