The Gurukul School

We are tucked away in Sector 29, over in the Panchkula Extension area. It is a bit of a drive out to Nagalmoginand, but it is quieter out here than in the middle of the main town. The school sits right near Tribune Mitra Vihar. We have got a decent amount of space for the kids to run around during their breaks. The building itself is straightforward, mostly concrete and brick with plenty of windows for light. We spend our mornings getting things ready before the students arrive from Maheshpur and other nearby spots. It is a lot of work keeping a school running, from fixing leaky taps to making sure the chalkboards are clean. We do not have a huge staff, so everyone chips in with different tasks throughout the day. Sometimes the secretary is helping with a scraped knee, or the gardener is moving desks for a class. That is just how we do things here. The classrooms are filled with the usual stuff like wooden desks, posters, and stacks of notebooks. It is not a shiny, high-tech place, but it feels lived in and comfortable. We have been here for a while, watching the neighborhood grow up around us. There is a lot of green around the edges of the property. In the afternoons, when the kids leave, it gets very still. We usually stay late to finish up the grading and planning. It is a regular part of the Panchkula landscape.
