Akshar School

Akshar School is over at Plot No 96 in Bolarum. If you’ve been around this part of Hyderabad, you know it’s a bit quieter than the main city areas but still gets its share of traffic during the rush hours. We have been sitting on this plot for a good while. The building isn't anything you’d see in a magazine, just a solid place with enough rooms for the kids to sit and do their work every day. Every morning, the gates open around 8:00 and things get moving pretty fast with the staff and students arriving. We have a lot of benches that have seen better days, but they do the job just fine. You can hear the teachers talking from the street sometimes when the windows are open to let some air in. Bolarum has a lot of families who have been here for generations, so we see a lot of familiar faces coming through the gates. It’s not just about the books, though that’s most of what we do. We also have a bit of space outside where they run around during the breaks. It gets quite dusty, especially when the wind picks up, but the kids don’t seem to mind much. We don't really do the big flashy events that some other schools do. We just focus on getting through the syllabus and making sure everyone shows up on time. It's a lot of work keeping up with it all.
