Lotus Born Foundation

We are over at House No 75 in Block-F of Aruna Nagar. It’s up on the 3rd floor. If you know Majnu Ka Tila, you know how busy the market gets. It is usually crowded downstairs with people moving through the narrow lanes and hitting the shops. The landmark market is right there, so there is always noise and something happening. Up here on the third floor, it’s a bit quieter but you still hear the bikes and the talk from the street. We’ve been here for a while now as Lotus Born Foundation. The building is just one of those standard houses in the block. Getting up the stairs is a bit of a workout every morning, especially when it’s hot outside in Delhi. We spend most of our day sitting around the desks here. Sometimes the power cuts out for a bit, but that’s just how things go in this part of town. There isn't much space, but we make it work with what we have. People often walk right past the door because the market is so distracting. It is a very lived-in kind of place. Not fancy or anything like that. Just a few rooms where we get our stuff done. You can see the rooftops of other houses from the windows. It’s a real neighborhood vibe here. We don't have a big sign or anything flashy, just the name on the door. It’s homey in a way.
