Tiwarisom

This is Tiwarisom, and I’m Som Tiwari. My home and where I do my work is in Village Mishrapur. It’s under the Pariyawan post office in the Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh. Living and working in a village is different from the big cities. Things are a bit slower here, and you have to deal with whatever comes your way. I don’t have a fancy office building. I just work from my house in the village. It’s where my family has been, and it’s where I feel most comfortable. People in the district know the area, though it’s a bit of a trek for anyone coming from outside. I handle my business right from here, using whatever resources I have. It might not look like a corporate setup, but the work gets done just the same. Sometimes the internet is a bit patchy, or the electricity goes off for a few hours, but we are used to that. It’s just how life is in this part of India. I wanted to make sure people knew where I was based. Pratapgarh is my home, and Mishrapur is where I stay. I don’t feel the need to move to a big city to do my thing. I like the fresh air and the fact that I know everyone on the street. It’s a simple life, but it’s a busy one for me.
