We are set up on the second floor at 35 Sarat Bose Lane, specifically the Lp24/8 spot near Chayanika Math Para. It’s quite close to the airport, so you can hear the planes taking off if it’s a quiet night, though it’s rarely quiet around here. The stairs up to the second floor are a little steep, and the light in the hallway flickers sometimes, but we’ve lived with it for a long time. Being in P.S. Airport means it’s a busy district. The office itself is just a few rooms filled with boxes and some old desks we got years ago. We have a small balcony where someone usually goes to take a phone call or just get a bit of air. Sarat Bose Lane is one of those streets where everyone knows everyone’s business, which has its good and bad sides. We get a lot of dust from the road, so we are always wiping down the computer screens. There’s a small shop downstairs that sells biscuits and matches, which is handy. Most days are just us sitting around, typing away or sorting through files. It’s not the kind of place that would impress a businessman, but it works for us. We have a clock on the wall that hasn't told the right time in three years, but nobody bothers to fix it since we all have our phones anyway. It keeps things simple for everyone.
