Aditi Print

You have to come up to the third floor of Krishna Complex to find us. We are in office number thirteen. It’s right near Janta Fatak on Indira Marg, so there is always a lot of movement outside with the trains and the cars. Being on the third floor means we get a bit of exercise every single day, though the stairs can be a bit much when we are carrying heavy boxes of paper up. The smell of ink is the first thing you notice when you walk inside our space. We’ve got our machines running most of the time. It gets a bit loud when the printers are all going at once, but we’ve gotten used to the noise over time. We do all sorts of printing jobs for people who come in from the neighborhood. Sometimes it’s just a few pages, other times it’s much more than that. We spend a lot of time looking at screens and making sure the colors look okay on the paper. The office isn't very big, so things can get a bit cluttered with stacks of finished work waiting to be picked up. We try to keep the desk clear but it never stays that way for long. We’ve been here in this complex for a good while now. My brother helps out sometimes when things get really busy. We just focus on getting the work done and handing it over to the customers when they climb up to see us. It's a steady, quiet life for the most part.
