Divine Astro Research Center

The Adajan area in Surat is always busy, especially around the Badheri Market. We’re tucked away at A 7. Divine Astro Research Center isn’t a very big place. It’s mostly just a room filled with books and papers. We spend a lot of time calculating things and looking at old texts. The market outside is quite noisy with vendors shouting and bikes zooming past, but we’ve gotten used to it. The walls are a bit thin, so you can hear everything. We have a small desk where we do all the writing and research. It’s a bit cluttered, if I’m being honest. There are stacks of files that need filing and cups of tea that we forgot to finish. We don't really have a staff, just a couple of us who have been studying this stuff for a long time. People come in with all sorts of questions, and we do our best to find the answers in the charts. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to work by candlelight, which actually feels a bit more natural for what we do. It’s not a glamorous job, but it keeps us busy. We like being part of the market life. You see everyone here. We just keep the door open and wait for whoever needs a bit of guidance to walk in. It’s just our little spot in the middle of it all.
