Mohammad Muslim Kureshi

We’ve been here at Madrasa Sadat 235 in Hapur for quite a while now. It’s a busy spot, especially in the mornings when everyone is heading out to start their day. The building isn't anything fancy, just a regular place where Mohammad Muslim Kureshi and the rest of us get through the day's work. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just sit outside on the steps for a bit until it comes back. You get used to the noise of the street after a few years. There’s a small shop nearby where we grab tea most afternoons. We don't really have a big sign or anything like that, but people around here know where we are. Usually, we start early and stay until the sun goes down. Most of the time it’s just about handling whatever comes through the door. We don't spend much time worrying about how things look as long as they get done right. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but that’s not really a priority right now with how much there is to do. My desk is always a bit of a mess with papers and small parts, but I know where everything is. It feels like home because we spend more time here than anywhere else. We’ve known the neighbors for years and sometimes they stop by just to talk about the weather or the local news. It’s just a normal way of living and working in Hapur.
