Abida Qureshi

My place is located at 41578, 1st floor, right across from the telephone exchange. It’s on the 2nd cross and 3rd main road in the 1st block of R T Nagar. Getting here can be a bit tricky if you don't know the turns, but the exchange is a big landmark that helps everyone find the way. The office is on the first floor, so you have to walk up the narrow stairs to reach the door. It’s a quiet enough spot once you get inside and shut the door. I spend a lot of my time here dealing with paperwork and the daily tasks that come with running things in Mumbai Central. The view from the window is mostly the street and people heading toward the exchange for their own errands. It isn't a large corporate setup, just a practical space where I get my work done every day. Sometimes it gets a bit cluttered with files and letters, but I know where everything is. The neighborhood has a mix of homes and small offices, so it feels very lived in and comfortable. I usually start the day with a cup of tea while looking at the schedule. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but they've seen a lot of work over the last few years. People stop by when they have business to settle, and we keep things pretty straightforward and honest. It’s just me and the usual routine.
