This Moment Matters
infinithoughts|June 2017 - Take the HOSTAGE off the EQUATION

Bubbling with energy like a young puppy, a warm smile with joyful sincerity, as relaxed as a tourist on a hammock on a pleasant beach, an open mind as that of an infant and so on…

Gayathri Ramachandran
This Moment Matters

I can keep adding many more to this long wish list of delightful qualities that each one yearns to possess. And that is how, I choose to best describe Seetha, a close friend of ours, who is setting foot into her senior citizenship shortly! I cannot think of any other way of describing her on this day. I may have of course described her very differently some 10 years back. I have seen her for over 2 decades and I should say that I considerably took part in her life journey of crests and troughs in the capacity of a close friend and well-wisher.

'When life gets tough the tough get going,' this timeless proverb mimics her life story in a slightly different viewpoint. Her life progressed smoothly akin to the smooth and graceful autumn rivers till it hit rock bottom. The first catastrophe struck her when she lost her beloved brother to a medical condition that the best of doctors could not cure. She was shaken so badly that it took her quite some time to come out of grief, only to be hit by another. A massive cardiac arrest resulted in the unexpected death of her husband, leaving her alone with her aged parents. The aged couple were solely dependent on her for their livelihood. She accepted what fate had in-store for her and decided to move on with a single purpose in mind - to take the best care of her aging parents and provide them the comfort that old age seeks. She was everything to them and so were they.
