R-23 in Greater Kailash-1 is where we spend most of our time. It is a busy part of the city, and being in GK-1 means there is always something going on outside our doors. We have been set up here for a bit now, tucked away in this spot. The place is not huge, but we make it work for everything we need to do. We usually start our mornings early before the traffic really gets bad on the main roads. It is mostly just us working away on the latest projects, surrounded by rolls of cloth and different threads. It gets a bit messy during the middle of the day when we are in the thick of it. We do not really have a fancy front office or someone waiting to greet people with a script. You just walk in and see us working. Sometimes the phone rings off the hook, and other times it is quiet enough to actually hear yourself think. We have got some regular faces who stop by just to say hello or check on how things are moving along. It is a nice community feeling despite how fast everything moves in Delhi. We do not worry too much about having a polished look. We care more about the actual work sitting on the tables. By the time we lock up in the evening, we are usually pretty tired, but it is a good kind of tired because we got things done.
