Hope Tutorial

We are located right across from the Sriram Mandir on the way to the station. You can hear the temple bells and the traffic from Water Works Road all day long. It is a very busy spot in Puri. The tutorial is in a building that has definitely seen better days, but it is sturdy enough for what we do. I like being near the station because it makes it easy for people to find us when they are coming into town. The rooms are a bit small, and the walls have some marks where we moved the heavy wooden desks around last year. I usually keep a bottle of water on my desk because the sea air in Puri makes everything feel a bit salty and dry. The students usually come in after their regular school hours are over. It gets pretty loud around 4 PM when everyone arrives at once. I have been running this place for a while now and I remember when this road was not so crowded with bikes. Sometimes the smell of incense from the temple across the street comes inside, which is nice. We do not have any fancy computers, just some old desks and a few cupboards filled with stacks of notes. I try to keep the place tidy, but there is always some scrap paper on the floor. The stairs are a bit steep, so you have to be careful when you are coming up.
