A V N Vida International School

A V N Vida International School is out in Gopan Pally, not too far from the main Gachibowli area. It’s an interesting place to be because that part of the city is growing so fast. Our building sits there among all the new construction and the dusty roads. Every morning, the buses roll in and the place goes from being quiet to being completely packed with noise. We don’t have anything too flashy, just standard classrooms with whiteboards and rows of desks that get shifted around a lot. The staff room is usually a bit of a mess with piles of papers and half-empty water bottles. We try to keep the hallways clear, but with so many kids moving between classes, it’s always a bit of a struggle. The canteen area smells like whatever they’re cooking for lunch, usually something simple like rice and dal. In the afternoons, the sun beats down on the playground and it gets really bright. We spend a lot of time just making sure the schedule stays on track and that the students are where they should be. It’s a lot of walking up and down the stairs for us. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a bit, so we just open the windows and keep going. It’s a busy life here in Gopan Pally, and we’re just part of the daily routine for all the families who live nearby. We usually have a lot to do before the final bell rings.
