For A fighter...Neelima

She was my first cousin...when we were kids,she was motherly sister..I had always seen her working & comforting others.She used to take care of everyone.Although she was very human,but she was a caring creature by nature.She was the one whom we can consider as an average Indian women,who takes care of everybody and consider herself the least important individual of world.She was the one...

 As time passes,we lost touch.Our equation was just non existing,in between when I was too busy in my life with my part of problems. I came to know she is fighting with a bigger enemy,BREAST CANCER.Since,connection & conversation was just on hold from quiet some time. I just prayed & expected that she will be doing well soon after all its not an age to die... I can't imagine her to die after all....I do not know the reason for my thought..

               Yesterday,I came to know that she lost her battle with cancer. I couldn't sleep last night.I felt that I couldn't do anything for her, I couldn't even talk to her although that was not intentionally still. Why??? Did I take her granted or because I couldn't imagine her die. It may sound strange but its just that I thought she was so young to die.I was so occupied,in planning my motherhood,my career clashes,my married life & of course my social networking.I never consider contacting her because she was not in my friend list.

When she is no more I want to find the root cause of her death. Was it just Breast cancer?

            Wasn't her ignorance because of which she could know about this in last stage responsible.It's just one night thought that I will create awareness.I think,its not just about her. Its about all middle class women who are not concerned about their health.From morning to evening she is busy in cooking,washing,cleaning working and what not but she never look at her body..if she is going out she may put a nice saari but she wont consider going to doctor for a bad headache.She can take care of husband's socks but her shocks doesn't matter for her.

LADIES...WAKE UP.

Think about those kids without you & you will start loving yourself. You should also be among your loved ones... I miss her.. I will always and I know "Ignorance is not Virtue.." My Initiative "NEELIMA" will not be only on-line.. I will attend workshop about Breast Cancer & will collect as much information about it & very soon I will start my own workshops of awareness. Join hands in my this journey...Please pour your ideas.Which can help me make it more effective,more productive,,,
