M/S: Patel & Associates,

We have been here in Bubnal for a while now. M/S: Patel & Associates is just the name on the door, but most people in the Shirol area know where to find us. It is a quiet spot out here in Kolhapur district. The office isn't anything fancy. We have the phone, (02322) 274025, and it rings more often than you’d think. Sometimes the connection is a bit spotty, but that is just how it is in the village. It gets pretty warm in Maharashtra during the summer months, so we keep the fans going all day. If you are coming from the main road, look for the landmarks near the pin 416104 area. We spend most of our mornings dealing with paperwork and talking to folks who drop by. There isn't a lot of noise outside, just the usual sounds of the Taluka. My desk is usually covered in files, and we try to keep things organized, though it doesn't always stay that way. People ask why we stayed here instead of moving to the city, but it is home. We know the neighbors and the local shops. When the rain comes during the monsoon, the whole place smells like wet earth. It is a decent place to work. We just do what needs doing every day. If you need us, you can call that number. We are usually around unless there is a local festival or something going on in the village.
