Dattatray Jyotish Karyalay

At Dattatray Jyotish Karyalay, we spend our working days at 71 1 on Sangavi Bajaj Road. It is a very familiar spot for us, and most people who have lived in this part of town for a while know exactly where the road is. The office isn't very large at all, but it serves its purpose for the kind of work we do every day. We have been here long enough that the walls and the creaky floorboards feel like old friends. It is usually quite peaceful inside, which is helpful when we need to focus on our papers. Outside on Bajaj Road, there is almost always some noise from the scooters, rickshaws, and cars passing by at all hours. Sometimes we have to step out onto the pavement just to clear our heads because the air gets a bit heavy in the back room during the monsoon. The address 71 1 can be a bit confusing for people who are visiting for the first time, so we often tell them to look for the landmark on the corner. We don't do much in the way of decorating the place; it is mostly just wooden shelves and a few places for people to sit down. We drink a lot of tea and water when it is hot outside, and there is a small shop nearby that sells good biscuits. Most of our day is spent looking at charts or talking to people who come in with their various questions. It is a steady life here in Sangavi.
