I’m based out in Ghaziabad, specifically in the Patel Nagar II area which is part of Nehru Nagar. It’s a bit of a quieter spot compared to the main city but it still has its own rhythm. My workspace is pretty simple, just what I need to get through the day. I’ve lived and worked around here for a long time, so I know the streets and the people quite well. There’s no big sign outside or a glass-walled office. It’s more of a personal setup where I handle my daily work. Sometimes the internet acts up or the power goes out, but that’s just life in Ghaziabad. I don’t really use fancy language to describe what I do. People usually find me through word of mouth or because they live nearby. My desk is usually covered in folders and random notes I’ve scribbled to myself. I spend a lot of time on the phone or sitting at my computer. It’s a one-man show mostly, or just a small group of us depending on the day. I like the fact that I don’t have to deal with the madness of central Delhi every morning. I can just walk in, sit down, and start working on whatever needs to be finished. It’s a plain, honest way to make a living and I’m quite alright with that. No frills at all, just me and my work in Patel Nagar.
