Mirza Parwez

My name is Mirza Parwez and you can find me in Gulbarga. I stay at Bilalabad Colony, which is near the Bombay Hotel. I am usually staying with Babu Miyan. It is a busy colony and everyone knows everyone else’s business. Gulbarga gets very hot in the summer, so we usually do most of our work in the early mornings or late evenings. I have my mobile number listed, 09342870770, because people often need to reach me when I’m out. I don’t have a big office with air conditioning. It’s just a room where I keep my things and handle my work. I have been here for a good number of years now. Life moves at a different speed here compared to the big cities. We take our time with things. I don't like rushing just for the sake of it. If you come by, we can sit and talk over some tea. That is how most things get done around here anyway. I am not interested in making things look bigger than they are. I am just a local person doing my bit. It is a plain and simple way of working. Most of my day is spent talking to people and making sure my tasks are finished before the sun goes down. It’s honest and it works for me. I don’t need anything fancy, just a bit of steady work and good neighbors around me.
