Danda Motor Driving School

Driving in Mumbai is never easy, especially around Khar West. That is where we set up our office, right in the 400052 zip code. We have a couple of cars that are always out on the road. They aren't brand new, but we keep the engines running smooth and the brakes sharp. Teaching someone to drive in this traffic takes a lot of patience. We spend our days sitting in the passenger seat, watching the feet of nervous learners. The office is small, just a table, a few chairs, and a lot of forms piled up. There is a map of the local streets pinned to the wall, though most of us know them by heart now. We deal with the RTO paperwork and all that boring stuff so the students don't have to worry too much. It gets dusty with the windows down all day. By the time evening comes, our legs are usually tired from hitting the dual pedals. People come to us because they want to get through the city without bumping into anything. We don't make big promises, just try to get them comfortable with the clutch and the gears. Sometimes the car stalls in the middle of a busy junction, and we just have to laugh and try again. It's a slow process, but that's how you learn. We’ve been in Khar for a long time now.
