R D Tiwari School

R D Tiwari School sits right there in Amapara, Raipur, and if you know the Great Eastern Road, you know how busy it gets around here. We have been part of this neighborhood for a long time now. The building is just a regular place where we show up every morning to get things ready for the day. You can always hear the traffic hum from the main road while we are sweeping the front steps or fixing the benches in the classrooms. Raipur gets pretty hot in the summer months, so we spend a lot of time making sure the fans are working and there is enough water for everyone. It is not a fancy setup, just some sturdy walls and old wooden desks that have seen better days but still do the job. We don't have a lot of big signs or anything like that because most people in Amapara already know where we are. Sometimes the dust from the road blows in through the open windows, but we just wipe it off and keep going with our work. Most of us who work here live nearby, so we just walk or take a cycle to the school. It is a simple routine of opening the heavy gates in the morning and locking them up again once the sun starts to go down over Chhattisgarh. We just try to keep the place tidy and make sure the roof doesn't leak when the monsoon rains finally hit the city.
