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 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

Problems are okay!!!

This year, me and Kalyani learned an important thing - "Sometimes, its OK not to be okay". Don't underestimate this simple statement. Sometimes being able to say "its okay" is all you need in the moment. I hate to admit this to myself, but at times more you try fighting it more you end up losing. Rather than taking some impulsive and stupid decisions; give it some time. Simply let it pass. I will be honest, I am a real jerk when it comes to emotions but then most of us are. So, thats ok too. i know what works for me but when comes to practice, I often forget it at the moment. Wandering for the solution for weeks and after weeks of hard work you realize the solution was just in front of you staring at you all this while. More often than not, that is typically me. Remember, 'Late is better than never'. So, once its done, I like to smile and move on. There are always better problems that await. Cheers to this beautiful Life with its unending list of
