Global Indian International School

The school sits out in Peerzadiguda, not far from Uppal. If you have ever driven past Survey No 8 and 9, you have probably seen our main gates. It is a large building, and keeping the whole place clean is a never-ending job for the cleaners. The floors always seem to have a few scuff marks from the shoes of hundreds of students running around. Every morning, there is a big rush at the entrance as parents drop off their children. The security guards have a tough time managing the motorcycles and cars during that hour. Once the bell rings, the hallways get quiet for a bit, which is a nice change of pace. We have a lot of rooms to look after, and sometimes the ceiling fans make a clicking noise that we have to get someone to fix. The canteen smells like sambar and rice around noon, and that is usually when the noise levels peak again. We have some trees near the boundary wall, and a few birds usually hang out there. It is a typical Hyderabad setting, a bit dusty but very lively. The staff here is mostly local people who have been working in education for many years. We do not have a lot of time for formalities because there is always a ledger to update or a parent waiting at the front desk. Life here is mostly about managing the schedule and making sure everything works.
