Choithram School

We've been here on Manik Bagh Road for a good while now. Most people know us because we're right near the Malhar Martand building. In the mornings, the road gets pretty busy with parents dropping off their kids and the local shops starting to open up. It’s a lively spot. The school building itself has seen a lot of students pass through over the years. We spend our days mostly keeping things moving, making sure the classrooms are ready and the grounds stay tidy. There's always someone coming in to ask about something or just dropping off a lunchbox that got left behind at home. Our staff usually takes their breaks together in the small back room when things quiet down for a bit. It’s not a fancy place, but it works for what we do every day. You can hear the sounds of the neighborhood clearly from the windows, especially when there's a festival or just the usual evening rush. We focus on getting through the syllabus and making sure the kids have what they need for their lessons. Sometimes the fans are a bit loud, or the stairs feel a bit steep after a long afternoon, but that’s just how it is. We’ve grown used to the rhythm of this part of town and the people who live around here. It feels like a part of the local furniture by now, just a regular place where people come to learn and work.
