Mathuriyas Ramanujan Classes

We started this place at Tonk Phatak because the area had a lot of students needing help with their numbers. Mathuriyas Ramanujan Classes isn't fancy at all. We have some wooden benches and a big whiteboard that stays a bit stained from the markers we use every day. Usually, the room gets pretty hot in the afternoons, so we keep the fans running on high speed. It gets noisy outside with the traffic from the road, but once the kids sit down, things usually settle into a rhythm. I spend a lot of time just sitting at the front desk checking the registers. Sometimes parents drop by to ask how their kids are doing, and we just talk straight. No big speeches or promises. It’s just about getting the work done on the paper. We’ve been at this address for a while now. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, honestly. One of the lights flickers if you don’t hit the switch just right. Most days start around ten when I open the shutters. The lock gets stuck sometimes. I usually bring my own lunch in a steel tiffin and eat it between the batches of students. It’s a simple setup. We focus on the books and the equations. There isn't much else to it. Sometimes the neighbors complain about the bicycles parked outside, so I have to go out and tell the students to line them up better along the wall. It’s just how things go around here at Tonk Phatak.
