Ganpati Coaching Center

Ganpati Coaching Center is located right on the Wednesday Market Road in Shalimar Garden, Sahibabad. If you know that area, you know how loud and crowded it gets, especially on the days when the market is in full swing. We are right in the middle of all that activity. The coaching center is not very big; it is basically just a few rooms where we have squeezed in as many desks as we could without it being too tight for the students. The fans hum all day long to keep the heat down, though they make a bit of a racket and sometimes we have to shout over them. We have been here for a while now, and most of the kids from the nearby blocks come here after their regular school hours finish. The walls are a bit scuffed from all the bags and chairs being moved around every day, but it is a place for learning, so it does not need to look perfect. On Wednesdays, it is a real challenge to get through the street with all the stalls set up outside, so we usually tell everyone to come a bit earlier or just walk if they can. We do not have a big sign with flashing lights, just a simple board so people know which door to enter. It is mostly just me and a couple of other teachers trying to help the students. It is a busy and noisy place, but it works.
