                                                                                                      MY FIRST EXPERIENCE IN SCHOOL Delhi Public School (DPS) was a famous society in India with twelve of its private schools spread across Delhi alone. My school, particularly, stood out of them all by strictly following its original mandate to set up higher standards of education, making conscious efforts to turnout outstanding scholars with balanced personalities. DPS, R. K. Puram, was the best in spicing up teaching with games, like Sports and other Extracurricular activities. My first time in school was fun-fil

                                                         The Suicide Attempt All efforts to take my life proved abortive, as Grandma stayed glued to me with comforting words throughout our stay in Mumbai. She was just all over me with lots of pampering and making sure that I was alright. Frequently, she specifically prepared meals and fed me herself. The most embarrassing aspect of the pampering was to bathe me, even at almost age twelve. I permitted her anyway because as it was with me; I was ready to stink for all I care. Had she not insisted that I ate, I would

On one of the nighttime discussions with her husband, Kamala affirmed Amira was the light that came to the family because their livelihood and general wellbeing had improved since she became a part of them. Amira and Kamala grew very fond of each other that they could talk about everything and anything, and tease each other a lot too. Many people admire their kind of friendship, especially after knowing they were not siste

                                                       Sarah regains her memory! By the time Sarah woke up, Anika had left the house with his foster father. She tried to talk about the seemingly embarrassing situation as proof of getting back her memory, but Mr Barad and his wife were unwilling to give her a listening ear mainly because they were trying to ward off the thoughts of reality dawning on them at the time that they wished she stayed longer with them. They were uncertain about what would become of the family if they lose the relationship that they have built with her when she regains her memories. Her presence had brought remarkable growth to the family, and letting her go might be letting go of the aura of blessings around them. Second, they were trying to pro

                                                        WELCOME TO MY WORLD Going back to school welcomed me with the news that Mrs Ava was no longer my class teacher. The school management posted her to a higher class, which should have been the right position in the first place because of her level of academic qualifications. I had the privilege to have her as my teacher because she was standing in for my present class teacher who was yet to take up his post for official reasons, while also awaiting her retiring predecessor to clear her table as she relieves her from duties. So, the management took her to my class to close the gap left by my supposed class teacher till he was ready to take up his post. I don’t have details of why this arrangement had to
