Zakir Hussain

Zakir Hussain is located at 9-A in Imliwala Phatak, right in Kidwai Nagar. If you know the Imli Phatak area, you know it gets very crowded when the train crossing is closed. My place is right in the middle of all that activity. I have been working here for quite a while, and I’ve seen the area change a lot with the new roads and flyovers. My work day usually starts around nine. It’s a practical space I have, filled with the tools and things I need for my daily jobs. I don’t have any fancy decorations or a big reception area. It is just a place where work happens. Many of my clients are people who have been coming to me for years. We usually have a bit of a talk about family or how the city is changing before we get down to business. The dust from the road can be a bit much sometimes, so I’m always cleaning the desk. It’s a loud area with the trains and the horns, but you get used to it after a few weeks. I prefer being here where the action is rather than some quiet office park. It feels more real. I just focus on what needs to be done each day and go home when the sun goes down. It’s a decent life and I am happy to be working in this neighborhood.
