G P Agrawal Co Chartered Accountants

Our office is in Station Para, which is in Badkulla, over in the Nadia district. We are basically at Sri G C Munshi’s place. Being near the station means we always hear the trains coming and going, which helps us keep track of time in a weird way. It is a very local vibe here in West Bengal. The office itself is quite modest. We have some heavy wooden desks and shelves packed with old books and folders. It smells a bit like old paper and ink inside. We mostly work with local folks from around the district. Since it is a small town, there isn't much rush, but we stay steady with our work. We don't have air conditioning, so we rely on the breeze from the windows and the old ceiling fans. Sometimes when it rains hard, the sound on the roof is so loud we can't hear each other talk. We’ve been here for years and the community knows us. We aren't trying to be some big city firm with shiny floors. We just do our job, have our tea, and close up when the sun goes down. It is a simple life and a simple way of working, but it has worked for us for a long time. We just take each day as it comes and handle the paperwork as best as we can. It’s home. We have our routine and that is what matters most to us.
