Science City

Out in Jangalpara Bazar, you have to look for Krishnadhan Das’s place to find us. We are located in the Hooghly district, and it is a bit of a journey if you are coming from the main city. It is a village area, so things move a little slower here. We call the place Science City, though it is much smaller than the name suggests. It is more like a hub for the local folks. We have a simple room where we keep our things and do our daily tasks. You can find us near the post office. The building is old but it is sturdy enough. We spend a lot of time talking to people who stop by from the market nearby. There is usually a pot of tea on somewhere in the back. Since we are via Mosat, we get a lot of people passing through who might need help with something. It is a very local operation. We don’t have a website or anything like that. Most people just know us by word of mouth in the village. The floors are concrete and we have a few old wooden chairs for our visitors. It gets a bit dark inside when the power goes out, which happens sometimes in this area. We just light a lamp and keep going with whatever we were doing. It is an honest way to spend the day. We are just part of the community here in Jangalpara. It is not fancy, but it is ours.
