My place is at Plot 49/50 in the Marri Ram Reddy Colony. The address says Hyderabad, Uttar Pradesh, which is a bit of a weird mix, but that's what's on the papers. I’ve been working from this colony for a while now. It’s a residential area, so it stays pretty quiet most of the time. I don't have a big shopfront or anything like that. It’s just a space where I can sit down and get my work done without too many distractions. I started this on my own because I wanted to see if I could make it work. It hasn't always been easy. There were times when I thought about quitting and getting a regular job, but I stuck with it. I do everything from answering the phone to packing things up. It’s a one-person show most of the time. I don't have any fancy degrees or big titles. I just learned as I went along. My neighbors are good people, and we all look out for each other. I try to keep my overheads low so I don't have to worry too much about the bills. It’s not a perfect business, and I make mistakes sometimes. But I always try to fix them. I’m just here every day, trying to make a go of it in Marri Ram Reddy Colony. Anyway, it keeps me busy.
