I work out of my place at F-304 in the Prakruti Flat complex. This is in Manjaipur, specifically on the 3rd Cross road, tucked right behind the Gane building. It is a residential area, so it stays pretty calm throughout the day except for the occasional delivery bike. I have set up a corner of my living room for the work I do. There are containers and boxes stacked up against one wall, and a small table where I keep my books and my phone. It is not a commercial shop or a storefront, so you won't see a big sign outside or anything like that. Mostly, people just know my address and come by when they have something they want to discuss or pick up. The balcony looks out over the other buildings in Manjaipur, and I usually sit there when the sun starts to go down to take a little break. Since it is a flat, I have to be careful not to make too much noise and bother the families living next door. My routine is pretty simple: I wake up, have my morning tea, and start looking at what needs to be finished for the day. Sometimes the delivery guys get lost finding the 3rd Cross, so I have to go all the way down to the main gate to meet them. It is just a home-based thing where I handle everything myself. It might seem a bit disorganized to an outsider, but I know exactly where everything is.
