Ad Astra

We’ve been at B 33/H 2 on Mirza Ghalib Street for a while now. Most people know this part of Park Street is always busy. It gets noisy outside with the traffic, but inside we just focus on getting the work done. Ad Astra is a small operation. We don’t have fancy rugs or anything like that. Just some desks and computers. Sometimes the electricity acts up because it’s an older building. We just deal with it. People stop by looking for directions or sometimes they actually want to see us. Mirza Ghalib St has a lot of history. It feels like we are right in the middle of everything here. When we first moved in, the walls needed a lot of paint. We did most of it ourselves on a weekend. It isn’t perfect but it works for what we do. Lunch is usually something quick from one of the stalls nearby. You see the same faces every day around here. We know the guy who sells tea at the corner. He’s been there as long as we have. We don’t really do big meetings. If someone needs to talk, we just pull up a chair. It’s a simple setup. We try to keep things organized but sometimes the paperwork piles up. That’s just how it goes when you’re busy. Park Street is a good place to be, even with the crowds. We like being accessible to people who walk by.
