                                                              ---OISHIKA KAR, ISC 2019

                                                        DPS  Newtown  has  been  a  home


                                                        to   me    since     I   stepped       into    the

                                                        campus        back      in   middle      school.

                                                        I   had   changed         nine    schools       by

                                                        then     since      my     parents        had     a

                                                        transferrable             job.       However,

                                                        little   did    I   know      that     Kolkata,

                                                        the     city    of    joy     had      its   own

                                                        shades        to   offer.     I   won’t     deny

                                                        that     the     biggest        challenge          I

                                                        faced      having      landed       here     was

                                                        that    of   a   culture     shock.      Having


                                                        come  to  live  in  the  eastern  part

                                                        of  India  for  the  first  time  ever,  I

                                                        had     to   get    accustomed            to   the

                                                        ways        of     life    of     what       was

                                                        seemingly a new world for me.




                                                        Thankfully         what      got    me     going

                                                        through       tough       times      were      my

                                                        friends          and          the        lasting


                                                        memories           that     I    made        with

                                                        them.
