We are over at Udhna, specifically in Shivkrupa Society at B 27. If you know where the New Gujarat Times Press is, then we are right opposite that. It’s a good landmark because everyone seems to know it. Our spot is pretty basic, just a standard room where we handle our business. We aren't trying to win any awards for how the place looks. It’s functional, with enough space for us to sit and get through the paperwork. The street outside can get pretty clogged with vehicles, especially when the press is busy, but we’ve gotten used to the hum of the engines. We’ve been in this society for a while now, and the neighbors are all familiar. We don't use big words or try to act like we are some huge corporation. We are just local people working a local job. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside for a bit until it comes back on. It’s that kind of place. We value the fact that people can just drop by and talk to us face to face. There are no fancy gatekeepers here. You just walk in and we see what we can do for you. It’s a very grounded way of living and working, and it suits our style perfectly. We just keep our heads down and do the work without any drama. The tea vendor nearby makes a great cup, which helps us through the afternoons.
