Vastu Consultancy

Up here on the second floor at 240/1 Mahalaxmi Puram, things are usually pretty calm. Vastu Consultancy is basically just me and a few tools I use to look at floor plans and house maps. I’ve been in Mahalaxmi Puram for a long time, and I like this neighborhood because it has a certain rhythm to it. People come by with their blueprints or just sketches they’ve drawn on a piece of paper, asking where the kitchen should go or which way the main door should face. It’s interesting work because every house is different and every family has their own way of living. The stairs up to the second floor can be a bit of a climb if you aren’t used to it, but it’s worth it for the bit of peace we get away from the street noise. I have some old books on the shelf and a lot of paper everywhere. It’s not the most organized looking place, but I know where everything is. Most of the people who visit are locals from around here or maybe from the next block over. We sit down, have some water, and just talk through what they’re looking for in their home layout. There’s no pressure or anything like that. I just tell them what I think based on what I’ve learned over the years. It’s a simple life, and I enjoy the quiet afternoons here when the sun hits the balcony just right and the city feels far away.
