Bhagirath Singh

People always ask where we are and I tell them Theatre Road, specifically number 37. We are up on the fourth floor. It’s a busy building and sometimes the lift takes a while, so some of us just walk up the stairs when we are in a hurry, though it’s a bit of a climb in the heat. Bhagirath Singh is the name on the door. Inside, it’s mostly just desks and papers and people trying to get through the day’s work. There isn’t much fancy furniture or anything like that. We have been here for a while and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but it works for us. The windows look out over the street and you can hear the cars and the horns all day long. It gets quite loud around lunchtime when everyone is out on the road. We usually keep the fans going full blast because the afternoon sun hits this side of the building pretty hard. It’s just a normal workplace with normal people doing their jobs. We don't have a big reception area or a sign that lights up. Most people who come here already know where they are going. We just sit here, handle the paperwork, and wait for the clock to hit five so we can head home through the traffic. It’s a steady routine and we are used to the rhythm of this part of the city.
