Poona University

The office here in Pimpri is where a lot of the administrative stuff for the university happens. It is located at Pune 411 018, and it’s usually pretty quiet until the admission season starts. We spend a lot of time filing papers and answering phones that never seem to stop ringing once the results are out. The building itself is older, with high ceilings and those big windows that let in a lot of light during the afternoons. It gets a bit warm in the summer, so we keep the fans going at full speed. People come here looking for all sorts of documents, like transcripts or verification letters. We have a small desk near the entrance where we try to guide everyone. It’s not always easy keeping track of everything, especially with so many departments involved. Sometimes the internet goes slow, and we have to wait for the systems to catch up. Most of the staff has been working here for years, so we’ve seen plenty of students come and go. We usually eat our lunch together in the small back room. There’s a lot of history in these walls, even if the paint is peeling a bit in the corners. It is just a regular workplace doing its best to stay on top of the mountain of paperwork that comes with running a big institution like this one in Pune.
