Burgeon Business

The office is right there on Chirakkalpadi Road in Pallikurup. It’s not a very big space, but it fits what we need for the work we do. Most mornings start with unlocking the front door and getting the fans going because it gets stuffy pretty quick. We’ve got files stacked up in corners and a few desks that have seen better days, but they work fine. We handle various business things here, mostly paperwork and talking to people who walk in with questions about their own small ventures. Sometimes the rain hits the roof so loud we have to stop talking for a minute, especially during the monsoon months. We don't really have a receptionist or anything like that. Whoever is closest to the door just looks up and says hello. It’s a quiet part of town, mostly, except when the school nearby lets out and the road gets crowded with cycles. We drink a lot of tea while we look over documents. It’s not the kind of place you’d see in a magazine, just a regular office where we try to keep everything organized. Sometimes we lose a pen or a stapler under a pile of papers, but we find them eventually. Being in Pallikurup means we know most of the neighbors. We stay until the light starts to fade, then lock up and head home like everyone else. It is just 51 Chirakkalpadi Road, nothing fancy.
