...another face of life

...This weekend taught me a lot..I am richer..sadder??I dont know...time will decide.

Saturday sun was welcome & I thoroughly enjoyed my drive to Delhi..I was so looking forward to meeting my folks..dont know why, we dont agree on anything when we are together!!!
Mom had organized a Shiv puja for maasi's long life...very interesting ritual, where panditji in the temple keeps chanting mantras while a stream of water and milk keeps falling on the shiv lingam..we managed to get maasi to the temple and she too participated in the puja, in her little ways.Her right hand has almost paralyzed..and she seems completely drained of energy..
I remember going to her as a kid to finish my needle work, she was so good at it...the same hand is useless now, she cant even eat without help...HOW MUCH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED, not realizing how lucky & blessed we are..

..Sunday morning I had to take her to India's number one oncologist, who comes to Delhi once a month..I hear it is easier to meet God than him...
Anyways, after a couple of hours of waiting we got to meet him...I have never seen a more approachable, warm, smiling doctor...so patient, he has patience to listen to everything you want to say..and meets over 200 patients in a day when he comes to Delhi..most people get cured after speaking with him...& guess what ??he is wheel chair bound...suffering from polio..
..I have been feeling like a useles worm ..I need to look for a better definition of ACHIEVEMENT.

..anyways, he says maasi has a long way to goo...lot of mediccation..& no guarantees...but then nothing comes with a lifetime guarantee..I have FAITH in God..he will take care..

Tomorrow is Monday..another week...more commitments..hope I fulfill them all...each one of us has a role to perform , irrespective of what's going on in our mind and heart...
...take care...we are blessed to have found each other
