As part of a class exploring symbols and metaphors, this zine delves into the residential tapestry of SFS 208, Yelahanka—a Bangalore neighborhood with a long history of hosting PGs and student living spaces because of surrounding colleges. 
Even within the familiar ambiance of Yelahanka, a student's encounters shed light on nuanced challenges through this zine.
Despite the emotional connection students share with the locality, frequenting local shops, and building a sense of belonging, the experiences narrate a tale that spans from navigating diverse cultural dynamics to struggling with safety concerns. 
This emphasizes the complexity of the environment, where beyond the surface of apparent familiarity, various challenges quietly influence the experience.
How can these familiar spaces be transformed into truly welcoming environments for everyone?
