Fam School

Fam School is out in Shamshabad, which is part of the Rangareddy district. Our address is Plot No 18 and it is a fairly quiet spot compared to the city. You can hear the planes taking off from the airport every now and then. The 501218 area gets extremely hot in the summer months, so the building can feel a bit like an oven. We have plain walls and simple blackboards in the rooms. Most of the children who come here live in the nearby houses and they usually walk to the gate. We have a small shed where the teachers park their scooters. The morning bell is a bit rusty but it still makes a loud sound. We usually start the day by cleaning the chalkboards and getting the registers ready. There is a small shop down the street where we go to get tea in the afternoon. Fam School isn't a massive place, just a few rooms and a small courtyard. We have to fix the water pipes sometimes because they are quite old. The office is tucked away in a corner and it is usually full of stacks of paper. It feels like a very local place where everyone knows each other. We just do our daily tasks and go home when the sun starts to set. It is a simple life here in Shamshabad.
