My Journey as an exchange student begins

Date - 27/08/2017

I am an undergraduate student of Shoolini University. I am going for a Student Exchange Program in this semester to Gachon University in South Korea.

Today with our flight from Dharamshala to Delhi my journey began. But actually this process started around three months back when I submitted my application and applied for the passport.

I came across many hurdles in this process. When we were finally relaxed that everything has been done, situation in the neighbouring states got critical. We weren't worried so much about reaching Seoul as much as we were worried about reaching our National Capital to catch out flight.

Finally, in the morning when our air tickets to Delhi got confirmed we finally took a sigh of relief. Our parents made sure despite all the odds we reach Delhi on time and everything goes smoothly.

All the hard work is finally worth it. I still remember 14th July of this year. It was the birthday of my favourite teacher and I saw the email confirming my selection in the Student Exchange.    

I had already assumed that my application had been cancelled because I submitted my Passport really late. But when I saw that email, I just could not believe it.

 I got so excited that it took me around an hour to finally digest and contain this good news. I just felt on top of the world. It is my first trip abroad and the biggest thing of my Life so far.

We have finally reached Delhi Airport and today I invite you to accompany me in my journey as an Exchange Student Program. Stay tuned.

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...

Mrs - A subtle, yet powerful take on domesticated patriarchy

I know I am late to the party but I instantly joined the fan club. A take on the silent, and mostly unacknowledged, labour of women in a family, Mrs takes us through the journey of a modern woman as she tries to find her place in the new family after marriage. The film broadly shows daily routine of a family almost on a loop -- wherein men go to work, exercise and enjoy, while women of the house find themselves stuck in the kitchen throughout the day and year.  At one point, the loop begins to feel repetitive, but it serves well to highlight the monotony in a woman's life -- through the protagonist, Richa (played by Sanya Malhotra), and her mother in law. The two scenes about a woman guest taking Richa's stand; and her friend's husband helping in the chores offer a refreshing contrast to the Kumars, who illustrate a typical patriarchal mindset.  Sanya nailed as Richa, as her character's silent compliance with her husband and in-laws demands speaks volumes about her rep...
