Sandip Bhoyar

I run my business out of the village of Tarka, which is in the Gontatitari Tehsil. It’s a small place, and most people here know me just as Sandip. I don't have a big flashy office or a team of people. It’s mostly just me doing the work every day. My workspace is part of where I live, so the line between home and work is pretty thin. I usually start the day by checking what needs to be done and then heading out to meet people in the village. Tarka is a quiet spot, and you can see the fields stretching out in every direction. The work involves a lot of traveling around the tehsil, sometimes on a bike and sometimes on foot. I handle various local tasks and help people get what they need. It’s not the kind of job where you sit at a desk all day. I’m usually out in the sun or talking to neighbors about their requirements. The seasons really change how things work here; when harvest time comes, everyone is busy and I am too. In the monsoon, things slow down because the roads get muddy and hard to cross. I just keep a simple record of my work and try to stay on top of things. It’s a humble way to make a living, but I like being my own boss in my own village.
