Completing the Korean Course

Today we finally completed our Korean language course. In our last class we played Yut nori.

Yut Nori is a traditional Korean game that is played with a set of four log shaped blocks. Each log is flat on one side and round on the other side. Along with the blocks there is a board and different coloured pieces for a team. Each player tries to complete the round and get out o win.

Our team lost the game so we had to sing a song. We sang a small Korean song that we had learnt in the beginning.But I could not remember it so I was just standing and trying to sing a bit.

After that some of us also wore the Hanbok (i.e. the Korean traditional dress) and took a lot of pictures that our teacher had brought for us. I also wore it and clicked a few pics. Although I have already tried the Hanbok before but I never miss a chance to wear it. I think it is very pretty and I love it.

Later, as the other teacher had already informed us Park Mam came with our results and score cards. Elzar had secured the first position in our class. I was so happy for her. She was the youngest in our class. She is so cute and adorable. I think she was really the one person you can describe as a Kiddo in our class.

I was a little scared about the result but I was so happy when I saw it. I had secured an average of 96% in the test. I was so glad about that.

But the best part was our entire class got good grades and each one of us actually recieved the Certificate of Merit too. We were so happy. All three of us (me, Anu Di and Varsha Di) secured more than 90% score.

Before leaving, we clicked pictures with our teacher and bid her farewell as she would also be leving for a vacation in Vietnam in the coming week.

After leaving the class, all of us went to the cafeteria to enjoy a meal together. Although Mam could not come with us but she had given all of us free coupons so that we could enjoy the meals together.

Today, all of us were so happy for successfully completing the Korean language course. But as we were leaving, we all were a little sad too because we will really miss this class and especially our teacher- the world's cutest teacher.

P.S. Sharing it with my mom and brother, all the friends and the professors was another moment of joy and pride in itself. I am so happy. Yippee!!! We have finally completed our Korean Language course and that too with nice grades. 😊😊😊

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.
