All India Radio

This office is tucked away in Tagore Garden Extension, specifically at E 212 25. It’s a New Delhi neighborhood that feels pretty lived-in. We don’t have a big glass front or anything like that. It’s more of a regular building where the work happens. Dealing with radio stuff means there’s always something to fix or a schedule to update. The morning routine is pretty much the same every day—get in, get the machines going, and see what needs attention. The neighborhood is fairly quiet compared to the main city center, which helps when you’re trying to concentrate on the technical tasks. Sometimes the local vendors come by with snacks, and that’s usually the highlight of the afternoon for us. We have some old desks that have seen better days, but they still hold up. It’s not about having a fancy interior; it’s about getting the broadcast details right. We’ve got a small team here. Most of us live nearby, so the commute isn't too bad unless the weather is really messy. There’s a lot of history in these walls, even if it looks like a standard office from the outside. We just keep our heads down and do the work. It’s a practical place for a practical job. No one here is trying to impress anyone with big words. We just like that the equipment works and the lights stay on. It’s how things go here in Tagore Garden and we wouldn't have it any other way.
