Divya Bhaskar

Our place is tucked away in Shiv Shakti Society, specifically at 6 B. It is right behind Geetanjali Society on Pij Road here in Nadiad. The zip code is 387002 if you are looking it up on a map. Most days are pretty quiet around here, which is nice because it lets us focus on the work at hand. We have a small sign out front, but it is easy to miss if you are driving too fast down the road. The office itself is nothing special to look at. We have a couple of desks, some old chairs that have seen better days, and a shelf full of old files that probably need to be shredded soon. The floor is that old-fashioned tile that stays cool even when the sun is beating down on the roof. We usually have the radio playing low in the background, mostly just for some noise so it does not feel too silent. Sometimes the neighbor’s dog starts barking at delivery bikes, and that is our cue that it is probably around lunchtime. We do our work, talk to the people who stop by, and try to keep things organized. It is a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are in the room at once, but we make it work. Nadiad is a good place to be based, especially on this side of town where things feel a bit more relaxed than the main market area.
