KULFI!!

I have wanted a dog all my life and now I finally have one!!! Introducing...Kulfi! She is an adorable 6 week old maltese/shih tsu mix! I got her two days ago, its so exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time! I love having her around but at the same time I have no idea if I am doing things right. Feeding, toileting, attention, etc are all so new to me. And when I went to work on Friday all I could think of all shift was how alone she was, I could not wait to go home!! I can't even imagine how mothers feel when they have to leave their babies to return to work, it must be awful. I also realized I will be 'one of those mothers'. My camera is filled with pictures of her, and I will show them to anyone who will listen. God help the world when I have my first baby!

On other news, It's pretty T-1 month till the Bachelorette/Bday trip with the girls...Can't wait! I have been spending time catching up with friends, spending time with family, spending time pursuing my hobbies, and spending time working.  Life as been ups/downs this year, but I feel like the clouds are finally parting. I am starting to have a sense of clarity that I did not have before. For awhile it felt like my heart was shattered into pieces, but now that its coming back together, its stronger and there is a sense of fortitude that was lacking before. I don't feel as fragile. I have no desire to actively seek love, but if it walks into my life, I am ready. I have been pushing away men for months, but I am ready and back in the game. P.s. for some reason some old flames have been reaching out. Umm what do you with that? Like didn't end for a reason? Are you all of sudden lonely, and want to try this again? No thanks. That shipped has sailed, and it's heading to clearer and hotter waters! Anyways, tonight I am hitting up the city. It is a beautiful day, can't wait to enjoy it in my favorite city :)
 
 I have an amazingly cute puppy, and my life long desire of owning a dog has been fulfilled! I am a changed woman for the better...stronger & smarter. Life is great! :)

RUTGERS baby!!!!

Image
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...
