Physics Power

Borivali West 6 is a busy area, especially in the evenings when everyone is coming home from work or school. Our place, Physics Power, is right in the middle of all that activity. I usually get here around three in the afternoon to get things ready. The room isn't very large, so we have to be careful about how we arrange the chairs so everyone can see the board. I’ve lived in this part of the city for years, and I know most of the families whose kids come here. We don't use any fancy software or screens; it’s just me, a board, and some chalk. Sometimes the dust from the chalk gets on my clothes, but I’ve gotten used to it. The windows look out over the street, so you can see the rickshaws passing by all day. I have a small cabinet where I keep the test papers and some spare notebooks for the students. It’s a bit of a climb up the stairs, which is good exercise I guess. The fan in the back makes a bit of a clicking noise, but no one seems to notice once we start working. We have a short break halfway through where the kids usually go down to get a snack. It’s a simple life, just teaching day after day and making sure the syllabus is finished on time without making too much of a fuss about it.
