Vibha C Shah

I am Vibha C Shah and I have my office at 606B Irla Lane. It is situated within the Jewel Cooperative Housing Society. Irla Lane is a busy little stretch of road, but once you get inside the society, it feels a bit more settled. Being in unit 606B means I am up a few floors, which gives me a bit of a view of the neighborhood. The housing society is quite old and has a lot of families living there, so there is a nice community feeling. I set up my workspace here because it was convenient and quiet enough for me to think. It is not a place with shiny signs or a reception desk. It’s just a room where I do what needs to be done. I handle a lot of my own chores and paperwork without much help. The walk down Irla Lane to get tea or lunch is always interesting because of the different shops and people you see. Sometimes the elevator in the building takes a while to arrive, but that gives me a moment to chat with the neighbors. My work day is pretty much the same every day. I come in, check what needs doing, and I stay until it is finished. It’s a very local way of doing things. I don't try to be anything I’m not. Just a person working out of a room in a housing society. It's a modest life.
