Gajjala Narsimha

I live and work at H. No. 2-34 in Lingotam village. This is in the Nampally mandal. It is a very rural area and life moves a bit slower here. My name is Gajjala Narsimha and this has been my home for as long as I can remember. I do various things to keep busy, mostly helping out with local needs. Whether it is paperwork or small trade, I handle it from my house. The village is small so everyone knows where my house is. You don't need a map once you get to Lingotam. I spend a lot of time on the porch talking to people who pass by. The weather is usually hot, so we do most of our work in the early morning or late evening. I don’t have a big sign or a fancy office. It is just a desk in the front room with a few chairs for visitors. I try to keep things simple. If a problem comes up, we just sit down and figure it out. There are no corporate rules here, just common sense and helping your neighbors. I’ve seen many changes in the mandal over the years, but our village stays mostly the same. I take pride in being a local person who people can rely on. It is not a big business by any means, just one man doing what he can in his own community to help out while making a living.
