Ewing Christian College

We’ve been here at Gau Ghat in Allahabad for a long time now. People around here know the spot well, right by the water. The college has these old buildings that have seen a lot of seasons. It gets really busy in the mornings when everyone starts arriving. We don’t have fancy stuff everywhere, just regular classrooms and some dusty books, but it works for the students. The walk down the street to get here is pretty familiar to most of us by now. Sometimes the fans in the halls make a lot of noise, and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint if we ever got around to it. It’s just a normal place where people come to learn and get their degrees so they can move on to whatever is next in their lives. We see a lot of faces come and go every year. Some stay in touch, others we never hear from again after they get their papers. The tea stalls nearby are always packed during the breaks. It’s a bit of a crowded area, but that’s just how Allahabad is. We try to keep things running smooth, even when the power goes out or it gets too hot in the summer months. It’s not a complicated setup, just a school doing what it’s supposed to do for the community here in Uttar Pradesh. Most days are just about getting through the lessons and making sure the gates are locked on time.
