Hotel Panchshil

Hotel Panchshil is located at 517, A/2, right near Shivaji Park. Being in the 416001 area means we get to see the park through all the different times of the year. Some mornings it is very quiet, and other times there is a lot of shouting and kids playing going on over there. We are just a simple building tucked away in this specific spot. The address is 517, A/2, and we have been here long enough that the paint has a few chips and the gate has its own personality when it opens. We spend our time doing the basic stuff, like checking the water and making sure the lights in the hallway are working properly. It is not a complicated business. We just stand here at our post and watch the day go by. The park brings a bit of green to the view, which is nice when the sun is beating down on the pavement. People often ask for directions because the numbering around here can be a bit confusing, but we just point them the right way. Our days are filled with the sound of the city and the smell of whatever the neighbors are cooking nearby. We don’t have fancy uniforms or a big lobby with statues. It is just a practical place to be if you find yourself in Shivaji Park. We keep the ledger on the desk and wait for the next person to walk through.
