We Went North Yindian

Surprised mom for her birthday last Friday. Took a bus back Thursday night and reached early Friday morning (bloody eight hours with at least eight stops in between :@).

Reserved a table at Tandoor Grill. A newly opened high-end North Indian Restaurant in town.

It was.

Amazing.

Honestly I can't remember the names of the dishes we ordered but they tasted as good as what we get whenever we go to India.

This was grilled chicken, if I'm not mistaken, stuffed with more chicken, nuts and cheese.

Hyderabad Biryani.

Just like the one we had at the Rambargh Palace in Jaipur.

Some kurma dish.

Aloo Ghobi.

Palak Paneer. My favourite.

A chicken gravy dish. Mom and dad loved this one.

Naan basket: Cheese Naan, Butter Naan and Garlic Naan

Yoghurt.

Almond Kulfi. This was as good as my usual one in Chennai.

They even had room after room of separate seating areas for different groups of different numbers of people. Each room has a different decor and they're all named after spices etc. Saffron, Turmeric, Cinnamon.

This is their ballroom upstairs. Seating capacity of eight hundred people. Tastefully decorated. Very nice.

These two days back home were better than all my previous one week long holidays.

Spent enough time with everyone at home and even got to take the doggies out for their walks on both days.

Saturday was fantastic. Sat in front of the TV and watched back to back episodes of Masterchef on Lifetime.

FINALLY got my hands on Xanax again ohmygoodness. Haven't been sleeping properly for weeks. Insomnia is back again like never before.

Professional exams start on the 15th of this month.

Just like that first year of med school is coming to an end.

Can't wait for our long break after exams.

Also really looking forward to our little family vacation away from it all this November :3

So very happy with the way things have been and are going so far.

Cheers to a good week (and a good month if I don't blog by the end of it)!

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac...

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once...

Of Ends & New Beginnings

Eleven months ago I was about 20% suicidal. A lot has happened since then. Graduated just three days ago. It was really very emotional for me because I never really thought I'd make it this far. I'm actually a doctor now can you believe it? Many years ago I wrote something about myself that I felt made perfect sense. & it really has this past year; "If anyone were to fall for me, I daresay it wouldn't be for my looks, but rather the way they get to be themselves when they're with me." I have learnt so many things this year. A lot more than I have in a while. I've learnt not to judge anyone solely on the way they look, because even the ones most displeasing to the eyes have qualities about them which you cannot help but to love and admire. If anything, or if something is meant for you, you will have it somehow. You may have to walk through hell and back to get it, but it will be yours for the taking if that's what God has decided...
