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 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...

Inside Gachon University Festival: My Experience as an Exchange Student in South Korea

Gachon University Festival in South Korea is a popular campus event featuring K-pop performances, student activities, and cultural celebrations. Originally experienced in September 2017, Gachon Festival was one of my most memorable experiences during my student exchange programme in South Korea. When people think of South Korea, they often imagine K-pop, K-dramas, street food and bustling cities. I too got a glimpse of that culture and celebration at the Gachon University Festival. It wasn't just about music and performances; it was about seeing thousands of students come together to celebrate, make memories and enjoy a brief break from their demanding academic schedules. I had attended college festivals back home in India, yet I was curious to see how a Korean university festival would compare. What Is the Gachon University Festival? Like many universities in South Korea, Gachon University organises an annual festival where students showcase their talents through music, dance, per...
