Wajeeh Shafiq

Wajeeh Shafiq is situated at 18 Bengali Market, specifically in the Central Lane Basement. Being in a basement means we don’t get a lot of natural light, but it stays nice and cool during the hot summer months. Bengali Market is a famous spot, so there are always people around looking for food or shopping. We are just a few steps down from the main street. The space is a bit narrow, with desks lined up against the walls to make the most of the room we have. It’s a quiet place to work compared to the street noise outside. We spend our days typing away and looking over various files. There’s a faint smell of paper and old ink in the air. We’ve been in this basement for quite some time now, and we’ve gotten used to the way the walls echo a little. If you’re coming to see us, you have to be careful on the stairs because they’re a bit steep. We don’t have a big sign outside, just a small one near the door. It’s a very straightforward setup. We don't have any fancy coffee machines or lounge areas. Just a few of us working on what needs to be done. We usually grab a quick bite from one of the stalls in the market when we get a chance. It’s a busy life, but we like being in this part of town.
