Monika Gupta

I operate out of my place at 179 Sector 40 A Lane, inside the Sterling Cooperative Housing Society. It's a quiet neighborhood, which I really appreciate. My name is Monika Gupta, and this is where I spend most of my working hours. It’s not like a typical shop on a busy street. Being in a housing society means things are a bit more relaxed and personal. I’ve got my setup in one of the rooms, and it works out well for what I do. The neighbors are used to seeing people come and go occasionally. I’ve been part of this community for a while now. Most days involve a lot of planning and keeping track of different tasks on my list. Sometimes I take a break and walk around the society grounds just to clear my head. It’s a nice change from sitting at a desk all morning. I don’t use any fancy systems, just a notebook and my computer. It feels more like a home office than anything else. I try to stay on top of things, but like anyone else, I have days where the list seems too long. People know me around here, so they just drop by when they need something. It’s a very local way of doing things. I like the independence of working for myself in a place where I feel comfortable. It is a simple life and the work keeps me grounded.
