Jyoti Public School

Being at Jyoti Public School in Aman Nagar means dealing with the usual Jalandhar City traffic every single morning. We are at 1 A, right in the thick of things. The school building is an older one, but it holds up. You can hear the city sounds from the windows, like the horns and people shouting nearby. We spend our mornings checking that everyone’s uniform is mostly straight, though by ten o'clock, most of the shirts are tucked out anyway. The staff room is always a bit crowded because we have so many notebooks to go through. We drink a lot of chai to keep going. Some of the windows don't open quite right, but we manage. In the winter, the morning fog in Jalandhar makes everything look a bit gray until the sun finally breaks through the clouds. We have a small area where the kids play during the break, and it gets pretty dusty when they start running around. It’s just a normal school where people work hard. There is no big secret to what we do. We just open the gates, teach the lessons, and make sure the kids get home safely when the bell rings at the end of the day. Some days are longer than others, especially when there’s a lot of paperwork. But we’ve been here in this neighborhood for a long time now. It is a practical place for families who live around the city center.
