The office is inside Swanand, at number 186 in Vinayak Nagar. It’s a pretty quiet area for the most part, though you get the usual street noise during the day. We’ve been set up here for some time now, and the space has that lived-in feeling. There’s a bit of a creak in the front door that we keep meaning to fix, but somehow it never happens. We mostly spend our time around the main table, going through documents or catching up on things that need doing. It’s not a large operation, just a few of us making sure everything stays on track. The light in Vinayak Nagar is nice in the afternoons, hitting the windows just right. We don't have any flashy signs out front. If you weren't looking for the number 186, you might just walk right past us. We like it that way, honestly. It keeps things calm so we can actually get stuff done. Usually, someone brings in tea around mid-morning, and we take a few minutes to talk about things other than work. The shelves are packed with old binders and folders from years past. It's a bit crowded in the corner where the printer sits, but we make it work. Most people who stop by are locals who know where Swanand is without needing a map. It's just a regular place where we show up every day and do what needs to be done.
