Krishna Pal Mavi

Down at Subhash Chowk in Laxmi Nagar, there is always something going on. Our place is at F 17, which is right in the middle of all that activity. Krishna Pal Mavi is the name we use, and we’ve been operating out of this unit for a while. Finding us can be a little tricky because the signs in Laxmi Nagar are all piled on top of each other, but once you find F 17, you’re there. The space inside is pretty functional. We have some benches and a main work table where most of the stuff happens. It’s not a place where you’ll find fancy carpets or expensive paintings on the walls. It’s more of a practical environment where we get things done. The traffic around the chowk can be a nightmare in the evenings, so we usually try to wrap up before the worst of it hits. We have a small crew and we all know our roles pretty well. There is a lot of shouting from the street vendors outside, which just becomes background noise after a while. We keep a pot of water in the corner and a small radio that usually plays some old songs. It is a humble setup, but it’s ours. We don't try to be anything we aren't. If you come by, you'll probably find us busy with some task or talking to a neighbor about the weather or the local news. We just keep at it day after day.
