Indian Air Force

This particular spot for the Indian Air Force is at P 21-A on Bolton Road, right in the Officers' Quarters in Mudfort, Secunderabad. It’s a specific part of the base where life follows a pretty set routine. Living and working around the quarters means you get used to the sounds of the base and the way things are run. It’s not like a normal office in the city; there’s a certain way we do things here that has been the same for a long time. The address in Secunderabad is 500003 and it gets quite warm here in the afternoons. We spend our time managing the day-to-day needs of the people living in this section. There is paperwork to handle and maintenance issues that come up in the quarters that need fixing. We aren't doing the flying here; we are the ones making sure the living side of things is sorted out for those who do. The roads around Mudfort are usually well-kept but it can feel a bit isolated from the rest of the city sometimes. We go about our business, follow the regulations, and keep the quarters in order. It’s a steady life and we are just one small piece of the bigger operation they have running across the country. Sometimes we have to handle supplies or deal with the local weather affecting the buildings, but it's all part of the daily schedule.
