Puspagiri Public School

Puspagiri Public School is located out in Ukkayapalli, specifically near Chinna Chouk in Kadapa. This part of Cuddapah has changed a bit over the years, but the school stays pretty much the same. We have a gate that stays open in the mornings while the buses and cycles come in. The building itself is sturdy and handles the heat of Kadapa as well as any place can. Inside, the floors are stone and stay relatively cool during the summer months. We have several classrooms for the different grades. Each room has a blackboard and enough seats for the local kids who come here. You can hear the traffic from the main road if you listen closely, but usually, the noise of the students covers it up. We have a small office area where we keep the records and the main phone. It’s not a fancy office, just a desk with some files and a couple of chairs for visitors who stop by. The staff usually brings their own tiffin for lunch. We sit together and talk about mundane things before the afternoon session starts. People from the surrounding areas know the name Puspagiri well enough. It’s just one of those local landmarks in the 516001 zip code area. We don't do anything flashy here. It’s just about getting the lessons done and making sure the kids know their work. By the time the final bell rings at the end of the day, the sun is usually starting to slant across the yard and we get ready to go home.
