Bawanbari International School

We are over here in Eka Block, right in the middle of Firozabad. Bawanbari International School is basically where we spend most of our daylight hours. It gets pretty loud once the kids show up in the morning. Most of us have been working here for a while, so we know the families around the Eka area. It’s not a fancy setup, just a regular school building where we try to keep the fans running and the blackboards clean. You’ll find us on the main road, and usually, there’s some dust from the traffic. We spend a lot of time on paperwork and making sure the registers are marked correctly. The kids come from all over the block. Some walk, some come on those little rickshaws. During the breaks, the courtyard is just a mess of noise and running. We have to keep telling them to slow down. The teachers usually huddle in the small staff room with their tiffin boxes. It’s a lot of work, honestly. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just have to open the windows wider. We’ve got some trees in the corner that give a bit of shade, which is nice in the summer. It’s just how it is here. We open the gates early, see the kids through their lessons, and then lock up when the sun starts going down. It’s a steady routine that doesn't change much year to year.
