Our place is tucked away in Lokmanya Nagar Gb Palya, right near the busy Hosur Road. Being at number 365 means we hear all the trucks and buses going past all day long. It is a bit loud, but you get used to the rhythm of the traffic after a few weeks. The office isn't anything special to look at from the outside. Inside, it’s mostly just desks, chairs, and a few old shelves that lean a bit to the left. We do our work here without making much of a fuss. Most days start with clearing off the dust that seems to find its way in from the main road. We drink a lot of coffee from the shop around the corner. It's a small team, so everyone knows who left their lunch in the fridge too long. We don't have fancy meetings; we just shout across the room when something needs doing. The local shops know us well by now. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just sit there talking until it flickers back on. It is a practical way to work, and we don’t see a reason to change it. We’ve been at this spot for a bit, and the walls are covered in notes and old calendars. It’s a working space, not a showroom. If you come by, you’ll find us busy with whatever is on the desk that morning. We always keep a few spare chairs in the back for when visitors stop in unexpectedly.
