Thank you for:
1. The call to Hyndavi: It feels great to speak to a doctor who is also a friend. There were several times when I was fearful but then I have been like this for 3 months now. I combat fear every time with hope. It is as if I am blasting the fear out of me through hope.
2. The TED talk: It was magical to hear my name and listen to my story. I also realized that my story was a fact that could be verified.
3. My calmness: Although I was angry on Wednesday, my mind was calm. I have been trying hard to understand why some people I work with are being vitriolic. When I was speaking to them I knew exactly what I was saying. I was really trying to understand where they were coming from. At the end of it I realized it is pointless and I need to choose where I am putting in my energy.
4. Plans! So many of them. The regular conference calls to make our long standing dream a reality. The mail from Pratham Books, the launch meeting in the US and Aditya's fledgling organization- all of them hurtling towards the realization of a dream.
5. 28 November: I was filled with dread. I am glad it was a day full of positivity and promise.
6. Constant reminders of not being superstitious. It helps me a great deal.
7. 17 December: Niya will be back. My friend :)
8. Nostalgia: Its wonderful. Its soothing. Its liberating. and educating.
