Nagalakshmi Kandukoori

My place is at 16-2-146/24/9 in Dayanand Nagar, which is part of the Malakpet area in Hyderabad. I’ve been here for a while now, and Nagalakshmi Kandukoori is the name I use for all my business dealings. The neighborhood is pretty crowded, with houses and small businesses all built close together. It can be hard to find the right house number if you aren't looking closely at the gates. I mostly work from a small room at the front of the house that I’ve turned into an office. It’s got a big table and a couple of old cupboards where I keep all the files and supplies. I don't really have a big staff, so I handle the phone calls and the cleaning myself. In the afternoons, it gets quite warm, and the street outside usually has kids playing or people selling vegetables from carts. It’s a very normal, everyday kind of life here. I don't try to make things sound more impressive than they are; it’s just a local spot where I do my work and try to be helpful to anyone who reaches out. Sometimes I get behind on the filing, but I eventually catch up on the weekends when it’s quieter. Being in Hyderabad means dealing with the heat and the busy city life, but I’m used to it by now. It’s a simple setup that works for me and the people I help out.
