A BIT OF ME!

Hi

Preeti Arora here.. Mumbaikar.. Love life n my people. That's the base of my experience that am sharing here 

This happened about 15 years back.. Me with my one year old.. hanging out with my society ladies one late evening.. Gradually it became dark. Suddenly power off... a small boy lived at the backside of our society had come in the front area for tuitions... begged me if I could escort him to his building. I agreed..handed my kiddo to a friend n took him towards his house.. We reached the spot... I stood against a cement plank.. near his building.. waiting for him to reach the same.

Out of nowhere.. three stray dogs pounced on me from behind n I fell badly on the plank.. One hand n leg fractured.. One right hand wrist permanently broken.. now attached to the hand with the help of nails.. n one leg... bones completely crushed beyond repairs.. .now a rod inside..Hospitalised for 22 days n bedrest for 4 n half years. 

Life was hell.. Old in-laws.. One year old daughter.. home in a mess.. Used to cry endlessly.. Why me? 

Full time maid.. Nurse to dress my wounds.. Cook... Expenses in abundant.. Leave alone the 2. 5 lac hospital bill!! 

One morning.. Woke up.. crying.. lots of time to sulk in depression.. Suddenly.. Ma in law entered... enquired about my pain.. Jabse tuh bistar pe.. duniya hi ruk gayi humari... Within minutes she left.. But her words didn't!! 

Something in me that day became alive... again.. My confidence!! 

From that day... No tears.. No regrets.. Reading good books.. Listening to peppy numbers.. joking with family members... Yes.. Apart from medicines... MY POSITIVITY PAID OFF!!!! 

Today.. A slight limp.. A slightly shivering hand... But a heart.. Strong determined n a never dying smile on my lips... Yes.. Being boastful... But today am an inspiration to many!! 

A word from me...

Everything will be alright. If not today, then definitely tomorrow. May be you're going through the worst phase of your life but know that you'll be alright. May be you've already shown much patience by now and you're tired of it already but know that you've not come this far to just give up. 

Your loved one broke up with you, cheated on you and you're going nuts about it. You should know that your life doesn't end there and no matter what your life wouldn't stay there either, It will take some time, some extra ordinary efforts and it'll ask for lots of patience but I promise you that you'll be alright. Your friends ignore you for being so upfront honest and never asks you out too, Don't change yourself, do make better deserving friends and I promise that you'll be alright. You don't smile much because you've gone through a lot already. People consider you rude? Don't worry, You aren't rude. They understand you or make fun of you, You should know that you'll be alright. You lost someone close in your life and it's difficult for you to live life without that person, Go out of your way to be happy for that closed one, Smile artificially at times and allow yourself to be happy and I promise that you'll be alright.

In this world, You'll get many people who would crib about the unfair world. But you're here and very much alive. Why not to make the best out of it and spread positivity everywhere across and give each other the most needed support? Too much to ask? Too much to do? Ah! I don't think so. Think about the times when you were sad, I am sure you've lost quite a quality of time. Would you like to continue it the same way even further? I won't! I'll be happy and make others happy. If I'm not feeling well I am sure someone will walk upto me, hug me and tell me that- 'You will be alright'.
