My workspace is located at H 9 in Warje Malwadi. If you know where Vanaz Engineers is, then finding us is pretty easy because we are right near their big facility. It is a residential-style building that I have converted to work out of. There isn't a big sign outside or anything flashy. Usually, people just know me by name and come by when they need something done. The area is quite busy with traffic during the rush hours, but inside the room, it stays relatively quiet. I have got a couple of chairs for visitors and a desk that is usually covered in papers and pens. I do not like having a super formal setup. I prefer it when things are relaxed and we can just talk through whatever project is on the table. Sometimes I am out on the field or meeting people elsewhere, so the office might be locked up for a bit. But mostly, I am here making calls or writing things down. The neighborhood has changed a lot since I started here, with more shops popping up every year. It used to be much quieter near the Vanaz gate. Now, there is always a tea stall or a small grocery store nearby where I go for breaks. It is a humble spot but it works perfectly for what I do. I like that I can just walk to the corner and see familiar faces from the local area while I work.
