I’ve been here at E/23 on Waghodia Road for a while now. If you know the Parivar Char Rasta area, you know it gets pretty busy with all the traffic coming through. My spot is just a regular place, nothing fancy to look at from the outside. I spend most of my mornings just getting things ready and watching the bikes go past the window. It’s a good spot because people know where the crossroads are. The building itself is okay, it has its quirks like any old place does. Sometimes the fan makes a bit of noise but it keeps the air moving when it gets hot in the afternoons. I don't really do much in terms of big signs or anything. People just find me because I'm right here near the junction. Usually, I'm just sitting at the desk sorting through whatever needs doing that day. The neighbors are alright, we all kind of do our own thing but say hello in the mornings. It’s a lot of work keeping up with everything, especially when the road gets loud with the horns honking. I try to keep the place organized but with all the papers and stuff it gets a bit cluttered sometimes. That’s just how it is when you’re busy. I’ve lived around here long enough that the noise doesn’t even bother me anymore. It’s just home and work all mixed together really and it feels alright for what it is.
