Hunnarshala Foundation, a technology-driven organization invested in building holistic communities, carries a deep legacy rooted in the rebuilding of Bhuj after the devastating earthquake. Its office reflects this spirit of creativity and resilience through its architecture and innovations.
Amid the architectural models, sketches, and double-monitor setups in Abbhat, the architecture studio of Hunnarshala, you’ll find a different kind of energy: warm, furry companions that have made this space their home. Meet Chotu, Mimi, Sultan, Simba, and the enigmatic “Mother Cat.” There’s even a new member, affectionately dubbed “The New One,” who is yet to be named. Who are they? How do they fit into the everyday rhythm of this vibrant workplace? Let me take you on a journey to uncover their stories, their quirks, and their impact on the office’s ecosystem.
Through this photo story, you’ll see their lives unfold, right alongside the humans they share this creative space with.
Chotu: The Chill Guy
Chotu is the epitome of calm. While others squabble or explore, he is content to watch the world from his favourite sunlit corner. His relaxed demeanour makes him the go-to lap companion for anyone having a stressful day. Nothing fazes Chotu—he exudes a zen-like energy that quietly reminds everyone to take it easy.
Mimi: The Chulbuli Girl
Mimi is the drama queen, the spark of mischief in the office. She loves attention and isn’t afraid to demand it. Her playful spirit often leads to quarrels with Mother Cat, but it’s all in good fun. From batting at pens to jumping onto desks, Mimi ensures there’s never a dull moment in Abbhat.
The New One: The Unnamed Explorer
The newest member of the gang is an adventurous little soul with a new name every day. No matter what you call them, ‘The New One’ responds with boundless curiosity. Always eager to explore, they have quickly won over the hearts of everyone at Hunnarshala, becoming an integral part of the office family.
Sultan: The Gentle Giant
With his majestic build and calm demeanour, Sultan is a silent guardian. He strolls through the office with an air of quiet confidence, keeping a watchful eye on his feline friends. Despite his size, Sultan’s gentleness is unmatched. A nudge from him feels like a reminder that everything will be okay.
Simba: The Energetic Charmer
Ever energetic and endlessly affectionate, he is often seen chasing his tail or greeting visitors with enthusiasm. Simba’s cheerful presence lifts spirits even during the most hectic days.
Mother Cat: The Wise Matriarch
Mother Cat is the elder stateswoman of the group. She rarely engages in the antics of the others, preferring to observe from her chosen perch. When things get too rowdy, a single look from her is enough to restore order. Her wisdom and calm make her the anchor of the group.
Morning Rituals
Every morning, as the team at Hunnarshala begins their day, their furry companions gather in the studio. Someone will open a packet of cat food, and the quiet studio transforms into a scene of joyful chaos. The cats purr and jostle as they eat, while Sultan patiently waits his turn. This daily ritual is a reminder of the shared community spirit that defines Hunnarshala.
Special Moments
Every pet at Hunnarshala has a unique personality that brings laughter and warmth to the office. Like the time Mimi ‘helped’ an architect by pawing at their sketches, or when The New One stole snacks from an unattended desk. Sultan once gently broke up a spat between Mimi and Mother Cat, earning him admiration from everyone.
Conclusion
The pets of Hunnarshala are a reflection of the foundation’s ethos—resilience, creativity, and community. They’ve carved a special place for themselves in the hearts of everyone at the office. Through their stories, it’s clear that life at Hunnarshala is not just about rebuilding spaces; it’s about building bonds that last a lifetime.
