I am based out of Gunfoundary in the Abids area, specifically at H No 5-9-750. Abids is such a busy, central part of Hyderabad that there is never a dull moment. My place is right in the thick of it. Gunfoundary has that old-school charm that you don't find in the newer parts of the city. I’ve been here for a while now, and I’ve gotten used to the constant hum of the city outside my window. The office itself is pretty straightforward. I have a desk, some chairs for when people visit, and a lot of notebooks. I am a big fan of writing things down by hand rather than just typing everything. It feels more real that way. The building is an older one, so the walls are thick and the ceilings are high, which helps keep it cool when the sun is beating down on the streets. Getting here can be a bit of a challenge with the traffic, but once you are inside, it feels like a different world. I don't go in for all the corporate jargon. I just prefer to keep things simple and honest. I usually have some tea around if anyone drops by. It is just a normal place where I do my work and try to stay productive amidst the chaos of Abids. It is not fancy, but it gets the job done.
