My office is tucked away in the Civil Wings area of Tis Hazari, specifically at number 32. If you know the courts, you know how hectic it gets around here every single day. There are always people rushing around with files and the corridors are usually packed. I have been working out of this space for a while now, and my desk is usually covered in folders and documents that need looking at. It is not the kind of place where things are quiet or very organized-looking, but I know exactly where everything is. Most of my day is spent dealing with the paperwork that comes with being in this part of town. People come by when they have something that needs sorting out, and we just sit and go through the details one by one. I do not have a big staff or a fancy waiting room. It is just a practical space where the work happens. Sometimes I am out of the office for part of the day, so the door might be locked for an hour, but someone is usually around. Working in Tis Hazari means you see a lot of different things, and you learn to just keep your head down and focus on the task at hand. It is a lot of reading and checking names and dates. I just try to get through the stack of files before the day ends and go home for some peace.
