Deepak Bangera

Living and working in Borivali is what we know best. Being at B/33 in the Laxman Jeevan Chamber feels like home because the whole neighborhood is familiar. It’s not a big corporate office with glass walls or anything. I usually get in around ten in the morning and start going through all the files on my desk. Some days are quite slow and I just end up watching the traffic move along Gorai Road from the window. Other days it is a constant stream of people popping in with questions. The office space is a bit small, but it fits what I need to get the job done. I have a couple of plastic chairs for visitors and a wooden desk that has seen better days. Dealing with the daily grind is just part of life. I don’t like using fancy words or acting like I am more important than anyone else. Most people who come by just need someone reliable to talk things through with. We often chat about the local news while we work. The building itself is getting a bit old, but it has a lot of character. My neighbor in the office next door often drops by for a quick tea. It is a very simple way of doing things. I handle everything personally here. If the phone rings, I am the one who answers it. There is no secretary or complicated menu. Most of the time, I am just finishing up paperwork before heading home.
