Pandit Nagesh Chandra Sharma

I am Nagesh Chandra Sharma. My place is located at Yerwada Ashok Nagar 12 A. It’s a fairly easy house to find once you get into the lane. I have lived and worked in this part of Pune for many years now. The neighborhood has changed quite a bit since I first arrived, but 12 A stays pretty much the same. I spend most of my mornings preparing for the day's tasks. It is not a corporate setup at all. You just walk in and we sit on the floor or the chairs I have lined up. My family lives here too, so there is always a bit of household noise in the background, like the pressure cooker or someone watching the news. It makes the place feel lived in. I don’t believe in having a big sign or doing lots of shouting about what I do. People usually hear about me from their uncles or cousins. I just keep my books and things organized in the front room. Sometimes the lane gets blocked by parked scooters, which can be annoying, but that is just part of living in Yerwada. I usually stay open until the sun goes down. If you come by, you’ll probably see me reading or just sitting on the porch. It’s a quiet life and I like it that way.
