Amrita Chatterjee

My name is Amrita Chatterjee. My place of work is Flat-3, 3/1 North Purbachal Garden Road. It’s in the 700097 zip code area of Kolkata. This is a residential flat that I’ve converted into a working space. It feels very cozy, almost like you’re just visiting a friend’s house. I have the main room set up with my computer and all my files. There are curtains on the windows to keep the afternoon glare off the screen. It’s a quiet street for the most part, though you hear the neighborhood sounds—someone's TV, a dog barking, or the rain hitting the sunshades. I like working from here because it’s peaceful. I don't have to deal with the chaos of a main commercial hub. My neighbors are all families, so we keep the noise down. The flat has a small balcony where I keep a few potted plants. Sometimes I take my laptop out there if the weather is nice. The kitchen is right there, so I can make as much coffee as I need. It’s a very informal setup. I don’t wear a suit or anything like that. I just sit down and get to work. Most of my day is spent on the phone or typing away. It’s a simple life, and this little flat on North Purbachal Garden Road is the center of it all. It suits me perfectly and I wouldn't change it for a big office.
