Naveenferrao

Our place is a bit different because we are out at Pavoor Uliya, near the Adyar Post. It’s called Island House for a reason, being right there in Mangalore. It’s not like being in the middle of a city where everything is paved and crowded. We have to deal with the water and the weather more than most people do. Naveenferrao is basically run from here. It is a simple building, nothing fancy at all. We spend a lot of our time just keeping the place up and making sure the work gets done between the tides. It can be quite peaceful when the sun goes down, but during the day, we are usually busy with one thing or another. We don't have a lot of neighbors close by, so we have to be pretty self-reliant. If something breaks, we usually fix it ourselves. The address says Mangalore, but it feels like its own world out here sometimes. We don't have a big marketing team or anyone to write fancy descriptions for us. We just tell people where we are and what we're doing. Some days the humidity is high and the work feels a bit slower, but we stay at it. It’s a practical way to live and work. We don't need much else besides a roof that doesn't leak and enough space to handle our daily chores. We just stay here and work.
