My place is over at 12 Gnanajyothi Nagar, on the 5th Cross in Mallathhalli. It’s a residential area mostly, so it’s much quieter than the center of town. I like it here because I can actually hear myself think without the constant honking of cars. I’ve lived and worked in this area for a few years now. The 5th Cross is a nice little street where everyone knows everyone. My setup is quite modest. It’s just a room I’ve converted so I can get my work done without too many distractions. I usually start my day early with a cup of coffee and look out at the street. Sometimes there are cows wandering past, or just the local vegetable sellers calling out. It’s a very local vibe. I don't have a big sign out front or anything like that. Most people who come here already know where I am. I do things at my own pace. I’m not interested in running some giant company with hundreds of employees. I just want to do my job well and have enough time to enjoy the evening with my friends. Mallathhalli has grown a lot recently, with more houses and shops popping up every month. But Gnanajyothi Nagar still feels like a tucked-away corner for now. If you’re coming from the main road, it’s just a few turns. It’s a bit of a maze if you don't know the turns, but you’ll find number 12. I’m usually around most days, just doing my thing.
