Avijit Majumdar

My place is in Amarabati Apartment, right on the Budge Budge Trunk Road in Maheshtala. It’s a busy area with a lot of trucks going past all the time. I’ve been working from here for a good while. It’s a simple setup. I have a desk, a computer, and a lot of notebooks where I scribble things down so I don't forget them. Being in Maheshtala means I’m close to a lot of things, but the traffic on the trunk road can be a real pain. The apartment is quiet enough once you close the windows. I mostly work by myself, though sometimes people drop by to talk. It’s not a big company or anything. Just me, Avijit Majumdar, doing what I do. I spend a lot of my morning just catching up on emails and checking what needs to be done. I usually eat lunch at my desk, which my wife says is a bad habit. The building is okay, the neighbors are mostly families so it feels pretty safe. I’ve got some plants on the windowsill that I forget to water. Sometimes I go for a walk down the road just to get some air, though it’s pretty dusty. It’s a straightforward life. No big meetings, no fancy titles. I just get the work done and that’s about it. It suits me fine. Some days are more productive than others, but I try to keep at it. I keep my files organized in old plastic folders.
