Bookhive Classes

Bookhive Classes is over at L 276 in the Baramunda Housing Board Colony. We are right in the heart of the residential area here in Bhubaneshwar, zip code 751003. The space is exactly what you’d expect for a local study center. It’s a couple of rooms that we’ve filled with as many books as we could fit. There are stacks of textbooks in the corners and some old magazines on the side table for anyone waiting. We use simple wooden chairs and tables that are sturdy but definitely have some scratches on them from years of use. The lighting is just standard fluorescent bulbs that hum a little bit if you listen closely. We don't have a big staff or a fancy website. It’s mostly just one or two people keeping things running and making sure the students have what they need for their exams. The windows stay open most of the time to let in a breeze, though that means we get some of the noise from the street outside. It’s a very casual atmosphere. People come in, find a spot, and start their work. We have a small cupboard where we keep some chalk and extra pens. There isn't any air conditioning, so the ceiling fans stay on high all through the summer months. It’s just a honest place for learning without any of the extra fluff you see in the bigger, more expensive institutes in the city.
