Krishna Driving School

Teaching people how to drive around here is always an adventure. We are located over in Nirman Nagar, right near the Shyam Nagar area on Vijay Marg Extension. It’s a decent spot because there are some quieter lanes where beginners can practice before they have to face the main road traffic on Janpath. We have a few older cars that have seen a lot of learners. The clutches are a bit worn out, but that’s just part of the process when you're learning. We sit in the office, which is really just a small room with a couple of plastic chairs and some charts on the wall showing road signs. Most of our day is spent out on the road, watching people stall the engine or forget which way to turn the wheel. It takes a lot of patience. Some students get it right away and others take weeks just to stop being scared of the brake. We see all kinds of people coming through. Young kids finally turning eighteen and older folks who never got around to learning before. It’s dusty work and the summer heat makes the car cabins feel like ovens, but we keep the windows down and get on with it. The neighborhood has changed a lot since we started, with more buildings going up every month. We just keep our small sign out front and wait for the next person who wants to learn how to handle a steering wheel.
