Maheshwar Sahu

Maheshwar Sahu is located at house number 101/A in Kolivery Village, which can be a puzzle to find if you aren't from around Kalina. It’s tucked away in the lanes of Santacruz East. I work out of room 2B. It is a local neighborhood, very lived-in, with kids playing in the gullies and people drying clothes on the balconies. I’ve lived in Mumbai for years and this spot just works. It is not some glass building in a corporate park; it is a home and a workplace all mixed into one. The walls are thin, so you hear the neighbors or the tea stall down the road, but that’s just how it is here. I usually start my day early before the heat gets too bad. My desk is by the window so I can see who is coming and going. Most of my tools and papers are stacked on the wooden shelves I put in last year. It’s a bit cramped when people visit, but we make it work with extra plastic chairs. I don't really go for all that modern office stuff. I just need a chair, a table, and a bit of peace to get things finished. It’s an honest way to spend the day in a busy city. Most folks find me by asking around the village. It’s that kind of place, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
