Hola! Happy Hump day! Woke up today feeling excellent! So much to catch up on...I will start with my fabulous weekend! Boston was great! Boston in summer is a world of difference than boston in the winter. I had fun on both trips, but this had a very different charm. On Friday we were greeted by roshani's brother- Neil. What a gentleman. He picked us up, gave us a mini tour, and dropped us off at the hotel. We checked into the Boston Park Plaza. Hands down the scariest hotel I have ever stayed at... the hallways looked like something straight out of Stephen King's 'The Shining'! That night, rosh and I got ready and headed out. Lol the nightlife in Boston was hilarious. Girls in flipflops, men who can't dance, the 22 year old Obama look alike, Rosh's Italiano, the R&B room...we have a great time just taking in the scene. Headed back to the hotel and indulged in late night pizza. Note to self- nothing beats 99 cent NYC pizza when you have the late night munchies  :)

The next day we did the Sam Adams tour, hung out with Rosh's bro and did some shopping, had a delicious lunch at an awesome salad shoppe, me and rosh then literally spent two hours just talking at the boston library (beautiful library). Then we did some more shopping. It was an utterly relaxing day. I think something both of us really needed. Then at night we met up with some peeps for drinks. All I can say is I totally understand what people mean when they say "its feels so right but it's just so wrong". I am just going to ride the wave out till I catch my perfect wave :)

The next day we had a great brunch at joint called 'Flour'. No complaints with the food in boston-it was excellent! Then we walked around, explored the city more. We went to a movie and saw the heat, and then hopped on a bus back to NYC. awful bus ride though. Never taking Bolt again. I thought I was going to die of dehydration because they did not believe in air circulation.

Overall, it was an excellent trip!!! There was one major glitch after. I am not sure what to make of it. At first I was freaking out, but after more deliberation, I am not sure there is much for me to be worried about. Never had this issue before...I think its a joint problem, but we shall see. #awkward  #Ishouldwriteabook

RUTGERS baby!!!!

It's been a crazy four years, but today marks the official end of my undergraduate career. How can I sum my time at Rutgers in a blog post? Totally impossible. But I can say this... there is not a thing I would change. I have quite literally grown up with Rutgers. The things I have learned, the people I have met, the mistakes i have made, and my achievements all shape the woman I am today. I remember my first day at Rutgers... the nervousness, the excitement, and mostly the happiness. Funny thing is I graduate with those same feelings. I am nervous and excited for this new stage of my life, but I am also thrilled. I can not even begin to explain how I felt today. I came home and waiting for me was my first medical school book that arrived in the mail. I was considering going out tonight, but instead I began looking through the book. My dreams are becoming a reality. My future feels bright, optimistic, and rewarding! I am flying high, and the sky is the limit! But before I embark on...

Direction

The roads of our lives come with no maps. No signs to tell us when to yield, when to stop, or when to go. Streets, alleys, and highways are forged as we drive along. There are crossroads, and choices to be made. There are u-turns, and detours. Sometimes we take the expressway, and other times the local. Sometimes its sunny, and sometimes it rains. But we keep driving. We keep driving. We drive and we drive, until one day our engine dies. Where did the road lead us? What was our destination? What was our purpose? 21 years. 21 years i have spent on these planet. What have i done? What have I achieved. Why am i here? I am driving, but it is foggy outside. I am trying to defrost, but my efforts are fruitless. Everything you do, everyone you love... what does it matter? Who will remember, and moreover who will care? Most of us drive along paved roads, there are few that create the beaten path. No ones journey is alike, after all we are all unique. But aren't most of our destinations the...

The "Illegal"

Recently, Vishnu and I watched "Illegal", a 2019 drama film directed by Danish Renzu. This powerful movie tells the story of a young man who comes to the US on a student visa to pursue his dream of becoming a film director. However, his journey is far from easy and the story sheds light on the many struggles he encounters along the way. As I watched the film, I was overwhelmed by a sense of melancholy and gratitude.  The melancholy came mostly from my thoughts of my parents, aunts and uncles, in-laws, and other cherished people in my life who had faced similar challenges when they arrived in the United States nearly three decades ago. Although they seldom discuss their experiences, I know that life was incredibly difficult for them back then. Many of my loved ones worked arduous jobs, sometimes multiple jobs simultaneously, just to ensure that there was food on the table. They took on this demanding work despite holding college or graduate-level degrees in India. In their pur...
