Hdfc Bank Ltd

This branch is at 43-8-1/21 in Vizag. It’s a standard bank setup, nothing too crazy about it. When you walk in, you’ve got the security guard at the door and the rows of chairs where people sit and wait for their token numbers to be called. The air conditioning is usually blasting, which is a relief from the Vizag humidity outside. There is a constant sound of dot matrix printers going and the thud of rubber stamps on paper. We see all kinds of people here, from grandmothers checking their pensions to young folks trying to open their first accounts. The counters have that thick glass between us and the customers, and there are always little trays for pens that usually go missing. Behind the scenes, the desks are covered in folders and ledgers. We spend a lot of time looking at screens and counting out cash. It gets really busy on the first of the month, and the line can stretch out the door sometimes. We just try to get through the pile of work before the doors close at the end of the day. The windows are a bit high up so you can’t see much of the street, just the tops of the trees and the bright sky. It’s a steady rhythm of work that doesn’t change much from Monday to Friday. We’ve been here at this address for a long time serving the local crowd.
