Finding our place can be a bit of a challenge because the address is quite long. We are in Sector No 27 A, at Plot No 62 in the Prdhidaran Nigdi area of Pune. Specifically, we are at the residence of Manjunath M Aigali, c/o L K Yadav. It is a residential neighborhood, so it feels very different from a typical business district. There are trees along the street and kids playing nearby after school lets out. The house has a specific feel to it, very lived-in and comfortable. We use a portion of the space for our work, so there are books and papers spread out on the dining table more often than not. The light in Pune during the evening is really something, and it fills the rooms here nicely. We do not have a big sign outside, so most people who come here are looking for us specifically. It is a quiet way to work. You can hear the birds in the morning and the sound of someone sweeping their porch nearby. We drink our tea on the balcony when we need a break from the computer screen. It is a simple setup, without any corporate pretense. We just handle our daily tasks, answer emails, and keep things moving. Living and working in the same general area makes the days feel longer in a good way, like we are actually part of the community here in Nigdi.
