Tough experiences , naturally!?

Posted on by Sushmita Sahay

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

Like now , Gullian Barre Syndrome took me down when everything was looking up… I learnt that no personal belongings matter…

I was on life support for days, in a hospital gown,bereft of all my gold trinkets,my favourite watch,my coveted footwear,my beautiful dresses and without touching my lipsticks ,kohl, perfumes and without driving around my car… Life was limited to an elevated automatic bed, beeps around me, and that constant pricking cannula running life saving stuff into me.

Twenty years ago,I was involved in a head-on car crash, with someone else at the wheel. Then, I had thought I had come out of it wiser,but the madness of youth took over!!😁 All lessons were forgotten, and I was none the wiser for all the follies that followed!!

This time around, I have started looking at life differently( hopefully) . Don’t ask me to explain, but people and their words are just passing me by, not much is staying on to hurt,to nudge,to make me not smile or shrug things off or feel too happy / angry about something and lose my nuts…

Probably,at the end of this ordeal, I may be an enlightened soul😄Aura , angelic glow and all that, you never know!!😇

  4. I know that and been there strapped to a hospital bed with a bruised arm with cannula pricks. You are strong you have come out of that hospital gate scathed or unscathed does not matter.

  6. What a powerful reminder of what truly matters. Sometimes life strips everything away so we can see clearly what was always important. I’m grateful you made it through to tell this story—with your humor still intact.

  7. The saga called LIFE is much more yet much less than the sum total of the dreams and the drama it holds, I believe(!) now, as my hair shades gray with the years that fly past. N the unfortunate episodes, a sudden shift in tones of health, of conflicts unthought of, jolts us back into focus… to sift the imp from the trivial to see clear, what really matters ❤ Sush you are a stalwart ever. Stand tall and gear up for the milestones to make ❤ This is the ‘rest mode’ for you in disguise to rise up strong & much more powerful to inspire the people around you to hold on ❤ Take care dear ❤

Expressed words carry a world of meaning in them. I love to read, write and speak. Sharing my random musings here is a pleasure 😊
