Dashmesh Modern School

People in New Pratap Nagar probably know where we are already. We’ve been sitting here in Amritsar for a good while now, just running the school day to day. It is not a very fancy place with glass walls or anything like that. We have the usual brick buildings and a gate that squeaks a little when you open it in the morning. Dashmesh Modern School is really just a local spot for the kids nearby to come and get their lessons done. The teachers here live mostly around the same neighborhood, so everybody knows everybody. We start the day with the assembly and then it’s just the sound of chalk on boards and kids talking in the hallways. Sometimes the playground gets a bit dusty when the wind picks up, but that is just how it is in this part of town. We don’t try to be something we aren't. We just make sure there are enough benches for the students and that the fans are working when it gets hot in the summer. Parents drop their kids off on scooters, and we see the same faces every day. It’s a busy routine but we are used to it by now. We focus on the books and making sure the homework gets checked. It’s just a regular school doing regular things for the families living around Pratapnagar. Nothing more, nothing less.
