Thought I would write a lot about my recent trip to Vizag and Tyada, but can’t. The day I landed in the city, I heard something that shook the ground off my feet. A little girl, one of my cousin’s children, succumbed to leukemia. All this happened in a matter of week. A seemingly healthy, 10 year old girl, learning basketball and excelling at school is down with mild fever and within a week things unfold and the disease shows it worst face gripping the little life and the ones around her.
Aspirations, dreams of a bright life are ripped off in a single blow and the worst was yet to come; the painful treatment. I do not want to provide facts and figures, coz they really do not make any sense once life is lost. The thing that troubles me is that while I was busy getting on with the chores of life, trying to make a difference, trying to fulfill my ambitions and goals, fighting my petty wars, someone, far younger than me, was fighting the worst battle ever; the battle for survival. And yet I couldn’t do much.
Life goes on….
