Our place is up on the second floor of the A-9 building here in Duggal Colony. It is a bit of a climb if you are carrying heavy bags, but you get used to the stairs after a week. The office isn't anything special to look at, just some plain walls and the usual equipment we need to stay busy. We have been in this part of New Delhi for some time now. From the window, you can see the street below and hear the vegetable sellers calling out in the afternoons. It keeps the day from feeling too quiet. Sometimes the internet acts up, which is annoying, but we manage. We aren't a big corporation with hundreds of staff. It is just a small group of us making sure everything gets handled properly. We keep our own hours mostly, depending on what needs to be finished. The furniture is a bit mismatched because we bought things as we needed them over the years. It feels more like a home than a stiff office space. We handle our daily business without much fuss. If someone calls, they usually speak directly to one of us, not a machine. We don't have a fancy reception desk or anything like that. Just a couple of rooms where we sit and work. It's a practical way to run things. We like being in this neighborhood because everything is close by, even if the parking is a nightmare. The neighbors are mostly families who have been here as long as we have.
