Kalavathi Sundareshan

I’m located over in Venkateshpura, on the 6th Main Road of the KSRTC Layout. The house number is 73 A. It’s a residential part of Bangalore, so it’s not like being in a big commercial mall. I’ve lived here a long time and decided to run things from this location. People who know me just walk over. It’s very informal. I usually have the front door open unless it’s raining hard. My workspace is just a table and a few chairs in the front room. It’s quiet mostly, except for the occasional barking dog or someone selling vegetables on the street. I don’t have a big staff or anything like that. It’s just me. I handle everything from the phone calls to the actual work. It gets a bit lonely sometimes, but I prefer the peace. My family is usually in the back of the house, so you might hear the TV or someone cooking. It’s not a corporate setup at all. I don’t have fancy brochures or a lobby. If you come by, I’ll probably offer you some coffee while we talk. That’s how I like to do things. It’s more personal that way. I’ve been doing this for years now, and the neighbors all know what I do. It’s a steady way to live. Not much changes from year to year, which is fine with me.
