Irshadiyya Dawa College

People always ask where we are exactly. Irshadiyya Dawa College is out here in P.O. Kumaranellur, in the Mavara Palakkad district. It’s a bit of a drive to get to Edappal, but once you are here, it’s just a normal college day. You see the students walking around between classes. Most days it is pretty quiet until the breaks start. We spend a lot of time just keeping the place running. The address is Palakkad - 679552 if you are looking it up on a map. Sometimes the internet is a bit slow out here, but we manage. It isn’t some fancy high-tech place, just a college where things happen one day at a time. We have the usual desks and chairs, and the hallways get quite dusty when the wind picks up. It’s funny how you get used to the sounds of the local area. There is always someone coming by the gate to ask for directions or just to say hello. Working here at Mavara, you see the seasons change quite clearly. The rain really hits the roof loud during the monsoon and everything turns very green. Anyway, that is pretty much what it’s like. We just open the doors and get to work every morning like everyone else in the area. It’s a simple setup but it works for what we need to do. There are always papers to grade or things to fix around the building. You just keep going.
