Guru College

We are over here at No. 5 Bentinck Street in Kolkata. If you know this part of the city, you know how busy it gets every single day. The traffic on the street is always loud, and there is a lot of shouting from the shops nearby. We’ve been at this spot for a while now. The building is older, but it works for what we need. Most mornings start with unlocking the front gate and making sure the rooms are ready for the day. There is usually some dust because of the heavy traffic and construction work nearby, so we spend a lot of time just cleaning up. It’s not a fancy place with shiny glass walls or anything like that. It’s just a set of rooms where people come to learn. Sometimes the fans make a bit of noise, and the stairs are a little narrow when everyone is trying to leave at the same time. We don’t have a big marketing team or a flashy website. It is just a few of us here making sure the classes happen on time. People find us because they live nearby or they walk past our sign on their way to work. It’s a bit cramped when the afternoon batches arrive, but we make it work somehow. Kolkata heat can be tough in the summer, especially on this road, but we have enough cold water for everyone. It is just a normal school day for us.
