Ratna Bhargavan Associates

Fort is a hectic place to work but we have been here at P M Road for years. Our office numbers are 22, 23, and 17. It sounds confusing but we just use the space we have. The buildings here have high ceilings and those old wooden doors that creak. You can hear the city outside all day. Horns honking and people shouting. We don't have a modern glass office. It’s more about heavy desks and folders everywhere. Ratna Bhargavan Associates is just a group of us trying to keep up with the paperwork. We drink a lot of coffee from the guy on the corner. The walk from the station is always a bit of a squeeze through the crowds. Some days the lift doesn't work so we take the stairs. It keeps us fit I guess. We have neighbors who have been in the same building as long as we have. We talk about the weather or the cricket scores while waiting for the mail. There isn't any fancy decor here. Just some calendars on the wall and a few old photos. We just do the work that needs doing. Sometimes it’s quiet and sometimes it is a mess of deadlines. Most of our clients have been coming to us for a decade. They know where to find us in this maze of streets. It is just home for us. We wouldn't want to be anywhere else really. The history of this place matters to us even if the walls are peeling a bit.
