Raj Kapoor Sharma & Co

Our office, Raj Kapoor Sharma & Co, is on the second floor of a building in Jawahar Nagar, right across from the Baba Banquet Hall. It’s near the Delhi G P O area, which is always busy with people and vehicles. Being on the second floor means we have to walk up some narrow stairs, but it gives us a bit of a view of the street below. The office itself is quite old-fashioned. We have heavy wooden desks and some metal filing cabinets that have been with us for a long time. There is no central air conditioning, just a couple of wall fans that hum all day long. Across the street, the banquet hall often has music playing for weddings, so we hear a lot of drums and celebrations during the season. It’s a lived-in space with some coffee stains on the coasters and a lot of pens that have run out of ink. We don't have a fancy lobby or any branding on the walls. It’s just a place where we sit and handle whatever comes across our desks. The people who work here have been together for a while, so we know each other's habits pretty well. It’s a very human way to work, surrounded by the noise and life of Jawahar Nagar. We just keep our heads down and finish the paperwork before heading home to our families. The door sticks a little in the rainy season but we know how to push it.
