Fine Pix

Fine Pix is tucked away in Matunga West. We are in Gala No 3/A inside the Vimal Udyog Bhavan, which is on R T Street near the 13th Cross. If you have ever been to Matunga, you know it is a mix of old residential blocks and these busy industrial estates. Vimal Udyog Bhavan is a real maze of small units and workshops. Our gala is not very big, but we managed to fit everything we need inside. It has that smell of old paper and ink that you find in these kinds of industrial buildings. The hallways outside are always busy with people moving boxes or delivery guys rushing around. We are on the ground floor, which is lucky because the freight elevators in this building are always being used by someone moving heavy machinery. The lighting inside is just those standard tube lights, and it can get a bit dim in the corners where we store our extra supplies. There is always the sound of a printing machine or some tool humming from one of the neighbors' units, but it just becomes background noise after an hour. We usually get our tea from the stall right at the corner of R T Street, and that is where most of our planning happens while standing on the pavement. It is a gritty, hardworking sort of place, nothing like those polished offices you see in the newer parts of Mumbai.
