Smriti Associates

Our little office for Smriti Associates is located in Bhargaw Colony, over in the Badgaon area. It isn't a large place, just enough room for a few desks, some filing cabinets, and a whole lot of paper. We spend most of our time staring at documents or talking on the phone with people who need help with their paperwork. The neighborhood is mostly residential, so it stays relatively calm compared to the center of town. You can usually hear the sound of the ceiling fan clicking or the occasional car passing by outside the window. We’ve got a few stacks of folders that have been sitting in the corner for ages, but we eventually get through them. It isn’t a fancy consultancy with expensive rugs. The chairs are a bit squeaky and the lighting is just okay. We do our best to stay organized, though some days the desk ends up covered in sticky notes and half-empty tea cups. People from the colony sometimes pop their heads in just to say hello or ask a quick question. We don't have a receptionist, so whoever is closest to the door usually looks up to see who it is. It’s a straightforward way to earn a living, and we like the familiarity of this spot. The walls are a plain off-white color and we haven't bothered putting up many pictures. We just focus on the files.
