Guntupalli Prasada Rao

I’ve been working under my own name, Guntupalli Prasada Rao, for quite some time now, mostly handling things across the Medak and Hyderabad areas. It’s a lot of traveling back and forth between the two, which means I spend a good chunk of my day behind the wheel or waiting in traffic. The weather around Hyderabad can be a bit much, especially when you have to be out and about instead of sitting in a cooled office. My work doesn't really have a fixed headquarters with a sign out front; it’s more about being where the task is. One day I might be out in a more rural part of Medak, and the next I’m stuck in the middle of the city noise. I keep most of my records in a thick notebook that I carry everywhere. It’s a bit old-fashioned, but I don't trust the phone for everything. People usually call me directly on my mobile when they need something done. There isn't a team of people answering phones or a website to look at. It’s just me doing what I know how to do. Some days are long, starting before dawn and not finishing until well after dark. I grab food whenever I can at the small roadside stalls. It’s a busy life, and I don't get much rest, but I’ve been doing it this way for years and it works for me.
