Prem Solanki

My name is Prem Solanki and I work out of my house here in Dabri Village. It’s house number 162, right on the main Nasir Pur Road. If you know New Delhi, you know this area is always crowded and moving. I’ve lived here all my life and decided to set up my work here too. It saves me the commute. The road outside is always full of rickshaws and people going to the market. Inside, it’s a bit quieter. I have a small room dedicated to all the paperwork and the computer. It’s not a big corporate setup, just me and occasionally a helper when things get too hectic. People stop by at odd hours sometimes because they know I'm usually around. I don't mind it much. Living and working in the same spot means I never really leave the job, but it works for me. The dust from the road gets in if I leave the window open, so I keep it shut mostly. It’s a practical way to run things. I handle a lot of different tasks throughout the day. Some days are slow and I just sit and drink chai, and other days I can't even find time to eat lunch. It’s just how life is in the village. We’ve been here for years and the neighbors are all like family. It's a humble place, nothing more than that.
