College Lecturer

Living in Kowdiar and working as a lecturer means my days start pretty early. Trivandrum is a nice place but the traffic gets heavy near the junction. I spend most of my time here in this part of Thiruvananthapuram, mostly dealing with students and preparing notes. It isn't a fancy setup. The office is just a regular room where I keep my books and old papers. Sometimes people stop by to ask about admissions or just to talk about the subjects. It gets quite humid here, especially in the afternoons, so the fan is always running. Most of the folks around Kowdiar know me as the college lecturer who’s always carrying a stack of files. I’ve been doing this for a while now. The building is okay, nothing special to look at, but it does the job. My routine is basically the same every week. I walk from the main road to reach here. It’s a quiet enough area when the classes aren't in session. I handle the paperwork myself and try to keep things organized, even though my desk usually looks like a mess of red pens and marked assignments. There’s a tea shop nearby where I get my morning chai before the first bell rings. It’s just a normal life, teaching the younger crowd and trying to get them through their exams without too much trouble. That’s pretty much how things go here at my place in Thiruvananthapuram.
