Kiran Model Academy

Kiran Model Academy is right on College Road. It’s a busy stretch of road and there’s always a lot of traffic, especially in the mornings when everyone is heading to work or school. Our building is an older one, but it serves its purpose. We spend a lot of time trying to keep the noise from the street out so the students can actually hear what’s being said. The hallways are a bit narrow and the paint is peeling a little in the corners, but we try to keep things organized. I usually get here early to open the main gates and check the classrooms. We have a small staff room where we drink tea and talk about the day’s schedule. It’s not a corporate environment; it’s more of a place where everyone knows everyone else. The desks are the old-fashioned wooden kind that sometimes creak when you sit down. We don't have a big budget for decorations, so the walls just have a few maps and charts pinned up. During the monsoon, the roof leaks a tiny bit near the entrance, so we have to put a bucket out. It’s just the way it is with these old buildings. We’ve been on College Road for years and we’ve seen the shops around us change many times, but we’re still here doing the same thing every day. It's a lot of work, but we are used to the routine.
