Daksh Public School

Our school, Daksh Public School, is located in Haspura. We are very close to the cinema hall, which is the main thing people look for when they are coming to visit us. Having a cinema nearby means there is usually a crowd or some music playing later in the day. Haspura is a lively place to be. The school building is tucked in there among the other local shops and houses. It is not a very big area, so everything feels a bit cramped sometimes, but we make it work. Every morning, we open up the doors and wait for the kids to come walking in from the nearby streets. Most of them live just a few minutes away. We do not have a lot of high-tech stuff; it is mostly just blackboards, wooden benches, and old-fashioned teaching. The staff sits together in a small office to discuss the day’s plans over some biscuits and tea. Sometimes the projector acts up or a light bulb flickers, and we just fix it and keep going. It is a very hands-on kind of place. We do not try to pretend to be something we are not. It is just a school for the kids in Haspura to get their lessons done. When the movies let out at the cinema hall, the whole street gets very busy, but by then we are usually heading home ourselves.
