Sunanda Das

I’m Sunanda Das and I’m based at 51, Prabartak Palli. This is in the Belgharia area of Kolkata. It’s a typical North Kolkata neighborhood. The houses are close together and the lanes are full of people. My place is number 51. I’ve been here for quite some time now. It’s a busy house. I have a small area set aside for my work. It’s nothing special, just a desk and some shelves for my books and papers. The pin code is 700 056. Belgharia is a lively place with the railway station nearby. You can always hear the trains in the distance. I grew up in this city and I like the vibe here. My neighbors are always popping in to say hello. It’s hard to get bored. I keep my business simple. I don't go for big advertisements or anything like that. Word of mouth is how most people find me. The weather in Kolkata is mostly humid, so I have a big fan running all day. I do my work, have my tea, and keep things moving. It’s a very ordinary life but it works for me. Sometimes I walk down to the local market in the evenings. It’s a good way to clear my head. Prabartak Palli is a quiet enough pocket in a loud city. I’m happy to be right here at home doing my bit. It keeps me busy enough without any extra stress.
