My journey as a student begins in a British boarding school, although adding the word British is inappropriate today. Then, India was under the British Raj and St. Paul s School, Darjeeling, located at the foothills of the Kanchenjunga, a place for the British aristocrats and India s Royal s. It was known at that time as Eton of the East. Much has changed since then because of the political turmoil in the region.
