We’ve been here in Jayanagar 4th Block East for a while now, specifically on the 2nd floor of M R Chambers. If you know the area, you probably know where the Bank of India is on 10th A Main Road—we are right above that. It’s a busy spot, but it works for us. Most days start pretty early with students trickling in. Some of them look tired from their commute, while others are just ready to get going with their studies. The building itself is older, but it has a certain character that you don't find in those new glass structures. We spend a lot of time organizing materials and making sure the classrooms are ready for whoever is coming in next. Sometimes the traffic outside can get a bit loud, especially during the evening rush on the main road, but once you’re inside, it’s mostly just the sound of pens scratching on paper or someone explaining a difficult concept. We don’t have fancy decor or anything like that. It’s just desks, chairs, and people trying to figure things out together. We usually grab lunch from one of the small eateries nearby because there are so many good ones in Jayanagar. It’s a decent place to work and learn. We see a lot of faces throughout the week, and every one of them is focused on their own goals. That's pretty much what goes on here day in and day out. We often stay late checking work as the street lights flicker on outside.
