Asha Thakur

If you go to 1024 Sector 21, you’ll find where Asha Thakur is based. It’s a quiet residential area, the kind of place where you can hear the birds in the trees and the sound of someone’s radio from a few houses down. It isn't a big commercial building or a busy storefront with neon lights. It’s much more low-key than that. The gate at 1024 has a slight squeak when you open it, and the small garden out front usually has some seasonal flowers growing. We spend most of the day inside, working away while the neighborhood goes about its business. Sector 21 is one of those peaceful sectors where people actually walk their dogs in the evening. There’s a small desk near the window that gets the best light in the morning, which is where most of the thinking and planning happens. It’s a very personal sort of setup. We don't have a team of people running around in suits. It’s just a quiet spot in a quiet street. Sometimes the neighbors stop by to say hello or to ask about the mail. It’s an honest way to work, without all the noise and distraction of a city center. We keep the files organized in a simple cabinet and make sure the phone is always nearby. It’s just a regular house in Sector 21 that serves as our base, and that suits the way we do things just fine.
