Working out of B 7 in Tis Hazari means we’re right in the middle of all the legal hustle. If you’ve ever been to the courts here, you know it’s a world of its own with people everywhere and stacks of paper as high as the ceiling. Our little space is where we try to make sense of it all. It’s usually pretty crowded, and the overhead fans don’t do much against the Delhi humidity, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. We spend our days dealing with various documents and helping people navigate the chaos of the court complex. It’s not a fancy job, and we don’t have a big office with leather chairs. We have wooden desks that have seen better days and a lot of tea cups sitting around. The noise from the corridors is constant, but it becomes like background music after a while. We know the tea sellers and the other folks around the B block quite well. It’s a community of people just trying to get through the day’s work. We don’t make any big promises; we just do the paperwork and the filing as best as we can. Sometimes things move slowly in Tis Hazari, and you just have to be patient. We’ve been here a long time at B 7, and we’ll probably be here for many more, just doing what we do.
