Neelam Katoch

Neelam Katoch works from H-2/21D in the Bengali Colony area. This is part of Mahavir Enclave in New Delhi. The pin code is 110045. It is a very crowded part of the city. Houses are built very close together here. You can hear the neighbor’s television sometimes through the walls. We have a small space on the ground floor. It gets a little dark during the day, so we keep the lights on. My desk is tucked into a corner near the window, but there isn’t much of a view except the wall of the next house. I’ve been in Mahavir Enclave for several years now. It’s a convenient place because everything is nearby. You can find a grocery store or a chemist within a two-minute walk. The streets are narrow, so parking a car is always a big headache. I usually just walk or take a rickshaw. The work we do is pretty straightforward. I don’t have a big team helping me out. It’s mostly just me handling the daily chores and tasks. We try to keep things organized, but sometimes the paperwork piles up. It’s a real place with real people living their lives. Nothing is overly polished or fancy here. We just put in the hours and try to get things right. It’s home and it’s where I work every single day.
