Kalashree Motor Driving School

Out here in Rajgurunagar, Pune, we spend most of our time in cars. The driving school is based at the 410505 zip code area. We have a couple of old hatchbacks that we use for the lessons. The clutches are a bit worn out because beginners are always stalling them. We meet people at the office and then head out to the quieter roads. Pune traffic can be a mess, so we try to find spots where there aren't too many trucks. Our office is just a small room with a desk and some charts about road signs on the wall. The chairs are mismatched and the floor is just plain concrete. Teaching people to drive takes a lot of patience. Some people learn fast and others take a few months to stop being scared of the steering wheel. We don't have a big fleet of shiny cars, just the ones that work. We deal with the paperwork for the licenses too, which means a lot of waiting around. People come to us because we are local and they’ve seen our cars driving slowly around the neighborhood. It’s a basic job but it keeps us busy. We usually start early before the sun gets too hot. There is no air conditioning in the training cars, so we just roll the windows down and get on with it. It’s just about getting from point A to point B safely.
