The Taj Mahal Palace Tower

The Taj Mahal Palace Tower is located in Room No. 12 of Rajanna Chawl at Sambhaji Chowk on New Mill Road in Kurla West. It is a very busy part of Mumbai and the chawl is always full of activity from the early morning until late at night. Our space in Room No. 12 is quite small and we have to be very organized to fit everything in. There is always the sound of people talking in the corridors and the noise from the traffic on New Mill Road never really stops. It is a very modest setup and we spend a lot of our time just managing the daily tasks that come up in such a crowded neighborhood. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint and the floor is just plain cement that we scrub down every day. It is a very different vibe from the luxury places you might imagine with a similar name. Here it is about the grit and the daily hustle of Kurla. We know all the neighbors around the chawl and there is a lot of coming and going through the day. Sometimes we have to step out into the chowk just to get a bit of air when it gets too cramped inside. It is just a small local room where we do our work and try to keep things running despite the heat and the constant noise.
