Jyoti Maheshwari

I live and work out of Sector 16 in Vasundhra, specifically at house number 266. It is a decent neighborhood, though it has become much more crowded over the last few years. My space is a bit of a mix between a home and an office, which means there is always something going on. I spend a lot of my time at my desk, looking out the window at the street below. You get to know the patterns of the neighborhood when you stay in one place this long—the time the milkman comes, when the kids head to school, and when the evening rush starts. The building itself is sturdy, but it has its quirks, like the light switch that only works if you hit it just right. I don't have a team of people working for me, so everything that happens here is my responsibility. Whether it is sorting out the mail or dealing with clients, I do it all myself. It is a very direct and simple way to live. I don't have any interest in making the place look like a corporate headquarters. I prefer the comfortable, lived-in feel of a real space. Sector 16 is a good location because I can get most things I need just by walking a couple of blocks. I have my routine down to a science now, and I find that it keeps me grounded. It’s just a normal life in a normal part of Vasundhra.
