Tarun Jain

F-22/136 in Rohini Sector-3 is where Tarun Jain set things up. It is a typical Delhi residential block where everyone knows everyone else’s business. We have been working out of this space for quite a while now. The room we use is at the front, so we can see who is coming and going on the street. It gets really hot in the summer months, and the old ceiling fan makes a clicking sound that we have just learned to ignore. Rohini is a big area, but Sector-3 has its own quiet corners if you know where to look. We usually start our day around nine in the morning after the school buses have finished their rounds. The tea seller at the corner brings us two cups every morning without us even asking. It is that kind of place. We don't do much in terms of decorating the office because there is no point in pretending to be something we are not. There are stacks of files on the desk and a couple of plastic chairs for anyone who drops by. We just try to get through the work without making too much of a fuss. The internet connection can be a bit slow when it rains, but we manage. Most of the people around here are families, so it stays relatively peaceful in the evenings after the shops close down.
