Khetromohan Primary School

Being on the ground floor at 190 Jodhpur Garden makes things easy for the smaller kids. Khetromohan Primary School isn't a huge place, but it fits what we need. Jodhpur Garden is a bit quieter than the main roads, which is nice. You can hear birds sometimes if the traffic isn't too bad. We open up early, usually before the sun gets too hot. The children come from the nearby houses, mostly walking with their parents. There’s a bit of a rush at the door in the mornings. Inside, we have our desks and the blackboard. It’s a simple setup. We spend a lot of time just keeping things organized. The floor gets a bit dusty with all the feet coming in and out. During lunch, the kids sit together and eat their tiffins. You can smell different types of food in the air. We don't have fancy air conditioning, just the big fans that hum. Sometimes a ball gets kicked into the hallway and someone has to go get it. By the time it's two or three o'clock, the place is empty again. We tidy up the benches and get ready for the next day. It’s a small community here in this part of Kolkata. Everything is very local and straightforward. We know most of the people living around this building. It is a quiet street and the neighbors don't mind the noise much.
