My place is located in Dandia Bazar, specifically at Kamal Kunj on Pratap Road. It is one of those old-fashioned spots where everyone knows their neighbor's business. I have been operating out of this building for a long time, and the walls have seen a lot of history. The bazaar is always loud and full of energy, which I actually find quite helpful for staying awake during those long afternoons. My office isn’t much to look at, just a few sturdy desks and some old filing cabinets that have been with me since the start. I handle a lot of different tasks, mostly related to local business and paperwork that needs sorting. People walk in right off Pratap Road with all sorts of requests. I don’t really do the whole polished professional act; I just talk to people like they are my neighbors, because usually, they are. Sometimes the fan in the corner makes a clicking sound that drives me crazy, but I never seem to get around to fixing it. Work keeps me busy enough that I don't worry about the small things. It is a practical life, and the location in Dandia Bazar puts me right where the action is. I enjoy the walk to work every morning, seeing the shops open up and the street come alive. It is just a regular way to spend the day.
