Media and Mass Communication Department @ Gachon

After the morning class, I was left with another three hours at my leisure. So rather than procrastinating it any further, I decided to visit the Journalism Department and make an attempt to meet one of the Journalism Professors.

I thought fourth floor In the College of Law was for Media and Mass Communication as it had boards for Broadcasting Studio. So, I wished a Professor and asked him if he could understand English. I showed him the slip which read my name and introduction in Korean. It told that I am a Journalism student and wish to see the department and interact with any of the Journalism Professors. 

Since he was a bit clueless about how to help me, he took me to another Professor who teaches German and can speak fluent English. She connected me to a Kate in the Journalism department.

Kate is a Korean student who has graduated in Journalism from Gachon University and now also works in the Mass Communication department. She showed me their studios and would try to fix an appointment with one of the Journalism Professors.

I was glad that I finally made an effort in this direction and it turned out better than I expected. I hope to interact with more Journalism people here in the future. With the last couple of hours of the day wasted it was still a day well utilised.

P.S. 

With each passing day I realise how important it is for me to begin speaking slower.

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...

Strange...

Today I got to know something about Korea that I thought was really strange. Gambling is generally prohibted for Koreans. Hailey told us that there is a huge Cassino in Korea where Koreans are not allowed to enter. It is only for the Foreigners or Koreans that have an American citizenship. In case of many clubs the situation is completely opposite. Lawrence told us that there are a lot of clubs which are meant for Koreans only and Foreigners are not allowed there. I found it really weird because I don't think there is any such similiar thing in India.
