Mo Money Mo Problems

My darling Kulfi, car damage, paying for school,  the vacations I have planned, weddings, and tickets I received have all contributed to my bank account feeling a little under the weather. Thankfully, I am nurse so all that means is I work a little more! But between working extra shifts (and they have been extremely understaffed shifts) and maintaining my shaadi.com career, I am exhausted! This weekend was crazy- Three dates, two nights of going out, and one wedding- and I went to work on Sunday! My dating life has picked up...WAY TOO MUCH. What a conundrum. On one hand, I hate casual dating- it is exhausting but on the other hand if I don't date how will I meet anyone?? Also to shaadi.com or not to shaadi.com??? I don't have any problem meeting men out and about, but to be honest, shaadi does increase your dating pool significantly (maybe way too much?). And I have met some nice guys on that site so to hell with it, I will give it one more go. Atleast, till the end of september and then I start school all over again.  #datingproblems #whereismyprince

In other news, I am concerned about mummy's health. She has been short of breath more, and she had a slew of tests done (we are still waiting on most of the results) but her ejection fraction was found to be only about 40 %. I know this is partly residual effects of the PE but I hope its not indicative of anything more as well. I hate seeing her like this. She is such a vibrant and active person, It is such a shame to see her health slow her down. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. But god is great, and I know he is watching over our family and her health, we will be OK.

Happy Thursday

Also, I can not tolerate waking up for the clinic anymore. I am sleep deprived :(

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...
