My Piece for the day

23/12/2017             One from sometime in South Korea On Saturday as I woke up I knew it was probably my last morning in South Korea. There was excitement to be back home and meeting everyone but the sadness to leave Korea was still overpowering. Before I could think about it for too long, in a rush to be all done by 9:00, those emotions were forced to take a back seat as we shuffled through the diffent tasks at hand. That morning, among all the texts that popped up there were two in particular that caught my attention. Both came from friends I hadn't talked to for around a month. Subee is a friend from Seoul and I became friends with Sugandhi in Solan. One made me feel sad for leaving Korea while the other made me feel excited about returning back to my country. Around nine, Sujin came and I felt so glad to see here. All of us clicked  selfies with her. Then the taxi arrived and we left for the airport and said bye to our mentor with a hope to see each other aga

There was heavy snowfall in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province region yesterday. It is a pleasure to see everything around covered in a white blanket as you peep out of the window and are greeted with a beautiful view in the morning. Snow flakes were still falling silently as I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Later, I also clicked some pics on my way to the Main Building where I had to meet Laylo and Sitora. We had planned to hang out and have lunch together. I was waiting for both of them when I also saw Sardor and other guys. We were just chatting when Azizbek began playing with snow and started throwing snowballs at us. Sardor, Osaid, and Sonnie also joined him. After a while, Sitora and Laylo also came there and we thought we would invite the guys too. We asked Jakhongir and he was trying to ask the other boys while they were busy and enjoying their snowball fighting. They were throwing snowballs at us too in between but we could easily dodge away without getting involv

Technically, tomorrow I have my last class for Financial Management and that's also the last class for  this semester.  Finally I am gonna be done with the Business classes. I can't say I am sad to say bye to these classes. I am relieved but I am also glad that I took these subjects here which I would have never learnt otherwise. This Monday, we completed the syllabus for the Finance Management and honestly it was one of the best classes. I think the last few chapters were the hardest but that was also when things began to make sense. It was like a play where it is simply confusing throughout the story. But, just you get into the last scene and move towards the end, all of a sudden it is making sense. It becomes clear just as they begin to draw curtains and finally you like it. Its still difficult, don't really like it but just don't hate it anymore either. From Friday, we will be beginning with the final exams. I have three on 15th and just one on 20th, so I

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

For too many days in a row, I had been sleeping too much and doing nothing. Then I realised there are only 25 days left for us to go back. I really don't want to think of anything else right now and won't waste even a single day anymore. It already feels like our exchange journey is almost over. I don't want to go so soon.  Our last month is all about project, presentations and exams. But I am trying to spend as much time as I can with the few friends I have made. Sometimes when I am with my friends, I suddenly feel bad that probably I will never get to see them again. From Today, I want to spend every single day left of my stay well or atleast utilising it for studies because this semester I am not prepared for my exams. I really hope I can gather a few more memories before I leave.

On Wednesday, we attended the Senior Recital in the College of Arts, in our University. We enjoyed various Piano Compositions by the graduating students. Sardor and his friends were invited by one of the students who also had a performance that evening. I was a bit confused when he asked me if I wanted to join.  I don't listen to instrumental compositions and haven't attended any such recitals before. I wasn't sure if I will enjoy it. But I wanted to see and give it a try so decided to join them. It was a little long for me towards the end as I don't really listen to such music but I still had a nice time and really enjoyed a few compositions.

Today, after a long wait we finally got to enjoy our first snowfall of this winter in South Korea. I was delighted to see those tiny flakes falling from the sky and feel those cold winds on the face. But I forgot my cap in the room as I left in a hurry for the class in the morning. So I had to rush to my dormitory because my already numb ears had began to hurt a bit. But glad with the thought snowfall has finally began.
