This place in Andheri West is where I do all my work. It’s just an apartment, A101 to be exact, so it doesn't feel like a cold office at all. I’ve lived around here for years and decided to use this space for my professional bits instead of commuting across the city every day. The building is number 28 and it’s tucked away enough that you don't get all the main road noise, which helps me focus. I’m usually here from early morning till evening, mostly staring at a screen or talking on the phone with clients. It’s a one-man show mostly, so if I’m out getting coffee or running an errand, the door stays locked. I don't see the point in having a big staff when I can manage the projects myself. The living room is mostly full of books and some equipment I use for my tasks. People who come over usually comment on how quiet it is for being in Andheri. I like it that way. It’s a simple setup—a good chair, a solid desk, and a fast internet connection is all I really need to get things moving. Sometimes the neighbors’ kids are playing in the hallway, but that’s just part of being in a residential building. I do my best work when I’m comfortable, and being here makes that easy. It’s just a regular spot for someone doing regular business in a busy city.
