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)!

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...

Damn Son

"Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, come here lemme talk to you.  Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, be sure he is prepared to catch you when you fall. You might be too much woman for him.You might be too independent. Too smart. Too much of a catch. He may not be ready for the weight of how beautiful you are. How gorgeous you are. How strong you are. He may not be ready yet. You, have to be prepared...to be yourself regardless of if he can carry you or not. So it's important for you to know his past. His attributes. His strengths. If he's prepared to handle how beautiful you are. How gorgeous, how so awesome you are. So, I'm here to tell you...that it's super important for you to take your time. Don't just listen to sweet nothings. Don't listen to words, watch actions. Because you're too fragile to be dropped.  Your heart is way too valuable to be mishandled.  And your brain don't need a bruise. So before ...

Weekender

It's been a rather good week to say the least. Assignments and tests are piling up slowly but surely. Went shopping today straight after class. Was looking for a comfortable pair of black flats. The lace one I had previously had torn at the sides (thanks to my gigantically broad feet) and the one pair I recently brought from home seemed smaller than when I'd last used them. Walked around for easily an hour looking for a pair that would catch my eye. Finally found one in Vincci. Also lace (don't ask me why I like lace I just do). Tried on their biggest size and it fit! Went to Mango and looked around for a pair of beige slacks. Found a pair of cargo pants. Minus the pockets. Those big, baggy, comfy pants. Grabbed a U.S. size 6, since all my other pants from there are that size, only to come back and realize that it was way too big. TOO BIG I SAY . I should have settled for the dress I saw but no. I wanted the pants. Gah. Removed the button and adjusted ...
