Mahe Manipal University

We've been here in Mangalore for a while now, tucked away near the coast. Our spot at 575 006 S is usually pretty busy with students coming and going all day. It gets quite warm in this part of Karnataka, so we spend a lot of time making sure things stay organized inside the buildings. There are always people around, whether they are heading to a lecture or just grabbing something to eat nearby. Dealing with the university crowd is interesting because you see folks from all over the country. Sometimes the rain in Mangalore makes it hard to get around, but we manage to keep things moving. We don't really do anything fancy here, just get on with the daily tasks that a large place like Mahe Manipal University needs. Most of us who work here live pretty close by, so the commute isn't too bad unless the traffic gets stuck near the main gates. You can hear the sounds of the city and the students chatting through the windows most afternoons. It is a lot of work to keep a campus running, but it feels good to be part of the local community. We know the shopkeepers down the road and they know us. It’s just how life goes in this corner of the world, keeping busy and watching the years pass by as new batches of kids arrive and others leave. We hope to keep doing this for many more seasons to come.
