"Not shy ,Not me (ITZY)

I want it all, all ,all (Yeah)

Not Shy, not me 😍 "

                                 - K-POP GROUP ITZY “Not shy”



That’s exactly what I am listening to these days 😆!.

                I know it’s a little late to the world of K-pop but I had worlds of entertainment growing up. Being an Indian growing up in multicultural country of United Arab Emirates (or as people commonly refer as DUBAI!😏) Bollywood was all I know; with a mixture of Arab entertainment too. Bollywood is what grew on. It was the medium that did give men feelings and fantasies. The slow motion turn, the dances between scenes (even though thinking now it made no sense) was what happy growing up meant. Obviously, a feeling of familiarity was also indicated with Bollywood. But that all changed when I went to India for my graduate studies.

You would think how come being in India made me get into Korean entertainment .Simply because as the quote goes “The grass always feels greener on the other side”. Living in dorms with my roommates with most of them born and bred in India, the idea of a totally different world apart from ours were thrilling. And that’s when a roommate of mine introduces me to the first rabbit hole of Korean entertainment: K-DRAMA!!

The first ever k-drama that I watched and couldn’t stop myself from staying awake till 2 am to finish the series was no other than the famous drama “DESCENDENTS OF SUN”. 

This drama gave me all the feels and when I mean feels, it’s too much to handle! How can stories about military and hospital life be this interesting .So my love started to grow for these dramas. The fact that with amazing visuals of these actors along with heart-warming OSTs make you feel so occupied that sleep feels vanquished. From there till now I am still a fan of k-dramas. Personal recommendations includes Coffee Prince, My love from another star, Secret Garden, Goblin, Pasta and Hospital Playlist (Personally there’s so much more but I will let you do the rest ). I feel the farther you go behind the times, the true Korean cultural aspect of drams you can see. And man, I am enjoying it!!

The second rabbit hole that I fell into is KPOP. From 1st gen group such as H.O.T “Candy” , Sinhwa “Perfect Man” to second gen groups such as Super Junior “ Bonamana” , 2PM “ Again and Again", SNSD “ Mr Mr” ,Wonder Girls “ Tell Me” to current groups such as EXO , BTS , Monsta X , Blackpink , Mamamoo and much more ,I am a fan ! The fact that these artists make you feel soo connected with them and have genuine love for fans is just remarkable.

The final rabbit hole was Korean Variety shows. Just amazing . Humor, class and quick wits, it amazes me how well timed and precise these entertainers throw jabs to viewers and guests. Shows such as Knowing brothers, new journey to the west, running man are my go to shows. It keeps me happy and warm. Above all it does entertainment justice by engaging viewers to sit back and relax and have a happy time.

I would say that being alone in Brisbane has been much less depressing thanks to the Korean entertainment rabbit hole that I fell into .My love for these have only increased from year to year .Hopefully K-Entertainment keeps coming up with interesting content to see so that I don’t lose my interest !!




And from my heart to k-entertainment;

“I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You

How can I be with another, I don't want any other

I want nobody nobody nobody nobody 😍”

OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR WORLD

  When I think about environment my mind is filled with beautiful lush trees, scenic beauty of mountains covered with clouds, sunlight shining through a canopy, river streaming and much more come to mind. Could you blame me? Indeed the world that we live is a beauty that beholds the eye. But with human greed this beauty has been suffering much more than it should .It high time that we look to protect the beauty without causing harm to it anymore. As a postgraduate student studying towards environmental science and studying on topics such as sustainability, eco efficiency, circular economy, cleaner production have definitely helped me in understanding the world around me and the negative effects caused by pollution and many other activities. Many of us think that being a student, we don’t have time to think about the environment .Attending lectures, doing assignments and studying all around the clock leaves us with no think to think anything else. But I believe that if you are p...

EXPERIENCING THE JOY OF COMMUNITY

  “There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about” .This quote by Margaret J Wheatley perfectly defines the importance of a community. I feel a community can only be built if there are compassionate and passionate souls who love to join forces and help others. My experience of being part of a community has been a journey so as to say. Coming to Australia for doing my postgraduate degree was one of the best decision that I have made in life. But along with great decisions does come great difficulties. Adjusting to a new country ,culture and people are never easy .I ,being an introvert found it difficult to engage with people around and would quietly sit in my room lost in books, laptop and music!. I often thought to myself “who cares if I go out and actually engage in the community that I am in? As long as I have these materialistic things I am fine!” To think that I could survive like this was just an understatement! Within 3 months, I unde...

💓 COINCIDENTAL MEETING OF UNI LIFE.-MY MATES 💓

Friends may change but memories last forever.... That’s exactly how I feel! Being away from home, family and studying in a new country that I have never been before was overwhelming to the point that I thought I couldn’t do it .I was scared and alone. Being an introvert, I wasn’t the type to make friends or socialize well .I usually kept to myself drowning in my emotions and feelings. I still remember the plane ride from Dubai to Australia thinking about how I am I going to survive my two years of postgrad studies away from the closest people in my life ? Will it be possible for me to thrive?. Thankfully, I got my answers through my mates that I made at Griffith University. On my first day of uni,I was lost finding the class for my orientation until I met a girl .Dressed to tens ,she looked at me cheerfully and asked me my name. ‘Kavya”, I said my name and she smiled and said “I Think we will; be good friends” she said .That’s my first memory with Kanthi, with whom I have been friend...
