Went for Shopping

Date - 2nd September 2017

Today was a saturday so we went to a mall for shopping with our mentor. I bought myself a top and a skirt. We also watched Lotte World Tower. Thats the tallest building of South Korea. It is the first sky scrapper I have ever watched. For me even to capture that was so difficult, but I have made a try.

We went there via subway and our achievement for the day was we came back alone from there. It was easy though once you understand things because everything is writen in English there.

We also ate Aaloo ke paranthe today which were prepared by Anamika Di, Sheetal Di and Varsha Di. They were yummy and I loved it.

Today Avi bhaiya played Cricket with a few of his new friends. We also enjoyed watching it.

We all have our dinner together alongwith  Avinash bhaiya outside the dormitory on thebenches and then we go for an evening walk. But today we got to know some people thought we are family and what was even more bizarre is a boy thought Anamika Di is my mother. 😅

But here it seems like we are learning everything from the beginning. Obviously we have to make a few adjustments but there is not that strangeness I had expected of being in a new country and that's great.

Yeah its different but not so different.

I always keep asking everyone's name and then forget it soon so I have began a new thing today. Whenever I meet a new person and ask their name, I note down the name of the person's name alongwith their country name. Its proving to be really helpful and sometimes we do share our Facebook accounts. I think once we begin with our classes I am going to meet a lot of new people and make a lot of new friends. I am just gonna love it.

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...

Nirbhaya case

It was an incident that shocked the nation. We couldn't save her but Justice was the least that we wanted for her. Today after 4 years the justice has been served. The 4 convicts of Delhi Gangrape have been sentenced to be hanged till death. It has come as a relief and we hope it sets an example for others. But isn't Justice delayed Justice denied ? Doesn't it also points out the loop holes in our system ? It does suggest that we need to make better laws, something that instills confidence in the hearts of civilians and fear in the minds of criminals. We need to restore the faith of general masses in our judicial system. When so many people came out on the roads to protest, there was a wave of anger and frustration that we saw. We hoped that maybe things will change but what followed was unfortunate. Crimes are just becoming more and more common. Laws have become a joke and the Police and our Judicial System is mocked by these criminals. The question is when will th...
