K V No.-2, C P E, Itarsi (M.P.)

Our address is 131, Ward No. 23, in the Gandhinagar area of Itarsi. It is part of the K V No.-2, C P E setup here in Madhya Pradesh. The house is a bit older, like most in this ward, but it stays cool enough in the summer. We are right in the middle of a residential street, so you see kids playing outside and neighbors chatting. It is not like a big city office at all. We have a couple of rooms set aside for our work. There are files everywhere and a few old wooden tables we use for desks. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour or two, so we just sit on the porch and wait. It is a slow pace of life but we get things done eventually. We don't have a sign out front or anything flashy. People who need to find us usually just ask someone on the street. It is that kind of place. We focus on the tasks at hand without making a big fuss about it. My brother helps out with the ledger and I handle the rest. We have been here for years and know everyone around. It is just a basic operation run by local people who care about their work. No big corporate rules here, just common sense and a bit of hard work every day to keep things moving.
