Gondwana Research Foundation

Gondwana Research Foundation is basically just us working out of Lucknow. Our setup is over at Lodhi Chauraha in Sugamau Chinhat. It isn't a fancy place at all, mostly containing a few desks and chairs in a space we share with Ram Kumar. He’s been around for years and helps us keep things running. Most days are quiet here, though the traffic at the crossroads gets loud in the evenings. We spend our time looking into things that interest us, mainly research projects. Coming from the main city center is a bit of a trek, but the area suits us well enough. There’s a tea shop nearby where we usually go when we need a break from the paperwork. Sometimes the power goes out, so we just sit outside and talk. Having been here for a while, most people in the neighborhood know our faces. It is a very simple operation. We don’t have a big staff. Just a few of us trying to get things done every day. Once you get to the chauraha, the office address is easy to find. We try to keep things organized but sometimes papers pile up on the table. That is just how it goes when you stay busy with local work. We really appreciate the people around here. They make the long days easier. Most of our work is done on paper or on the one old computer we have in the corner.
