Dayananda Arakere

I’ve been at No. 41 in the Bahanvi Complex for a while now. If you know Kuvempu Nagar, you know Vishwamanava Double Road gets pretty busy during the day. We are up on the first floor. It’s not a huge place, just a regular office where we get our work done. Sometimes the traffic outside makes it hard to hear, but we’re used to it. The stairs can be a bit steep if you aren't expecting them. Most people around here just stop by because they saw the sign while driving past. There's a lot of activity on this road. We’ve kept things simple. I don’t think there is much point in having a fancy setup when the work speaks for itself. My desk is usually covered in papers and things we need to sort through. Dayananda Arakere is just the name on the door, really. We try to stay organized but it gets hectic sometimes. The morning sun hits the windows directly which makes it warm early on. People in the building are mostly quiet, doing their own thing. We have been in this spot long enough that the neighbors know us well. It’s a practical location for what we do. No bells or whistles, just the office and the daily routine. We open up early and stay until the work is finished. It's just a regular part of life here on the double road. We like it that way.
