Angha Kulkarni

I have been working from this space in Somwar Peth for quite a long time now. Kolhapur is a very busy city, and this specific area is no different. My name is Angha Kulkarni and this is where I spend the majority of my days. The building itself is a bit on the older side, which gives it some character, I think. There is always someone coming or going through the front door. I tend to keep my desk fairly cluttered with various books and handwritten notes. It is really hard to stay perfectly tidy when there is so much to get through every single day. People often stop by to ask for directions because the little streets around here can be quite confusing if you are not a local. I usually just tell them to look for the main landmarks nearby. It is quiet enough inside, except for when a loud scooter zooms by on the street. I don't really have a big team or anything, it is mostly just me handling things. I take care of everything from the cleaning to the actual daily work. It is a lot of responsibility, but I actually prefer it that way. Sometimes I take a small break and walk down the street to get some snacks. The local shop owners all know me by now. It is a nice place to be, even when it gets crowded during the big festivals. Being in Somwar Peth feels like home.
