Amar Jyoti Sishu Middle School

We’ve been here at Kubera Towers for a while now. It’s right on the Narayana Guda Main Road, so it gets pretty loud with all the traffic out there. Amar Jyoti Sishu Middle School isn’t a huge place, but we make it work. Most days, you’ll find the teachers trying to keep the kids quiet in the hallways while the cars honk outside. It’s a busy part of Himayat Nagar. The building is mostly offices, so we share the space with a lot of different people. It’s interesting seeing the mix of people coming in and out of the towers. We have a few rooms set up for the middle schoolers. It’s mostly about getting through the day’s lessons and making sure everyone has what they need. Sometimes the elevator is slow, so we just take the stairs. The kids don't mind much, they have more energy than us anyway. We’ve seen a lot of families come through here over the years. Hyderabad is changing fast, and this road is always under some kind of construction or just packed with buses. We just keep doing our thing, marking papers and talking to parents who stop by after work. It’s just a normal school day for us, nothing fancy. We try to keep the classrooms tidy, but with kids, it’s always a bit of a mess by three o'clock. That’s just how it goes here in this part of the city.
