Cheonggyecheon Lantern Festival

Today I spent most of my day studying Finance. I was hppy and thrilled that I had read and completed atleast one chapte from the book.

In the evening, I went to meet Subee. I really wannted to meet her once before leaving. So, we decided yesterday to see each other in the evening today.

Subee is a University Student, I first met during my Cultural Exchange Program with an NGO group called Youth Goodwill Guide (YGG). Later during the Chuseok holiday, she toured me around Seoul as a guide. That was one of my best days in South Korea. I had an amazing time with her and thats when we actually became friends.

After that we stayed in touch and decided to meet again today. As usual, she had to meet me near a subway station (Jongno - 3 - ga station). When we saw each other, there was a bright smile on both of our faces and we just hugged each other.

We went to the Cheonggyecheon Stream. Luckily, today was the last day of the Seoul Lantern Festival that I could not attend because of my Korean exam.

We looked around the stream while having conversations. All those lights and cartoons were looking very cute and pretty in the night. In the end, I also left a lighted lantern in the stream after writing my wishes on the paper.

I simply love being with Subee because she makes sure I get to see and experience everything I can wherever we are. I still remember how we got along well just the moment we met and she simply made me feel like I was a friend.

Today, she was telling me about her schedule for the weekdays which is so busy and tiring. But she still likes to take the time out on weekends to take foreigners on these tours as a guide all around Seoul. She has also got a job in the Samsung Hospital which she will be joining next year after completing her graduation. I congratulated her and was really happy for her.

After around an hour we left since she had to meet some of her other friends too. When I apologized for disturbing her plans and thanked her for taking the time out for me, she sweetly replied that I am her friend too and it felt good to hear that. Even in the end, when I said goodbye before leaving she simply replied See you.  I don't know why but that just felt nice and sweet.

So just with these sweet moments, my another week ended on a sweet note leaving that wide smile on my smile before I sleep.

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...
