Deepak Kohli

You can usually find Deepak Kohli over at Patiala House Courts, specifically in spots 24 and 25. It’s a busy place with people rushing around all day long. Being at the courts means there is never a dull moment. The space isn't huge, but it fits what’s needed for the day-to-day work. There are always stacks of files around and the smell of old paper. It’s a very public environment, so there isn't much privacy, but that's just how the court system works. I spend a lot of time talking to different people and trying to keep track of various schedules. It’s not a polished office with glass walls or anything like that. It’s more of a functional spot where things happen fast. Sometimes it’s hard to find a place to sit if it’s a particularly busy morning. I’ve been around these courts for a while, so I know my way around the corridors. People come in with all sorts of issues, and I just try to handle my part of it. It’s a bit of a grind, to be honest. But it’s the work I chose. No one here is trying to impress anyone with fancy decorations. We just deal with the cases and the paperwork as they come. It’s a gritty, real kind of place to work every day. It’s loud and hectic, but we manage to get through it.
