Broken heart hurts more than a broken skull

It was a bright sunny day.
I just met a person while walking back home with my friend. 

Me and the stranger stopped seeing each other.
Yes our eyes did meet and they refused to break the connection.
After some seconds had passed, my friend did break the connection and asked, "Do you know him?".
With some hesitation I replied, "No".
Yes, I know I lied to my best friend.

We both turned away from the stranger while I heard some words falling out from his mouth.
"You have changed a lot"

My heart stopped beating for a second 💔
Because after all these years I heard the voice again.
I turned back trying not to look into his powerful eyes.
But it was very difficult his eyes had the power to attract mine.

My friend stood confused
I know she must be angry that I lied.

After gulping back my tears I asked him, "What did you say?" as though I heard nothing,
But actually I did.

He still replied, "You have changed a lot" he said.

My mind started some weird noises, "Changed, what does he mean?"

"I mean in a good way" he added on to his previous statement as though he could read my mind

My mind again blabbered some nonsense.
But I after two or three deep breaths I spoke confidently,

"Yes I have changed a lot,
I have learnt to live on my own,
I have started to live my life the way I wanted to,
I have started focusing on my career,
I have started to wear the outfits that I love,
I have learnt to love myself,
I have stopped depending on others,
I have stopped crying,
I have started smiling even with pain,
I have learnt to avoid the people who hurt me,
I have learnt to overcome failures,
And yes, I have moved on after the biggest failure of my life
And that is *YOU*"

I didn't want to continue the conversation with him
I said a bye and quickly left the place.

Yes my heart did know that I lied, but this lie will definitely become true one day I will overcome this failure one day.

Waiting for that day....

Love hurts

MY CANCER STORY - Chapter Two

CHAPTER TWO - Secret behind the Shadows 1st Dec 2020, everyone wanting the horrible year to end soon and me just hoping my X-ray to be Normal. But it was not, the doctor found some mediastinal widening, he asked me to do more tests. The doctor suspected to be Tuberculosis and even I thought it could be TB, I must have contracted it from my patients. 2 days passed, got my CT report, for the first time I got shattered because of my report. The report stated that I have enlarged lymph nodes all over my mediastinal area. It could be Tuberculosis but the report also stated another word "LYMPHOMA". My mom started crying and my adrenaline was in its peak.  I called my doctor, he gave me some confidence and told me not to decide anything until the biopsy confirms the diagnosis. I was not in Chennai, had to go to another doctor in Coimbatore. Thanks to my doctor again, he referred me to the right person. The doctors decided to do an excision biopsy of the nodule in my neck.  ...

My Life after CANCER

Image
I have been writing this for a long time now, but I don't know how my loved ones and everyone around me would react to this. I have been having this in my mind for around 6 months now and I did not know how to handle it. My best way always was to write it down and here I am doing it finally. This is not to hurt anyone or to portray negativity. This is to tell you guys how I feel and also to make you know that I am not positive always.  During chemotherapy everyday someone would tell me.. "this will be over soon and you will be back to normal" I believed it at that time.. But it did not happen.. and my life is not normal again and I understand it will never be normal again..  My close people told me.. We would celebrate after I win over cancer.. But even after my chemotherapy is over.. even after my scan reports are clear.. I am not ready to celebrate as I am still fighting cancer.. And you know what is the worst part.. Even now the blame game continues.. When I was diagno...

MY CANCER STORY - Chapter One

CHAPTER ONE - The Starting Point I don't remember where all of this started, definitely not one fine day, it was a gradual process. The first thing I noted that my body is not the same was a long way back, may be 2 years back. I started getting a weird rash which was a red patch sometimes in my arm, sometimes in my leg and many times it was on my face. I also has severe myalgia and my ankle seemed to be swollen, I tested it myself and concluded it be pitting edema but no one knew the reason. I was studying in a medical institution and this made it a little worse, everyone around me had some knowledge about human systems, found that my symptoms seemed to correlate with rheumatoid diseases. This made me a little nervous, told it to my parents, went to my family doctor, he ran some tests and all the results came negative and the doctor said I was completely normal.  But I knew something was not alright and this time the weighing scale took its turn to increase my anxiety. I have put o...
