Shapoorji Pallonj Co Ltd

This is the Madurai office of Shapoorji Pallonj Co Ltd on Periyar Third Street. It’s house number 9. If you know the area, it’s not too far from the main road, but quiet enough that you can actually hear yourself think most of the time. The sun gets really hot in Madurai, so the building stays pretty warm by the afternoon. We usually have the windows open to catch a bit of a breeze, even if it brings in some dust from the street. The floor is that old-style tile that stays a bit cooler than the rest of the room. We have a few desks set up for the staff. It’s a simple place. We don’t have those big glass partitions or fancy carpets you see in movies. It’s just us doing our jobs. There’s a small tea shop around the corner where we usually get our morning and afternoon drinks. Most people around here know each other by name. We spend a lot of time on the phone or looking at documents. It gets busy during the middle of the week, and things can get a little messy with papers piling up. We try to keep things organized, but sometimes the work just moves too fast. The front door is almost always open. We’ve got a calendar on the wall that's a bit crooked, but nobody has bothered to fix it yet. It’s just how the place is. We stay focused on the work at hand.
