Persuing M E

Our place is over at Plot No. 6 in the Vidyadeep Housing Society, Dhankawadi. It’s under the care of S. D. Chaudhari. Pune is a busy city, but our little corner in Dhankawadi is relatively calm most days. Persuing M E is basically a small hub for master’s level engineering students. It’s not a big institution with glass windows. It’s more of a community spot where people come to study and share their notes. We have a lot of old journals and technical papers lying around on every surface. The desks are a bit scratched up from years of use, but they serve their purpose well enough. We don’t have a secretary or a lobby. If you come by, you’ll probably just find one of us hunched over a drawing or a computer screen. We use a landline because the mobile signal can be a bit spotty inside the building sometimes. It’s an old-school way of doing things, but it works for us. We drink a lot of tea and talk about projects. It’s a very focused atmosphere, but not a stressful one. We try to help each other out with the tough parts of the M E curriculum. The neighborhood is quiet, which really helps when you need to concentrate on complex work. We aren’t looking for fame or big profits. We just want to get through our degrees and help others do the same. It’s a humble setup, but it’s ours.
