Praveen Endait

Charkop is a big area, and Sector-5 is where we’ve set ourselves up. We are in the B-wing of Pawanputra society, way up on the sixth floor in flat 608. Praveen usually gets in early before the lifts get too busy with everyone heading out for school or work. Kandivali West is always moving, but once you get up to the sixth floor, it’s a bit quieter. You can see the tops of the other buildings from the window. The office is really just a converted flat, so it feels more like a home than a workplace. We have files stacked up on the side table and the computer hums all day. Sometimes the rains make it hard to get here, but we manage. We aren't trying to be the biggest name in Mumbai. We just want to finish the work on our desks. It’s a small space, so things can get a bit cluttered when we’re busy. We usually order lunch from the small place downstairs or bring it from home. The society is decent, people are friendly enough in the hallways. It’s just a normal day-to-day routine for us. No one wears a suit here. We just wear whatever is comfortable for the weather. It’s practical and it works for what we need to do every day. We have been here for a while and the routine suits us just fine.
