Nirma University Of Science And Technology Ahmedabad

It’s a bit funny because the name says Ahmedabad but we are actually sitting here at 37 Lgnagar Society in the Nizampura area of Vadodara. Most people get a bit confused by that when they first look at our mail. I’ve lived in Vadodara for years, so working here in 390002 is pretty convenient for my commute. The office is tucked away in the society, so it’s not right on the main noisy road, which is nice when you’re trying to concentrate on science and technology stuff. We have a lot of books and papers piled up on the desks. Sometimes the fans make a bit of a clicking sound, but you get used to it after a week or so. My desk faces the window, so I watch the neighbors coming and going from their houses in Lgnagar. It’s a Gujarat address through and through, especially when the local festivals start and the whole street gets busy. We just keep our heads down and handle the daily administrative bits. It’s not a flashy corporate setup like you see in the movies. It’s just us in an old building, making sure the records are right and the students get what they need. Sometimes the chai stall down the street is the highlight of the afternoon. We aren't trying to be anything we aren't, just people working in Vadodara under the Nirma University of Science and Technology name. It’s homey in a weird way, even with all the paperwork.
