My place is at House Number 66 in Arabo. It’s a small village area near Dhargal, and you have to come via Colvale to find us. It’s a quiet spot, away from all the noise of the main cities. I’ve been here a long time, and everyone around here knows the house. It’s not a big office or a fancy storefront. It’s just where I do my business and live my life. I handle things as they come in. Whether it’s paperwork or meeting people who need help with something, I just take it one step at a time. The garden around the house takes up some of my time too. People often stop by just to chat or ask for directions because the roads around Arabo can be a little confusing if you aren't from here. I don't have a big staff or a mission statement. It’s just me and a couple of others helping out when things get busy. We do what we say we’re going to do and don't make a big fuss about it. The pace of life is a bit slower out here, which I like. I’ve lived in Goa my whole life and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I just keep things simple, look after the property, and make sure whatever work is on the table gets finished by the end of the week. It’s a peaceful way to live and work.
