Diwan & Co.

Diwan & Co. has been sitting here in Gali No-2 for a good while now. If you head down into Muslim Ganj and look for Shivala Colony, you will find us pretty easily. The street is usually narrow and gets a bit crowded when the delivery vans try to squeeze through, but that is just how things go around here. We open up the shutters every morning and start checking what came in the day before. It is not a very big operation, just a few of us making sure everything is in its place. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the ceiling fan makes a bit of a clicking noise when it is on the highest setting, but it keeps the air moving. We spend a lot of time on the phone or talking to people who walk in with questions. It is mostly regular work, nothing too flashy. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to say hello or ask about the weather. We try to keep things organized but when it gets busy, papers end up everywhere on the desks. We have seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years, though our corner stays mostly the same. We just keep our heads down and handle the daily tasks as they come. It is about getting the job done and making sure we can close up on time to get home. That is pretty much our life here.
