Sarvesh Aggrawal

Living and working in Darya Ganj means you’re always around some kind of noise. My place is over at Kucha Lal Man on Netaji Subhash Marg 3500. It’s one of those spots that’s easy to miss if you aren't looking for the number on the door. I’ve spent years in this office dealing with all sorts of things that come across the desk. Sarvesh Aggrawal is just the name people look for when they have a problem or need some paperwork sorted out. The streets outside are usually packed with people and traffic, so once you step inside it feels a bit quieter, even if the walls are thin. My desk is usually buried under folders and notes I wrote to myself yesterday. I don’t go for the fancy decorations because that doesn’t help get the work finished. I mostly just sit here and get through the tasks one by one. Sometimes the electricity acts up or the internet slows down, but you just keep going. People from the neighborhood drop in frequently. They know where I am and that I don’t move around much. It's a small space, but it fits everything I need to run things properly. I’ve lived in this area long enough to know everyone’s face, even if I don’t always remember every name right away. It’s a busy life but it feels right being right in the middle of Netaji Subhash Marg.
