Sravani Dyanavapally

You can find us over at the office of the Director of Collegiate Education in Nampally. Hyderabad is a big city, but Nampally has its own old-school charm that I really like. Being in this specific building means we are right in the thick of things. It’s a busy place with people constantly coming and going for various administrative reasons. My name is Sravani, and I’ve been working from this location for quite some time now. The building itself is one of those sturdy old structures that has seen a lot of history. Inside, it's pretty much what you'd expect—lots of files, people talking about education policies, and the general hum of a government area. I have a small corner where I manage my work. It’s not a private luxury office, but it gets the job done. The commute can be tough during the rainy season because Nampally roads get quite crowded. I usually grab a tea from the stall nearby when I need a break. It’s a very grounded environment. We don’t have much in the way of decoration; it’s all very functional and practical. We spend our days dealing with paperwork and helping people navigate whatever they came here for. It’s not glamorous, but it’s real work that feels important to the community here. We just take it one day at a time and try to stay organized in the middle of all the activity.
