Pandit Pradeep Kumar

I am Pradeep Kumar. My home and work are located at 3173 in Sector 23, Sambhaji Nagar. It’s a residential area, so it’s mostly families living around me. I’ve lived in this house for many years. I decided to use the front portion of the building for my consultations and religious work. It’s nothing special to look at from the outside, just a regular gate and some plants I try to keep alive. Inside, it’s mostly just a carpet and some low tables. I like keeping things simple because that’s how I was raised. I don't use a computer much; I prefer writing things down by hand in my registers. You can hear the neighborhood kids playing outside in the afternoons. Sometimes it gets a bit noisy, but I don't mind it. It reminds me that life is moving along. People from Sector 23 and nearby areas often drop in without calling first. I don't mind that either. I usually have a pot of tea going. My routine is the same every day. I wake up, do my own prayers, and then open the door for anyone who needs me. It’s a humble way to live, but it suits me fine. Sambhaji Nagar is a nice place to be based. The people are friendly and we all look out for each other.
