Course Registration

Date - 06/09/2017

Today we submitted our final Course Registration Forms. So I cannot drop any other courses or choose a new one. I have chosen four Business courses.

Honestly I already had written my blog post for the day and loved it but I deleted the draft by mistake before I could save it.

I just did not want to write it because I couldn't exactly remember what I wrote but then I realized my entire article was all about being positive and motivating myself again when I feel demotivated.

So here is a small piece from my side for the day-

It doesn't matter how many times you fall down what matters is how many times can you rise again.

It's not that hard workers don't get tired, they are just eager enough to work harder, get tired and feel that pain because their hearts know it is worth it.

That's something I read recently - It's not about not having problems but rather choosing them more wisely. #MarkManson

Whenever I feel a little down or demotivated about something, I like to spend sometime alone, think through things, work it out, understand things and try to stay positive and feel motivated.

But I think the more I say it's tiring and hard, it creates a lot of negativity in my mind and I feel even more bad. I just don't want to think that way.

But on the brighter side, I am getting to learn a new language, will get to work on a small group project and finally learn something about Finance ( trust me I always have dreaded accounts and things related to finance but thankfully it's just an introductory course).

Honestly my days are not all bad, but it's just a zigzag pattern of feeling all motivated and charged up and then also feeling bad and a little discouraged since I am taking the maximum hours of classes in our entire group.

But I am also happy, I am getting the maximum number of credits from here. But I don't want it to be all about studies and be occupied with my subjects all day long. I also want to go out, explore things and there is so much more than studies I have come here for.

To be honest it is a little too much for me to manage and I know somehow I will do it but for now I just don't have an answer for how will I manage so many things and honestly that's the only thing that's bothering me right now. Everything else is perfectly fine actually.

But I think if I can manage it all well I will be really happy and proud of myself at the end of this semester. So I am just trying to stay positive, feel motivated and enjoy my stay here.

We all feel discouraged and disheartened sometimes but picking ourselves up again and again is the trick. Trust me the hardest things to manage are also the ones that give you the happiest moments of our lives.

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 ...

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...

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...
