The Learning Curve, Borivali

Our spot at The Learning Curve in Borivali is on the first floor of the Avirahi Building. It’s right on S.V. Road, so there is never a quiet moment with the cars and buses going past all day. Being right above the Reebok showroom makes it very simple to tell people where to go. You just look for the big signs and head up the stairs. The building is one of those typical commercial structures where everyone is busy doing their own thing. Inside our space, we’ve got colorful mats on the floor and a lot of shelves filled with books and puzzles. The windows look out over the street, so sometimes we just stand there and watch the rush of Borivali West. It gets a little cramped when everyone is here at once, but we make it work by staying organized. The staff usually gathers in the back for a quick break between activities. We don't have a big fancy lobby, just a doorway and some racks for shoes. Cleaning is a big part of the day because the dust from the main road is constant. We spend a lot of time wiping down surfaces and tidying up the blocks that get left around. It’s a practical, everyday kind of place where we just focus on getting through the schedule and making sure everything stays in one piece until closing time. We’re just local people doing our best in a busy city.
