Bristlecone

Bristlecone is currently located in Room 326 of Hostel 3 at NITIE, right by Vihar Lake in Mumbai. It’s definitely not your typical office setting. Since we are in a hostel, the space is tight and there’s always something going on in the hallways. We have our desks crammed in, and there are probably more power strips than we actually need. Living and working in the same place means the day never really has a clear start or end. We might be working late at night because that’s when it’s finally quiet. The view of Vihar Lake is nice, though we don’t always have time to look at it. It’s a very basic setup. We use what we have and make it work. There’s a lot of energy around because of all the students nearby, which keeps us on our toes. We don’t have any fancy office equipment. It’s just us and our laptops. Sometimes we have to move things around just to find a place to sit. It’s a bit messy and crowded, but it’s where we are right now. We focus on the work because that’s what matters most. We aren't worried about having a big, polished image. We just want to get things done and learn as we go. It’s a bit of a scramble every day, but it’s an honest way to start something up and see where it goes.
