Naresh Kumar

I’ve been working out of Buddha Colony for quite some time now. Being near Boring Road means there is never a dull moment. You see all sorts of people walking by every single day. My name is Naresh Kumar and this is just where I do my business. It isn’t a fancy office with glass walls or anything. It’s more of a practical space where things get done. Patna can be a tough place to run a business sometimes because of the heat and the crowds, but you get used to the rhythm of the streets. I’ve always preferred being here rather than in one of those new shopping malls. There is a bit of history in these old lanes. I handle my own work and talk to the customers directly. No middleman or complicated phone menus here. If someone has a question, they just ask me. I grew up not too far from here so I know the shortcuts and the local shops well. The address is easy to find once you know the area. I usually keep the shutters up until late evening because that’s when people are heading home and need things. It’s a basic life but it keeps me busy. I don’t spend much time on the computer, I’d rather be out front seeing what’s happening on the road. Most days are okay, some are a bit slow, but that is just how it goes when you work for yourself.
