M. D. Saud

M. D. Saud is out at Gala No. 12 in the Gulshan Compound, right off Link Road in Goregaon West. It’s a typical compound setup, so it’s a bit tucked away from the main road noise, though you can still hear the heavy traffic from the Link Road if you listen. The gala itself is just a basic workspace. It’s got high ceilings and enough room for us to do our daily tasks. We don’t have a lot of fancy furniture or decorations on the walls. It’s mostly just tools, materials, and the things we need to get through the workday. Being in Goregaon West is convenient, but the compound can get a bit muddy during the monsoon season. We just put on our boots and keep going. We aren’t a huge corporation with different departments. It’s just a small group of us here. We spend most of our time actually working with our hands rather than sitting in meetings. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, though we do keep an eye on the clock to make sure we’re getting things done on time. We’ve seen the area around Link Road grow and change, with more malls and big buildings, but our compound stays pretty much the same. It’s a reliable place to work. We show up, we do the job, and we don't try to make it sound like anything more than it is.
