Hasham Manzil is the building where we work, located in Gulganjikoppa. It’s on Jail Road in Dharwad, Karnataka. It’s a sturdy old building that has been around for a long time. We have our setup here and it serves us well. The rooms are a bit high-ceilinged, which helps keep things cool. We don't have air conditioning, so we rely on the breeze coming through the windows. Jail Road can be quite busy during the day with all the vehicles and people walking by. Our desks are pushed up against the walls to leave space in the middle for moving around. We have a lot of old ledgers and papers stacked on the top shelves that we keep meaning to clear out. The light in the afternoon is quite bright, so we sometimes have to move the monitors to see clearly. Dharwad is a nice town, and being in this neighborhood feels very connected to the local life. Most of the staff live nearby, so the commute isn't too bad. We usually start the day with a cup of coffee and a quick chat about what’s on the schedule. It’s not a fancy life, but it’s a solid place to get work done. We’ve become part of the routine of this street over the years. We just keep doing our thing every day.
