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 day full of birthdays

Date - 20/09/2017 Today was Deepika Di's, Aizhan Aappa's and Anu Manhotra Ma'am's birthday.  Deepika Di was my senior in Shoolini. She was one of the seniors I have always admired and looked upto. Wishing her a happy birthday was one of the first things I did today. She is intelligent, confident, classy, beautiful, helpful and a sweetheart. I haven't known her for a very long time but it has been a great experience to know her.  I got to know about Aappa's birthday through facebook. I wasn't sure what to do. I was thinking about it all day. I had just planned to gift her a small choco pie which I had but then did not felt like gifting that alone.  I just thought that probably a letter with some birthday wishes would seem nice. I don't have any clues about Kazakh so I took a little help from Google.  I just wrote happy birthday in Kazakh and the entire message was in English. I also wrote Happy birthday in Hindi in the end. She was very happy and delight...

Aizhan Aapa

Date -07/09/2017 Aizhan Aapa is my first Friend here, besides Sujin Onni(my mentor). Actually her name is Aizhan but she is elder to me so I call her Aizhan Aapa. We both like it that way. Aizhan Appa is from Kazistan and is majoring in Korean language here. It is her second year here and she will be here for two more years. Apart from studies, she also works as an assistant in the dormitory office on alternative days here. Today I went for an evening walk with her. I always enjoy talking to her and spending some time with her. She is friendly, helpful and sweet. A lot of times when we are stuck with something or don't know how to do something in the dormitory she always tries to help her out. One day we got locked outside our room because all of us had forgotten our cards inside. Even on that day, she opened the door for us with the master card with a polite caution not to repeat the same mistake again. She is a huge fan of Indian movies especially Shah Rukh Khan. Today we tal...

Problems are okay!!!

This year, me and Kalyani learned an important thing - "Sometimes, its OK not to be okay". Don't underestimate this simple statement. Sometimes being able to say "its okay" is all you need in the moment. I hate to admit this to myself, but at times more you try fighting it more you end up losing. Rather than taking some impulsive and stupid decisions; give it some time. Simply let it pass. I will be honest, I am a real jerk when it comes to emotions but then most of us are. So, thats ok too. i know what works for me but when comes to practice, I often forget it at the moment. Wandering for the solution for weeks and after weeks of hard work you realize the solution was just in front of you staring at you all this while. More often than not, that is typically me. Remember, 'Late is better than never'. So, once its done, I like to smile and move on. There are always better problems that await. Cheers to this beautiful Life with its unending list of ...
