Happy Associates

Happy Associates is tucked away in the MHB Colony over in Aram Nagar I, specifically at Vino D P Gaikwad 4, room 152, right off JP Road in Andheri West. If you know Mumbai, you know how busy it gets around Seven Bunglows. We’ve got a small space here. It’s a bit of a maze to find us if you’re not from around here, but once you see the old gate, you’re close. The walls inside could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but they’ve stayed this shade of off-white for years now. We spend most of our time at our desks with the windows cracked open to catch a breeze, though mostly it just lets in the sound of the rickshaws honking. The colony has a lot of character, with people always moving about and laundry hanging from the balconies nearby. We aren't trying to be anything special, just a group of people working in a crowded city. Most mornings start with clearing off the dust that settles overnight. We’ve got a couple of computers that take their time starting up and some stacks of folders that never seem to get any smaller. It gets pretty warm in the afternoons, so we usually have the big floor fan running. We’ve been part of this neighborhood for a long time and we like the familiar faces we see every day when we go out to get lunch near the 400061 area.
