Lalita Deshpande

My name is Lalita Deshpande and I run things from Laxmi Niwas in Dadar West. The address is 4 Bungalows, number 9, right near Shivaji Park. It is a busy area and the house has been around for quite some time. Living and working in Dadar means there is always something going on outside the window. We spend most of our time dealing with the daily grind right here at home. It is not a corporate office with glass walls or anything like that. It is just a room with a lot of files and a computer that sometimes acts up when the weather gets too humid. People often stop by because they know the location well. Shivaji Park is a landmark everyone recognizes, so finding us is not too hard. I have stayed in this spot for years, and the neighbors are all familiar faces. The work gets done between sips of coffee and phone calls that never seem to end. Sometimes the ceiling fan makes a clicking noise, but we just ignore it and keep going. We do not have a fancy website or a big marketing budget. We just do what we do and hope people are satisfied with how it turns out. Life in Dadar is fast, but inside Laxmi Niwas, we try to keep a steady pace. It is a bit cramped with all the stuff we have collected, but it works for us. That is just the way it is here.
