Fridays be like...

Yesterday we got our Mid Term scores for 'Development of Goods and Marketing'. The entire class got good scores. Me and all my Uzbek friends got the same score 26/30.

Actually I wanted to read the book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' from a long time and had it in a PDF format but could not find time to read it. But Sardor said I should definitely read it and since he had it in Paperback I asked him if I could borrow. So, he had brought the book for me on Friday. He asked me to tell him later how I liked the book.

After our Korean class, we went to Itaewon to buy some Indian food ingredients. Itaewon is a region in South Korea which is mostly occupied by Foreigners. It is just the right place  to go if you are missing your home country and want to enjoy your country food, buy ingredients or go to clubs and party.

In Itaewon, in the grocery shop we also met an Indian girl from Punjab. She came to Korea two months ago for her MBA and had recently began working in that store. She was glad to see us and said to come to our University later to meet us.

In the train, I also met an American guy Allen who stays nearby Itaewon. He had been in Korea from last two years and teaches English here in an academy. We had just met and begin talking. During the last couple of weeks, I have realized that generally the Americans and other European people are fine with having conversations with random people even at times when you have just met them. I actually don't mind that either so yeah I like that about them.

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...

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...
