This place is tucked away in the Vallabh Vihar Apartment over on Ajwa Road. If you know where Parivar School is, we are just a short walk from there in the 4th Block. It’s a residential area mostly, so it stays relatively calm compared to the main market streets. I've been based here at E/21 for a while. The 8th B Main Road gets a little crowded when school lets out in the afternoon, with all the parents and kids everywhere. Our office isn't very large, just enough space for the desks and some files we’ve piled up over the months. I usually keep the window cracked open a bit for some air, though you can hear the birds and the occasional scooter passing by. It’s a simple setup. We don't have a reception desk or anything like that. If you walk in, you'll probably just see me or one of the others working. We’ve lived and worked in this part of the city for a long time. It feels familiar. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the floor creaks a little near the door, but it works for us. We just handle our business day to day without making much of a fuss. Being near the school means there's always a bit of life around, which is nice. It beats being in a cold, grey office building downtown.
