Ghanshyam S Sharma

I’m Ghanshyam S Sharma and my place is at 13 Raopura in Shashtri Nagar. Specifically, I am in the Usha Kiran Building, which is right near Aksha Society. Raopura is a busy part of town and there is always something going on in the streets. I’ve been in this building for quite some time now. It’s a bit of an older structure, but it’s sturdy and keeps us dry when the monsoons come. The Usha Kiran Building has a lot of small offices like mine. We all know each other and sometimes share a pot of tea in the afternoons. It’s not a place where we wear ties or have big meetings. We just get on with our tasks. Being near Aksha Society makes it easy for people to find us. I usually walk to work because I live close by. The stairs in the building can be a bit steep, so I take them slow these days. My office has one big window that looks out over the street. I like watching the vendors sell their goods below. It feels like a real community here. We don't have any fancy mission statements or slogans on the walls. It’s just me and my desk and the work that needs doing today. It’s a simple setup but it works for me and has for years. I don’t think I’d want to be anywhere else in Vadodara. The routine stays pretty much the same.
