Jayprakash Raval

I am Jayprakash Raval. I work out of Saral Flat, which is room 401 on the 25 Race Course Tarsali Road. It is a decent enough area, though the road gets quite a lot of traffic during the school rush hours. The building is older, but it is solid and we like the location. Being on the fourth floor gives us a bit of a breeze when we open the windows, which is nice in the summer months. It is mostly a residential area around here, so it stays fairly quiet compared to the main market. We have our small setup inside the flat. It’s not like a regular shop where people just walk in off the street. Usually, people call first or they already know me. I’ve lived and worked in this part of Vadodara for many years now. Finding the place is simple enough if you follow the road from the race course towards Tarsali. The neighbors are mostly families, so we try to keep the noise down. My desk is near the window where I can see the trees outside. It’s a simple life and a simple way of working. We don't have any fancy carpets or big glass doors. It’s just a place to sit and do the job honestly. Sometimes the lift stops working for maintenance, so the stairs are good exercise. It is just a normal place for normal work.
