Sachin Bansode

I am Sachin Bansode. My place is 24-A in the Krishna A Thakur Chawl. It is tucked away in Amboli Pada, which is part of the Andheri West area. If you know Mumbai, you know how busy Andheri gets every day, but my little corner in the chawl is a bit different. It is a very tight-knit community here. I have been working from this exact spot for a long time. It is not a fancy glass building or anything like that. It is just a simple room where I can focus on my business. I have my papers and my setup right where I need them to be. Most of the people living around here know me by name. We see each other every day in the narrow lanes of Amboli Pada. The address might seem a bit hard to find if you are not from around here, but once you get to the Thakur Chawl, everyone knows 24-A. I usually keep my door open to let some air in during the hot afternoon. It gets very warm, but that is just how life is in this city. I do not have a big team or anything like that, it is mostly just me handling the daily work. I like the energy of the neighborhood. There is always someone selling something or kids playing nearby. It keeps me grounded. I do not need much else to get my job done for now.
