Patel Lila I

I have been here in Subhanpura for a long time now. It is a busy little spot, especially since we are right near Vidhya Vihar School. You can always hear the kids when school gets out, which makes the afternoons pretty loud but lively. I started out at number 28 just wanting to have a place to do my work. It’s not a fancy office, just a regular space where things get done every day. Sometimes people stop by just because they are passing through the neighborhood. The morning starts early here. I usually unlock the door around the time the first buses go by. It can get dusty being so close to the main road, but that is just part of being in this part of town. I don't really think about it much anymore. We have seen a lot of changes on this street over the years. New shops come and go, but we have stayed put right here. It is nice being close to the school because everyone knows the landmark. If I tell someone where I am, they just look for the school and then they find me easily enough. It is just me and the work most days. I try to keep things organized, but sometimes the paperwork piles up on the desk when it gets busy. It’s a simple life here, nothing too complicated or stressful. We just keep going, day after day, doing what needs to be done.
