Aastha Meditation Center

It’s pretty quiet here in Shri Pooja Society, which is why we picked this spot in Balaji Nagar. We are part of the Gujrat Colony area. Every morning I come in and sweep the floor before anyone else arrives. We have a few mats spread out and some old curtains that block the bright sun. It isn't a fancy spa or anything like that. It’s just a room where people can sit and be still for a bit. Sometimes you can hear the neighbors’ kids playing outside or someone’s motorbike starting up, but that’s just part of life. We don't have a big staff. It’s mostly just me and a couple of others who help out with the cleaning. People walk in from the street looking a bit tired, and they leave looking a little less heavy. We don't use any special equipment or have a big front desk. I keep a small pot of water for tea in the back corner. The walls are a little bit scuffed from where we move the cushions around. We’ve been in this society for a few years and the people next door are used to us now. It’s a simple routine. We open the windows in the evening to let the breeze in. There’s no marketing here, just a door that stays open for whoever needs to sit down. Sometimes the fan makes a clicking sound that we just ignore after a few minutes.
