Devdatt G Ghadi

My name is Devdatt G Ghadi and my workplace is over in the Naroda GIDC estate. The address is a bit long, 3/362 Parel Phase 2, but we are definitely here on the 2nd floor in the industrial area. It is a very practical kind of place. You won't find any decorations on the walls here. Instead, there are stacks of papers, some technical drawings, and the sound of the big machines running in the factories nearby. The air in Naroda always smells a bit like industry, which I’ve gotten used to over the years. I spend most of my day at my desk or walking around the floor to see how things are going. It’s not a quiet office. There is always someone coming in to ask a question or a phone ringing about a delivery. I usually bring my own lunch in a tiffin and eat it while looking out the window at the trucks moving in and out of the estate. The stairs up to the second floor are a bit steep, so I get my exercise just by going up and down a few times a day. We deal with a lot of technical stuff that needs a lot of attention. If we make a mistake, it causes a lot of trouble later, so we try to be careful. It’s just regular work that needs to be done. By the time evening comes, the whole estate starts to quiet down a bit.
