Piyush Rana

I'm Piyush Rana and you can find me down in the basement at 19 Manimajra. It might sound a bit tucked away, and it is, but it stays cool in the summer which is a big plus. I’ve been working out of this basement for a few years now. I didn't need a big storefront with a window, so this space was perfect for me. It’s mostly just shelves and my workspace. I have a small light over my desk because it can get a little dim down here if the main lights aren't all on. I don’t mind the quiet; it helps me focus on what I'm doing. Most people who come to see me are regulars who know exactly where the entrance is. It’s a bit of a steep set of stairs, so you have to watch your step. I keep a radio playing in the background most of the time just to have some noise. I do everything myself here, from cleaning the floor to handling all the paperwork. It’s a one-man show, really. I like the independence of it. I don't have to answer to anyone else. Manimajra is my home and I like having my business right here. It’s nothing fancy, just a basement where I get my work done day in and day out. If the door is unlocked, I’m probably inside somewhere or just stepped out for a tea break.
