Novel

Our office is in Dombivli, which is always a busy place to be. We’re located in Shri Sneh Apartment, right on M Phule Road in the Aruno Daya Society. Being near Swami Vivekanand means there’s always a lot of students and parents moving around, especially in the mornings. Our unit is 101, so we’re on the first floor. This makes it easy for people to just walk up the stairs without waiting for a lift. The room is usually filled with the sound of the ceiling fans and the traffic outside. It’s a fairly basic setup with a few desks, some chairs for visitors, and a lot of papers scattered about. Dombivli can get very crowded, especially near the station. We’re glad to be a little bit away from that main crush, though it’s still quite lively here. We handle various local tasks and administrative work throughout the day. There isn’t a fancy lobby or any corporate trimmings. It is just a door with our name on it. Most of us have lived in Maharashtra all our lives. We’re used to the local pace and the way things work here. We usually take a break in the afternoon when it gets a bit quiet on the street. It’s a practical, no-nonsense kind of place. We’ve been part of this society for a while now. Everyone knows us as the folks in room 101. It’s just a regular local business doing its part every day.
