Sree Dhiyaa Associates

Out here at No. 126/3d2 in Rangasamduram Village, things are a lot different than in the city. We are located right behind the Sarovodhaya Valparai Road. It’s a bit of a drive to get here, but the air is definitely clearer. Sree Dhiyaa Associates operates out of a simple building that fits in with the rest of the village. We don't have much in the way of neighbors, mostly just open space and the road that leads up toward the hills. The mornings are usually the best part of the day because it’s cool and quiet before the buses start rumbling past. Our office inside is just a couple of rooms with some basic furniture and a small area where we keep the kettle. We do a lot of our work with people from the surrounding areas, so there’s often someone dropping by to ask a question or drop off a folder. It’s not the kind of place where people wear suits. Most of us just wear whatever is comfortable for the weather. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour or two, and we just sit outside on the porch until it comes back on. It’s a slow pace of life, but we still manage to get everything sorted. We like the fact that we aren't stuck in a high-rise building somewhere. It feels more real being out here where you can see the trees.
