Baba Ram Lal Public School

We’ve been over here on Street No 1 for a while now. Baba Ram Lal Public School is right at Plot No 50. Most people in Friends Colony know where it is because we’ve been part of the landscape for years. The building isn't fancy, but it does the job for the kids around here. We try to keep things running smooth every morning when the gates open. Hyderabad weather gets really hot, so we have some shade for the students during their breaks. Some of us have been working here for a long time and we know the families well. You’ll see parents dropping off their kids on scooters mostly. The street gets a bit crowded at dismissal time, but that’s just how it is in Manikonda. We aren't trying to be the biggest school in the city. We are just a local place for the neighborhood children to learn their lessons and play. Sometimes we have to fix a desk or repaint a wall, but it feels like home for us. If you’re walking through the 500089 area, you’ve probably passed by our front gate. We don't have a big fancy sign, just the name out front. It's a simple setup. We focus on the books and the classes. There’s always noise coming from the playground during lunch. That's the part of the day we actually like, seeing them run around. We just keep doing what we do every day. It's a lot of work but it feels right.
