A Hindi speaking Korean girl

Date - 19/09/2017

Today Sheetal Di was just coming back from her class when she was greeted by an unknown Korean girl. She asked Di from which country she is from. Knowing that Di is from India she further asked if she knows Hindi. Since Di knew Hindi she insisted on talking in Hindi. Di was just way too happy to speak in Hindi.

The name of Di's new friend is Sunaina. When Di asked her about the reason for having an Indian name, she told her that it is difficult for many foreigners to pronounce a Korean name. But when she used the hindi word 'उच्चारण', Sheetal Di was really impressed.

Sunaina told her that there is a group in Seoul where they teach Hindi. Probably all of us will meet her next tuesday when she would also come with her other friends. All of us really want to meet her.

Amidst so many foreign language speakers, we are just happy to find people who can speak and understand even a bit of English. So you can well imagine the delight of meeting a Hindi speaker and that too a native Korean.

P.S.
When Sheetal Di was narrating this incident all of us were like Wow and we are definitely eager to meet her next week. :) :)

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...
