Shadab Zaidi

My name is Shadab Zaidi and I am based out of Po. Jaroda in Meerut. Being here in Uttar Pradesh, life moves at a different pace compared to the big cities. The address is 250104 if you’re looking at a map. It’s a quiet spot, mostly. I’ve been working from here for quite some time now. My day starts early, usually with the sun. Jaroda is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else’s business, which has its ups and downs. I don't have a fancy office building. It’s just a simple setup where I can get my work done without too much interference. The road outside can get a bit muddy when the monsoon hits, but that’s just how it is in this part of Meerut. I spend most of my time answering queries and managing the local logistics. It’s honest work. I don’t believe in those big polished speeches about goals and visions. I just want to make sure the job gets done right and that I can go home at the end of the day feeling like I did something useful. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the afternoons, so I take a break and sit outside for a bit. It’s a very local way of doing things. People stop by to chat or ask for help with something, and I try to be available. Meerut is a place with a lot of history, and Jaroda is just my small corner of it. I guess that's about it for me.
