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...

Confessions Of A Med Student

Everyone knows how tough medicine can be. Not just as a profession but also to study. I knew it would be stressful. I knew. But that's about all I was told. Now that I'm experiencing it, it's a whole different story. Our days are long. Our weekends fly by within the blink of an eye. There are never ending tests, exams, assignments, presentations, role play sessions and lab sessions. Classes start at eight every day five days a week. We finish at five on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Fridays we finish at one and on Wednesdays at three, followed by extra co-curricular activities from five to seven in the evening. Tuesdays are test days for Biochemistry. After every unit we're given a short test to see where we stand which keeps us on our toes. We have role play sessions on Mondays and Fridays. Presentations can be on any given day. Assignments are a day to day thing. Questions, essays. And when I say essays I mean pages and pages of what you've studi...
