First I was studying in Oman . Suddenly my father was transferred to Salalah. My
father was getting transferred again and again . It was difficult for me to go to school.
So my father told me “Go and study in India. That is good for you”. So I came to India
. I came to my father’s house in Trichur . My father told me to stay in hostel. So my
brother took me to Benchmark and Peevees Public School and asked which school I
liked ,which school I preferred . I said Peevees Public School . Next day I took admis-
sion here in Peevees. I joined Peevees on the 31st of May to stay in hostel . First day I
was very sad and I was crying to see my parents . After 1 week I got adjusted with the
My Life hostel life . My friends were Rihan ,Purich , Salman,Abdullah, Issam , Nihal , Krish-
