Angotu Lakshmi

Angotu Lakshmi is located at 3-8 in Dawoodguda Thanda. This area is part of Kandukur Pulimamidi in Maheswaram. Life in a Thanda is quite different from being in the middle of a big city like Hyderabad. It is more spread out and you can see the trees and the open land around us. We operate from this address and it is a very local affair. There are no big signs or glass buildings here. We just have our space where we handle our daily business tasks. People from the area know where to find us if they need anything. The work we do is practical and fits the needs of the community. We don't have a formal way of doing things, it’s more about what needs to happen right now. The sun can be very strong in Maheswaram, so we often do the heaviest work in the early morning or later in the evening. During the day, we stay inside or in the shade. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except for the local sounds of the village and the occasional vehicle passing by. We don't use much in the way of big machines or fancy computers. It is just about being present at 3-8 and making sure we stay on top of our responsibilities. We are part of the local fabric here and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
