Chiranjiv Bharti School

Our school is located in Sector M of Aashiana, right here in Lucknow. It’s a pretty standard neighborhood school. We have a brick building that’s seen a lot of seasons. The paint on the window frames is peeling a little in places, but it doesn't affect the classes. We have a gate at the front where the buses pull up every morning, and that’s always the busiest time of the day. The playground has a couple of swings and a slide that get used constantly. Inside, the hallways are long and can be a bit dark until we turn the lights on. We don't have a lot of fancy decorations, just some student work pinned up on the boards. Aashiana is a busy part of town, but once the gates are closed, it stays relatively quiet inside. We have a staff room where we sit and grade papers while drinking tea from plastic cups. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. The kids are local, mostly from the nearby sectors, so we see the same faces every day. We don't make a big deal out of things. We just follow the schedule and make sure the students are doing their work. It’s a practical place for education, rooted right here in the local community of Lucknow. Some days are harder than others, especially when the fans quit, but we get the repairs done eventually.
