I live and work at DA 114, Sector I, over in Salt Lake, Calcutta. This part of the city has always been home to me. Salt Lake is laid out in blocks, so finding my place isn't too hard if you know the sector. It's a quiet neighborhood with a lot of trees and parks nearby. I don't run a big company with a lot of noise. It is just me here, doing my thing. Most of the people I talk to are from around the area or have heard about me from a friend. Calcutta can be a chaotic place, but Sector I stays fairly calm. I spend my mornings reading and then get to work. I don’t go for having a lot of fancy equipment or a big front desk. My setup is very basic. Just a room with a table and a chair where I can think and get things finished. People sometimes stop by in the afternoon when the heat isn't too bad. We might have some tea and talk about what needs to be done. It’s a very local way of doing things. I’ve been here long enough that I know most of the people on my street. I don't feel the need to move to a big office downtown. Everything I need is right here in India. It is just an honest, simple way to make a living in a city I love.
