Amrita Chakraborty

I have been living and working here at Sohini Apt for a long time. It is D6, right in the middle of Golf Green. If you know where Doordarshan Bhavan is, we are very close to that building. It is a quiet area, mostly. My work happens right here at my desk in the spare room. I do not have a big staff or a fancy entrance for people to walk through. It is just me, Amrita Chakraborty, doing what I know how to do best. Sometimes the neighbors’ kids are playing outside in the hallway and it gets a bit noisy, but I do not mind it much. It feels like home because it actually is home. I started doing this because I wanted to work on my own terms. I was tired of commuting for hours in the heat every single day. Now, I just wake up, have my tea, and get straight to it. People often call me and ask if I can help with this or that. I try to say yes if I have the time and the energy. I am not a big company with a board of directors. I am just one person trying to stay busy and pay the bills. The apartment is small, but it fits everything I need to get the job done. Sometimes I lose track of time and it is dark outside before I even realize the day is over.
