Laljibhai J Patel

I am Laljibhai J Patel and I have been living and working in the Dabhoi area for many years. My place is in the United Colony, which sits right near the Nandodi Bhagol. It is a very local spot and most of the people who come here are from the nearby streets. I don't have a big corporate sign or anything like that. People just know where I am. The colony is usually quiet, except for the sounds of the children playing or the occasional scooter passing by. My work involves a lot of talking to people and helping them out with their local needs. I keep a diary to note down everything so I don't forget the details. The weather in Dabhoi can be quite harsh, so I have a good fan in the room. I usually sit near the window so I can see who is coming. It is a simple life and the work is straightforward. I have seen many changes in United Colony over the decades. New houses have come up and old neighbors have moved away. I stay here because this is where my roots are. Most days follow the same pattern. I wake up, open the doors, and wait for whoever needs my help. It is not a fast-paced life, but it is a busy one in its own way. I am glad to be part of this community near Nandodi Bhagol.
