Podati Prashanthi

I’m Podati Prashanthi, and my address is H.No.3-62/4 in Taranagar. This is out in Lingampally, Hyderabad, pincode 500019. If you know the area, you know it’s right near the railway station and all the shops. Taranagar is a busy little pocket. The house is where I do all my work. It’s not a fancy office suite in a tech park. It’s just a regular room with a desk. The house number has that slash in it, which sometimes confuses the postman, but we usually get our mail eventually. Lingampally has changed a lot lately, with so many people moving out this way. It used to be much quieter. Now there’s always something going on. I don’t have a big mission or a list of goals on the wall. I just wake up, have some tea, and start working on whatever needs doing. It’s a very normal, everyday kind of life. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour or two in the afternoon, so I just take a break then. We don't try to sound more important than we are. We are just local folks doing our job in 500019. It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s honest work. I like being my own boss and having my own space here in Taranagar to get things done. It feels good to be part of the community here.
