Lehman Brothers

Our office for Lehman Brothers is over in Bhandup East, tucked away in the Kamalsagar building in Nahur. It’s a bit of a trek if you aren't living on the Central Line, but for us, it works out fine. The area is a mix of old industrial sheds and new apartment blocks coming up everywhere. Our space on the 264 side of the building is pretty basic. We have some wooden desks, a few chairs that have seen better days, and a corner where we keep the water cooler and the printer. It’s not the kind of place you see in movies about big finance. It’s more like a local back-office where we handle the paperwork. The walls are a bit plain and maybe they need a fresh coat of paint, but it doesn't really affect the work we do. There’s a small balcony where we sometimes stand to get some air, though you mostly just see the local trains passing by in the distance. We have a small routine going where one of us brings snacks for the group in the afternoon. It keeps the mood light when there is a lot of data entry to finish. Most of the people around here are regulars who have lived in Bhandup their whole lives. We fit right in with the local vibe, just trying to stay on top of our daily chores and get the filing done before the weekend starts.
