My place is in Sai Sadan, unit D 1, over in the Ratan Nagar area of Four Bungalow, Andheri West. It is a quiet enough corner of a very busy neighborhood. I have been here for some time now, and the building has that old-school Mumbai feel to it. It is not a big commercial office or a retail storefront. It is just where I do my work and handle my day-to-day business. The room is usually full of papers and personal things, and it feels more like a home than a workspace, which I prefer. Four Bungalows is a great place to be because everything you need is just a short walk away, though the traffic on the main road can be a nightmare in the evenings. I don’t have a big team or anyone answering the phones for me. It is just me here, doing what needs to get done. The neighbors in Sai Sadan are mostly families, so there is a nice community feeling around the building. Sometimes it gets a bit noisy with kids playing or people talking in the hallways, but I don’t mind it. It makes the place feel alive. I just keep things simple and try to stay on top of my schedule. It is a practical setup in a part of town that I know well, and it works for my life. No big mission or anything, just a person working from their space in Andheri. It's my daily routine.
