Kamala Academy

We are located on the second floor of a building at 169/2, right at the corner of 4th Main and 7th Cross in Chamarajpet. It’s a busy little area, and you can see people going about their business from our windows. The stairs up to the academy are a bit narrow, so you have to be careful when everyone is leaving at the same time. Inside, we have set up several rooms with long benches for the students. It’s a very simple setup. We don't have air conditioning or fancy interiors; we just rely on the ceiling fans and the breeze. Most days are pretty much the same. We arrive, tidy up the rooms, and wait for the students to start trickling in. Some of them come in looking quite tired after a long day at school, so we let them settle in before starting the lessons. We don't use a lot of complicated technology here. It's mostly just pens, paper, and the textbooks they use in school. We go through the chapters one by one. If a student doesn't understand something, we just go over it again until they do. It’s a straightforward way of doing things. Chamarajpet is a nice neighborhood with a lot of history, and we feel like a small part of it. We’ve been in this same spot for quite a while now, and the routine hasn't changed much over the years. We just finish up and head home like everyone else.
