Oracle

If you find yourself in Vijayanagar, we are tucked away in Saraswathi Nagar at number 399. Bangalore 41 is a busy area, but this particular street stays somewhat calm compared to the main market area. The building is just a standard structure, and Oracle is basically the main thing going on here. We have some wooden chairs and a big table where we spread out everything we are working on. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but nobody really has the time to think about that right now. In the rainy season, the water tends to pool up near the entrance, so we have to be careful when coming in. Most days start with someone bringing in a packet of biscuits or some snacks to share. We don't have a fancy coffee machine, just a small kettle in the corner. The neighbors are mostly families, so you hear kids playing outside in the evenings. It’s a good spot because it’s close to the bus stand, making the commute easier for those of us who don't drive. We keep the doors open when the weather is nice to get some fresh air. It’s not the quietest place, but it has a good energy to it. We just focus on our work and try to keep things moving. There’s usually a lot of paperwork to sort through every week.
