Our office is at B 5/3 in Phase 2. It’s a bit of an industrial setting here, so it’s not the prettiest place to look at, but it’s practical. There are lots of trucks and tempos moving around all day long. We have been here for a good amount of time. Inside, it’s mostly desks and some storage space for our samples and files. We don’t really go in for decorations or anything. It’s a working space, plain and simple. The noise from the nearby units is something you just stop hearing after a few weeks. We start early, usually before the heat gets too bad. The power goes out sometimes, so we have a small generator to keep the fans and the computers running. It’s a lot of physical work too, moving things around and making sure everything is where it should be. We eat lunch at our desks most days, or someone goes out to get some samosas from the stall at the corner. Phase 2 is a big area, so we often have to give people directions over the phone. 'Look for the big gate near the bend,' we tell them. It is a straightforward way of life here. We don't have any corporate slogans on the walls. Just the calendar and a few notes pinned up. It’s where we earn our living and we are okay with it being a bit rough around the edges.
