The only drama I want in my life

The only drama I want in my life - K-Drama

I am done dealing with drama in real life. I have never been one to hide my emotions. If I like someone, I express it openly. Unfortunately, I show my dissent just as clearly. I cannot fake a smile talking to someone I am uncomfortable around or I do not want to engage with. I grew up imagining that everyone is like this. Unfortunately, I have come to realize over my 20s and 30s that it is absolutely not the case. People tend to be nice in front of others and are toxic in a closed environment. If one does not have something nice to say about the other to their face, it is best to be quiet instead of being hurtful. So, anyone who has hurt me intentionally, I have happily shut them off from my bubble. I cannot tell how much it helps me stay away from getting pushed over and over again.

I was even made to believe that I am the cause of all problems in the life of people around me. A few years ago, I would have been overwhelmed. Now I have learned to love myself and also know that people who care for me, they are the ones I need to put my extra focus on. I have so much love to give to people around me, I ain't wasting it on those who don't deserve it. The only drama I want and will accept in my life is K-Drama(Korean Drama). So leaving you here with some recommendations from what I have watched so far. They will make you laugh, cry and celebrate.

Until next time, Anneyong!

The loss of a friend !

My Father-in-law was not the typical FIL who was distant and would not interact with his daughter-in-law. Well, initially he was like that and then he warmed up to my presence and opened up to me. Over the last few years, as we spent a lot of time together, as we were all living in the same home, he became my close friend, mentor, guide and my biggest cheerleader. He was born in Shimoga, grew up in Amrutur with his aunt, started his family in Sagara and eventually retired into Bangalore. 80+ years, he has had the most enviable life. Don't mistake it for a rosy life or a life with no issues or problems! He was one among 11 - 6 boys and 5 girls. He was the 2nd child and as his mother had more children, she needed help raising the kids and so she reached out to her sister in law to take care of him in Amruthur - a farmland. He grew up under the care of his aunt and love from his cousins, who were all girls. He would eat fresh food from the abundance of the farm and also drink milk so...

My Wheels!

April, this year, my better half took me to a car showroom and we just ended up booking a car for myself on my birthday. Best gift ever! Though I made the transactions, him making the decision on the car and taking me there was very special. I had not pursued driving at all since I received my DL in 2004! Close to 20 years later, I have suddenly found confidence and the enthusiasm to drive. I learned in Chennai and often would take Appa's car, but it was his office car, so was always scared of any potential damage. Then my husband's car. His parents always used to worry about the tiniest damage on the car and that was excuse enough to not gain confidence in driving his car. So, a year back, I had decided I had to buy one for myself to gain confidence. I am now wondering why I didnt do it any sooner! I am loving my new wheels and I love how I managed to drive 35 kilometers in just a day yesterday! It's a month since I got my new car and my confidence is high! This was als...

June - Doctor/Hospital month??? Is this the start of a trend?

June 12th 2014, I went for a regular scan to my Gynec - 37 weeks into my pregnancy and was asked to go for an immediate scan, that followed a suggestion to get admitted right away, and then surgery was scheduled the next day. 28 years on earth and I had never been admitted at a hospital for anything, not even typhoid or chicken pox! And here I was hospitalized for 11 days, 1 pre-surgery, 10 post until my son recovered from jaundice ! And that's the end, I thought ! June 4th, 2022, I was out shopping with my son. My previous blog posts detail the ordeal and how i was again hospitalized for a week for concussion and surgery to my face for bruises. A plastic surgery that didn't change my "beauty". Cut to June 16th 2023, a couple of days ago, woke up with a sharp, shooting pain, like contractions non-stop and ended up getting admitted, drips and pain killers not being effective, to rushing to a scan that helped find the root cause - Hemorrhage of cyst in ovary. Sounds ...
