Larsen & Toubro

Our spot is at 17 Nn Ghosh Lane in Tollygunge. It’s a typical Kolkata street, full of life and a bit crowded at times. Larsen & Toubro is the company, but for those of us here, it is just where we spend our weekdays. The building is tucked away a bit, which is nice when the main roads get too loud. We have a small team here compared to some of the other branches. We’ve all gotten used to the way the light hits the office in the afternoons. It can get pretty humid, so the fans are always running. We don’t have any of those glossy brochures or fancy reception areas. It’s just desks, some chairs, and a lot of paper and computers. We talk about the local football matches or what’s happening in the market nearby during our lunch breaks. It feels very local. We know the neighbors and the people who walk past every morning. Every day is pretty much the same, in a good way. We show up, have some tea, and start on whatever is on the list. There is no need for big words or complicated goals. We just want to make sure the day's work is handled before we leave. It’s a steady kind of life here on Nn Ghosh Lane.
