Ajay Kumar

I work out of the Ghaziabad Civil Court Compound, specifically at spot number 146. My name is Ajay Kumar. If you’ve ever been to the court compound, you know it’s a place where people are always moving fast. There are typists, lawyers, and people looking for help everywhere. My little corner at 146 is where I stay put. It’s a functional space. I have a lot of files and a typewriter that I still use for certain things because it’s reliable. The desk is old and has some scratches on the top. I don’t mind it. The compound can be very dusty and loud during the middle of the day, but you get used to it. I usually have a glass of water on my desk and a pile of documents that need my attention. There isn’t any fancy art on the walls, just a basic clock and maybe a calendar from last year that I forgot to take down. People come to me when they need things sorted out. I don't give them a big sales pitch. I just tell them what can be done and how long it will take. It’s a busy life but it’s honest work. I’ve been in this compound for years and I know most of the other people who work around here. We all just try to get through our day. Sometimes the monkeys around the court buildings get quite loud.
