Jayeeta Sarkar

Working out of Bharatnagar in Siliguri is interesting because of how close we are to the Kalibari. Jayeeta Sarkar is based right here, sharing space with Bijan Sarkar. It’s a busy little area. You can hear the bells from the temple sometimes, which is actually quite nice when things get stressful. Siliguri weather is unpredictable, so we always have umbrellas by the door. The office is really just a room with enough space for our files and a couple of laptops. It’s not a place where you’ll find fancy decor. We have some old curtains and a clock that’s five minutes fast. We don’t bother fixing it because we’re used to it now. Being in Darjeeling district means we get some beautiful days, but mostly we are just focused on the work at hand. People from the neighborhood often drop by just to say hello or ask about something local. We don't mind. It’s part of being in a place like Bharatnagar. The C/O Bijan Sarkar part of the address helps people find us because he’s well known around here. We don't have a big marketing budget or a website team. We just do our thing, answer the phone, and try to stay organized. The floor gets a bit dusty because of the road construction nearby, but we sweep it out every morning before we start. We have an old rug under the main table that has seen better days, but it's comfortable enough.
