The School Of Science

Out on Kalawad Road in Rajkot, things get pretty busy. Our place, Amrut, is right in the middle of all that activity. We’ve been running The School Of Science here for quite a few years now. It’s a familiar spot for people living in this part of Rajkot. The mornings are usually a rush of rickshaws and parents dropping off their kids before the sun gets too hot. Inside, it’s mostly about the lab equipment and the textbooks. We don’t have much in the way of fancy decorations, just what’s needed for the students to do their work. The building has seen a lot of seasons, and you can tell by the walls, but it serves us well. Most of the staff live nearby, so they walk or ride their scooters in every day. We spend a lot of time talking about physics and chemistry, sometimes until late in the afternoon when the traffic outside starts to pick up again for the evening. It’s a practical kind of place. We don’t really go for all the extra fluff you see in some of the newer schools. It’s just about getting the lessons done and making sure the kids understand what’s on the board. Sometimes the fans are a bit noisy, but nobody seems to mind once the class gets going. It’s just how things are here on Kalawad Road, steady and focused on the day’s work.
