What do I name it?? - My first post...

Having created a profile at a time when the blogging revolution began, I realized that I am neither much of a thinker to put in some wise words in my blog nor a good writer to make it sound good enough...Later having read a lot of blogs which were but simple and genuine thoughts expressed very plainly, I came to realize that even they can be appreciated. Well, not everyone can be the Bard!
I had by then decided that I would post my first blog when I came across a very thought-provoking incident or a ecstatic moment. Unfortunately for me, whenever either of these happened, a blog was not what came to mind.I watched 'Kung Fu Panda' only a few days back. As it said in the movie... The secret is that there is no secret.Well, going by just that for now I write my first blog very well knowing that within a few hours I would think that it was a very silly thing to begin with. What held me back from writing for quite sometime now is not the fear I have of disappointing others but the fear of disappointing myself.
Now, this is a beginning... for all good things to come..

25 years as an amputee: Happy Silver Ampuversary!

It's been 25 long and eventful years today since my near fatal accident due to drunk driving by a truck driver and my amputation. Being a little girl then I would never have thought about the future but if my parents were to be told that this is where their daughter would be 25 years later, I guess they'd take it. There's no better joy in the world than making your parents happy. As a mother myself, I cannot fathom the pain a parent goes through when faced a situation of their little child having to undergo an amputation. The only positive then was that the infection didn't spread above my leg and amputating it at the hip meant I could still be alive. Today I’d like to appreciate the wonderful life and the amazing people I have been gifted with.  Having lived a fair share of my life in the cosy comforts of Dubai, moving to India gave me a cultural shock. The roads didn't have proper sidewalks, bathrooms weren't easy to use, monsoons were torrid cuz my ...

When I feel proud of myself... Part I

There are times when something triggers off a flurry of thoughts; it brings back memories of some life altering incidents in life. Such a thing happened to me yesterday. I had to visit a hospital to meet a friend's mom who had had her leg amputated. People who know me know exactly what would've gone through my mind. It was a month after my 8th birthday. It was on Onam day. We were to go to Pappa's place. While walking on the side of the road with pappa, a truck driver rammed into me and crushed my left leg. Its funny that no one has ever told me what really happened. I can only remember it as a film reel... with small portions cut off. I guess it is what I saw between losing consciousness. But for all I know I might've even dreamt these things instead! I am lying on the road with a wheel over my leg. People all around are yelling at the driver. He raised the accelerator. Amma is...looking.. ( I don't know what I took the expression as... I didn't even underst...

.. and just like that I've hit a landmark of 30 years!

  24th August 1991. The day a lot changed for me and my family.  From being just another 8-year-old on an annual holiday to visit family in India, I turned into 'an inspiration' - I became an amputee who could probably not fathom what really happened. But 30 years later I must say that the accident and the amputation was what shaped the rest of my life in the best way possible. Because today regardless of what life throws at me, I have the strength of character, the will and the never-say-die attitude to see my through it. When I was thrown the biggest challenge, by far, in my life last year. It is only my faith and my attitude that helped me survive it. As always, I had to stay strong because that is all I knew to be. With all the love and support and prayers we received, my husband did survive and recover. We are on the path to a complete recovery and faith and strength is what will see us through. This post is not a grim reminder of what 'happened to me' and how I ma...
