April 27th, sitting in Bangalore International airport,Gate 4, waiting for my flight I still feel like shit. My spirits are low, joy is long gone.Crazy heat,a rejection and ghosted by HR, it was too much to handle. I usually live by one thing at a time but this year of time all came together like New year sale, I thought 2024 will be easy on me but I was proven wrong. “Why!!!” I have asked 1000 to only one person, that’s Jesus!!!
My gray hair, weaken knee , wanted to prove all the B*#₹*₹# and B@#₹&₹# , who call me picky, to be wrong, so went aboard and gave 200%, darn, it still hurts; just 2months aka 1440hrs, wonder how people, married couple bear the pain of separation. May be it’s never meant to be and universal had to intervene to stop a disaster, because if the person is right for you, you don’t have to overboard yourself, you can be just as you are in your torn pajamas which reveals your torn undies.
I was just licking my wounds slurping mangoes while HR who had scheduled a interview started ghosting me, aren’t they responsible to call back and give feedback, humanitarian sake or may be basic etiquette ……why work as a HR when you don’t know to deal with humans, not pleasant creature to deal with but then you are SME
I chewed SH’s brain above and beyond, complaining, asking how I could have done things differently not to be in this situation?
“you couldn’t babe, you already did the best, sometimes universe can be little harsh, don’t let anything demotivate you, beleive and keep going, no ordinary person can do what you are doing…”.She is sweet, always makes me feel like superwoman.
I couldn’t let my saddened emotions eat up my April May. I just had to get away, go to mountains,get lost,far away because running always helps😃
Hopefully on this journey God will increase my faith in him, help me to rediscover myself and let go off all old hurtful memories, experience and make me strong person to endure and to enjoy what life has to offer me. Let’s F#₹&# this shit.

Hoi An: Day 4
Posted: April 17, 2024 in VietnamTags: Ba Le Velle, basket Boat ride coconut forest, Hoi An
After having my break fast I bid farewell to Dee and boarded Hoi An Cab. Its jus took couple of hrs on the road and I was in Hoi An. I dont know why I was feeling homesick. Okra being a fancy hostel was filled with foreigners. They were in their own world with bike, beach and party and I was in my own world of lunch, places to visit the dogs.
Receptionist was very sweet, she shared some of the best restaurants and cafe to visit. I booked by Grab and thought will try tailored clothes in Hoi An. I was welcomed by a experience lady who gave me a tab and told me to pick the pattern and dress, shop was crowded with foreigners, who were pick the best suit, dress or shirt for their next event . After few looks she seemed like losing patience with me. I wasnt comfortable anymore, all I wanted to do was give the tab back and run away. My anxiety was hitting me. She asked me how much I am willing to spend. I am picky mind you!!!I never buy clothes in 90mins and she wanted me to pick a pattern in less than 15mins. I mumbled something and ran away. I am sure she would have scolded me for wasting her precious time. I strolled on the streets of Hoi An. Must tell, its one of mt favorite place in Vietnam. I have met really good people here, some were just darlings. I was just exploring the tailored shops when I ended up in a shop where lady was engrossed in her book. She welcomed me and gave a broad smile. After this and that, I ended up giving my measurements to her. She didnt rush me, she was sweet. The lady recommended many good places for lunch, she gave multiple options. Some how I ended up in this restaurant where I had the best Banh Xeo. Not even Hanoi . Ba Le Well, this is the must visit place in Hoi An. Its been 5 months and I can still feel the taste of Banh Xeo.
After the lunch I booked the Grab and visited Coconut forest for the Basket Boat ride, even though it was hot. Its not must visit place, if you have a big crowd you might enjoy. I am not sure why I went may be to kill the time. They said 500VND but Thanks to my Grab rider, I got the ticket for 400VND. Next day I got to know I could have enjoyed the ride for 250VND :(.

Da Nang Day 3: Local Market, Banh Mi, Saigon
Posted: April 15, 2024 in VietnamTags: Banh Mi, Da Nang, Han Market
I hoped on my grab and decided to explore Da Nang Local Market. It’s one of the best market and must visit place
I was aware we can bargain anything in Vietnam, I wanted to check my ability so I found a lady selling mango chewie’s and with sign language asked how much. Sign language is universal language
She typed in the calculator and showed “25 Vietnamese dong” with a warm smile
I took her calculator and typed “15” and showed it to her with a mischievous smile on my face
Her smile disappeared and she typed 20
I was adamant and type 15
She took back the calc and shooed me with her hand and said something in Vietnamese. I burst out laughing.
I typed “Sorry” in the Google translator and showed it to her. She gave me a broad smile and showed the packet and said 20. I wanted to buy but didn’t as I was flying intercity with my pregnant bag.
I waved her and said “bye”. You do make lot of memories when you travel. Yeah, I suck at bargaining .:)
Being the last night in Da Nang, couldn’t say no to Dee when she said, let’s taste from Vietnamese beer
