My first day in South Korea

Date -28/08/17

Today we finally left for South Korea in Asiana Airlines around 02:20 a.m. Since it was our first International flight all of us were excited and a bit tensed too.

But then we realised the entire procedure was really simple and everything went well. We reached Incheon Airport in Seoul at 01:13 p.m. Incheon Airport is beautiful and I was really impressed. It is one of the best and most popular airports in the world.

On gate one we recieved a warm welcome by the Gachon University students. On our way to the University we got to see a glimpse of Seoul, a port and the Seongnam city.

It is indeed a beautiful country. One gets to see huge buildings and technology enabled things everywhere and also a lot of greenery all around.

Sujin, our Mentor is very helpful, supportive and frieny. After keeping our stuff she took us to a store nearby to buy things that we needed urgently.

The best part of the day was when our mentors took us to a Korean Restaurant. We got to taste Korean food on the very first day. I couldn't learn to pronunciate their name but the food was delicious.

An exciting day, friendly people, beautiful views, group of Indian friends and a delicious meal - what more could I have asked for my first day in a foreign land. I am simply looking forward to my experience in this beautiful country.

A letter to my happy tear

Sometimes we make things so much bigger in our hearts that it becomes impossible for the events to match our anticipation and even the slightest misdirections to our plans end up grounding them altogether. Exactly an year ago, on October 17, my father-in-law called me and told us that our wedding dates had been fixed. It had been a long-distance courtship but as the luck would have it, we were right there together to celebrate the good news. The next four months were probably the happiest period of my life. Even as I felt lonely without him, I would simply count down our days to the wedding. Soon enough, my joy and excitement became too visible. I don't think I have ever taken care of myself any better. I couldn't wait to get married.  I don't think there was a day I didn't think of him before I ended my day. I simply couldn't wait to be his wife. To his credit, it has all been worth it. Even as we are yet to find our way to a shared roof, Akhil you ...

Remember your champions...

Akhil you know I can't go a long time without writing you love letter but am too lazy to visit a post office..so this one is for you... Everytime I am told I am stupid for choosing my passion, I just wanna look at you, remind myself and know we got this and will always find a way... Every time I feel alone or down, seek validation or feel the need to prove myself or my worth...I may take my time but ultimately every ride has taught me how I have my biggest champion at home. Chahe uss din wo kitchen mein bitaye 12 ghante hon ya hours spent on the most basic blog...even if noone else could see, you were the one cheering me on. Even if you were the one taking care of it all, you always ensured I knew we were a team.  At a time, when I almost felt invisible, u were the one who reminded me I mattered. Listened to my rants and then scolded me when u could not see me stay sad anymore. Even if a part of me was torn, you made sure I finally had fun at a wedding.  When I fel...

Navigating the tug between love & identity

It is so much easier for the world to see what a man contributes but a woman's struggles often remain her silent bouts.  The standards are literally so low for a man, not being abusive makes them amazing. For women, standards are so high that even standing up for themselves becomes a problem. What a woman does is probably only visible to her partner and mother. Because it is the only place we can safely cry and share our perspective.  Recently we went for a dinner where I was told, in a lighter note, how lucky I was to have my husband. I would never say otherwise. I always thank God for him and noone is more aware of what he brings to the table. But, despite being his biggest champion, it suddenly dawned on me how in the seven months of my marriage I have literally seen everyone say the same thing yet I have never heard anyone say he is probably lucky to have me too.  While he remains my biggest champion and sees through every single night of my struggle, tear and strengt...
