Amit Sherawat

Being on Tis Hazari Main Road means we are always in the middle of the chaos. My name is Amit Sherawat and this is my workplace at Y 38. It’s a busy stretch of road, mostly because of the courts nearby. You see all sorts of people walking past the door every single minute. The office itself is quite old. The walls have that dusty look that comes from being near a main Delhi road for so long. We have a few wooden chairs for whoever drops by. I usually spend most of my day dealing with whatever comes across my desk. It’s mostly paperwork and talking to folks who need help with their various bits of business. There’s nothing corporate about how we run things here. If the tea man comes by, everything stops for five minutes. I like the energy of the street, even if the honking gets a bit much by the afternoon. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are. Usually, someone tells a friend, and they show up at the door. It’s a very simple way of doing things, but it has worked for us. The fan overhead makes a clicking sound, and the floor is a bit uneven, but this is home for the work week. Sometimes the chai wallah forgets my order, but he always comes back eventually. It’s those little things that make the day interesting.
