Green Light Secondary School

Out here in Dilshad Colony, at F-161/163, things are always moving. The Main Road is right there, so there is always the sound of rickshaws and buses. Green Light Secondary School has been part of this street for a good bit now. The building is right on the edge of the road, so we see everyone passing by. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze sometimes when parents are dropping off their kids. Delhi is crowded, and this spot is no different. The rooms are basic. We have chalkboards and old wooden desks that have seen a lot of use. The paint is peeling a bit in the corners, but we don't mind much. It’s an honest place. We don't have big posters or shiny advertisements. Just the name on the wall. The morning sun hits the front of the building pretty hard. We have a lot of stairs and the corridors are usually full of the sound of voices. It’s not quiet, but it’s real. We are just a local school in the middle of a busy colony. Every day is the same routine of opening up, getting the lessons started, and making sure the gate is shut properly. We’re just people from the neighborhood working here. It’s a secondary school, so the students are a bit older and louder. We just try to keep things steady here at 110095. It’s a long day, but we just get through it together.
