Shaha Classes

Our place is located right in Shaniwar Peth. If you know Kolhapur well, you know this area is always moving. Shaha Classes has been sitting here for a bit, right in the middle of all the noise and activity. It’s a plain building, nothing too special to look at from the outside, but it works for what we need. Inside, we just have the basic setup. Benches, some whiteboards, and a few cupboards for the books. It gets quite dusty sometimes because of the main road, so we spend a lot of time cleaning up before the first batch arrives. We usually start early in the day. You’ll see us opening the shutters while the tea stalls nearby are just getting their stoves ready. It’s a decent spot to be in because everything is close by. We don’t have a big team of people running things. Usually, it’s just one or two of us handling the desk and the classes. We try to keep the atmosphere quiet enough for studying, though the horns outside don’t always help. There’s no big philosophy here. We just teach the subjects, answer questions, and try to keep things organized. Most of the parents who come by are from the neighborhood. They like that they can just walk over and talk to us directly without any fuss or appointments. It’s a straightforward way to run things and we like it that way. We just keep our heads down and get through the day, one lesson at a time.
