Hey. Thanks for the reply.
So I declared a variable at the project suite level and tried accessing it in my script using 

newva = ProjectSuite.Variables.VariablebyName("Varname")

 where Varname is my suite level variable. It returns null when i try to print it. Is there another way through which I can access the suite level variable?
