Holy Cross School

If you head out toward P O Durjoy Nagar in Agartala, you’ll find Holy Cross School. We’ve been part of this community for quite a while now. It’s a bit out of the main city center, which gives us a bit of breathing room and some fresh air. The school building is old but it holds up well against the weather. We have a lot of history in these walls, though we don’t spend much time talking about it. We’re more concerned with the day-to-day stuff. The teachers here live nearby, so you often see them walking to work or catching a rickshaw in the morning. It’s a simple setup. We have the classrooms, a bit of ground for the kids to run around on, and the main office where the phones never seem to stop ringing. It gets pretty humid here, especially in the afternoons, so we try to keep the windows open for a breeze. We don’t have much in the way of high-tech gadgets or fancy lounges. It’s a straightforward school for local kids. We handle the registrations, the exams, and the occasional scraped knee on the playground. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. People in Durjoy Nagar know us well enough by now. We don't feel the need to shout about what we do. We just open the gates every morning and get to work. That’s enough for us to keep busy.
