Our workplace is based in the Matruchhaya Society on Waghodia Road, which is number 58. We are quite close to the Nalanda Society, so it is a fairly well-known residential pocket. It is much quieter here than in the main commercial districts of the city. We like the fact that we can hear the birds in the morning and the sound of the neighborhood waking up slowly. The office itself is part of a residential-style building, which gives it a more personal and less corporate feel. We have a few plants on the windowsill that we try to keep alive, though the summer heat makes it difficult sometimes. Inside, it is a bit cluttered with papers and books, but we know exactly where everything is. The floor is made of old-style tiles that stay nice and cool underfoot. We don't have a large staff, so it is usually just one or two of us handling everything from answering the phone to filing documents. It is a very relaxed environment. We don't wear formal clothes or follow a strict corporate schedule. We just make sure the work gets done and that we stay on top of our daily tasks. People who come to see us often live nearby, so there is a lot of local talk and catching up. It is a comfortable, humble space that has served us well for a long time.
