Siddarth Villa is where we do everything. It’s tucked away in Samrajpura Village, right on the 7th Cross. To get here, you have to follow the Amba Bhavani Temple Road. It’s a quiet area mostly, except when there’s a festival at the temple. Then the bells and the music carry all the way to our door. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a while. The building isn't huge, but it fits us fine. Most mornings start with unlocking the main gate and checking what needs to get done. We are close to the Vidyaranyapura Post, so the mail usually arrives by midday. The walls here are a bit old, and the fans make a clicking sound if you turn them on too high. We spend our time working on the floor or at the old wooden tables. There is a small garden outside where we take breaks. The local kids run past the windows in the afternoon on their way home from school. It’s a simple setup at the villa. We don’t have fancy signs or anything. People just know where we are. We handle the daily tasks, answer the messages, and try to keep the place tidy, though it gets cluttered with stuff quickly. It’s homey in a way. You get used to the rhythm of the village and the way the shadows move across the porch every evening.
