Edu Villa Jee

Edu Villa Jee is located at B 64 on Kapoorthala Road in the Aliganj area of Lucknow. We are on the floor right above the Indusind Bank in Sector B. It’s a very recognizable spot because of the bank, which helps when people are trying to find us for the first time. The road outside is usually quite busy with people going to work or running errands. Climbing the stairs to our office, you leave the noise of the street behind a bit, though you can still hear the muffled sound of cars. The space inside is divided into several rooms where we spend most of our hours. I usually arrive before the bank opens to get things settled. The desks are lined up in rows, and there’s a small area near the entrance where people can leave their shoes or umbrellas. It’s a no-nonsense kind of place. We have a water cooler that gurgles loudly every time someone takes a drink, and the lights are those long tube ones that flickered a bit until we changed the starters last month. It’s a comfortable enough place to spend an afternoon studying. The staff here are just regular people from the neighborhood. We don’t put on any acts; we just show up, do our work, and help the students with their lessons. It’s a steady, quiet routine that we’ve grown quite fond of.
