Dibya Sinha

This is Dibya Sinha. My address is C/O K.P. Lall, Lakshmi Niwas, D-6, Vijaynagar, Hanumannagar, Patna-800020, Bihar. I’ve lived in Patna for most of my life. Lakshmi Niwas is a house that has been around for a long time. It’s in a part of Hanumannagar that gets quite busy during the day. D-6 is just a regular home where I have set up a space to work. It’s not an office building with glass windows and security guards. It is just a brick house with a gate. I like being in Vijaynagar because it feels familiar. The streets can get a bit muddy when it rains, and the summer heat in Bihar is no joke, but we manage. I don’t have a big team helping me out. It’s mostly just me handling the daily things that come up. I try to keep the place tidy, but with all the books and papers, it’s hard. People in the neighborhood know the house. I don’t use any special language to talk about what I do. It’s just plain work. I wake up, have some breakfast, and get started. There’s a small shop at the corner where I get my daily supplies. It’s a very grounded way to live. I don’t think you need anything fancy to be productive. This is just where I am and what I do every day in Patna.
