Class 21A

This spot in Sushant Lok Phase 1 has been our base for a bit. We’re right on the main road at C-1070. Vyapar Kendra is just a short walk away, which is very handy when someone needs to grab a quick snack or get some notes photocopied. The building is just a standard Gurgaon house that’s been converted into a space for classes. It feels a bit like a home, which is fine for us and the students. We have a couple of rooms where we sit and go over lessons. There’s always a bit of dust from the road construction nearby, but that’s just something you live with in this city. The chairs are mismatched sometimes, and we have a whiteboard that’s seen better days and doesn't wipe clean easily. We don’t have a front desk person or a fancy lobby to wait in. People just walk in and find a seat in whatever room is open. We spend the afternoons going through math problems or working on English grammar. It’s pretty quiet usually, except for when the kids are on a break and they start chatting about their day. We keep a few plants by the window, but we forget to water them more often than we should. It’s just a practical, no-nonsense place to get some extra help with schoolwork. No one wears a suit or tries to look corporate here. We just wear our regular clothes and get on with the teaching.
