Almost two months down! I am home for Eid vacation. Never been so hyped about packing and leaving.

Changes.

I've made some new friends. Old friend stays. Turtle Dove and I; we got closer. And now I have to make new nick names for the people I encountered and spent an awful lot of time with. From the very first week in Tarc, I got to know Drish more genuinely, how fun she can be. She's like the perfect little buddy to hang out with. I spent most of the time sleeping in her dorm because mine's on the 6th floor and her bed is soft just like her tiny little hands...Yes she is short and skinny. But full of energy. That's what I like about her. Then came Sumo. She is hilarious and in a cruel way. Never misses a punchline. Never fails to make us laugh. Last but not least- NALU. She's just pure gold. Her words are powerful. She's an old soul and I am more and more getting fond of this girl. I love her pep talks. She's probably the sane person in our group. Yep.

Oh disclaimer. I made friends with boys as well. It's a funny story. There were in my class since the first semester, still- I never really talked with them. They make fun of me now of how I used to mess up my presentations in English Class. And I actually regret not talking with them before in first semester because they're all nice people. Like seriously.

Another disclaimer- I am crushed on someone again. And in the next post I will be more specific with details...Because now I have to shower. I smell disgusting.

Oh after what feels like forever, I am going to shit in my toilet. No place like home!

world war?

 Dear B,  I don't watch the news but there has been a lot of speculations on social media of a possible world war III. My sister just texted me that I should save up money as we don't know what that might do to the economy. It is ironic because I just ordered something online last night. Every time I go out, I spend. I don't even have a good paying job and I spend like I have full time. However, one thing I learned from my past is that there is no point in stressing about the future. What I have control over is now. I can either live in the moment or ruin it by ruminating and what good will it bring to my life? Living alone can get boring. However, I am trying to find things to do. Maybe I will visit a bookstore today. Lets see.  I have rearranged the furnitures yesterday. Cleaned as well. The place looks good.  Maybe I will go IKEA. I love it there. Even though I can't afford furnitures, I just enjoy looking at them. Oh what to tell you B. My in-laws are coming this...

opposite sides of a coin

Hi B,  I've been sort of busy with the training for the job and have another interview coming tomorrow. I am torn between staying with the current job and switching or keeping both as part times. I don't know, I guess I will have a decision made if the interview goes well. I have been traveling far for the current one and every time I get on the bus or the the train I feel depression kicking in full force. Suddenly I remember home, the comfort of being around my loved ones, the easy life I once had back in Bangladesh. Certainly, there are things that weren't easy but I guess it felt easy because I was more used to it. Transport was rickshaw and didn't even think twice before booking an uber because I always had some money with me. Now I have literally 200 dollars to go by and I have to think twice to even buy a cup of coffee or a piece of bread. I guess with time, I will be able to save up some money. I am glad at least I got to start working. It is still very overwhelm...

healing in progress

 Dear B,  What I learned from the past week is that I tend to take on grief from others in my family like my own. Even though there is nothing I can do about it to ease other's pain. Hence, I suffer internally.  There is a song that I deeply connect with:  Tu Jhoom | Naseebo Lal x Abida Parveen. It kind of goes like this: “What is meant to be yours will find you through any excuse. My heart, understand that there is nothing in your control. You just swirl (let it go)” My brother recently got rejected from a marriage proposal from a girl he really liked. It was arranged but this was his first experience talking with a girl. Seeing him being torn left me in tears as I know how much he was hurting. He is such a gentle soul. I took his pain as if my own and could not sleep at night. Nothing I say could ease his suffering but I still tried to cheer him up. I prayed genuinely for him to be showered with blessings. I want him to experience life, be with someone who would ca...
