A year ago!

So today it's been an year "16th July 2015-16th July 2016"! Same day last year while I was occupied making plans with my friends to go around the city of Mumbai, I met with an crackup. An accident such that, made me rest in bed for half a year straight. This year, from this date last year to today has been life changing for me. Be it a year of regaining health, preparing myself for all that is to come, a year of my graduation, a year of lot of adios , a year of some freshly formed relationships, a year of mental and physical recovery, and still a lot more to add on!

From such unsparing pain where I couldn’t sleep for 3 days and nights all at once, to eternal support of family and friends that made me stand back on my feet. 

Where, on day one, 

I could consider and foresee nothing but a gloomy future, a downward sloping career, 

today,

I'm on a notch where no negativity can affect me! This year wasn't easy, but undeniably worth experiencing and worth a thousand lessons and morals!

When we are at a stage where we are emotionally collapsed, when we can contemplate no other way things can work out, we have two flip-sides with us. 

One, either we can go deeper into the circle of depression and disconnect ourselves forever, 

second, try and put genuine efforts to get out of all of it. Thankfully I could be among the second one because of my doctors, my family and my friends!

There were months where doctor had put me on heavy medication, so heavy and extreme that were urgently needed to heal my body but my body refused to accept it and I collapsed,  there were days my emotions  couldn’t be handled by myself or anybody else around, but I'm extremely happy to conclude all of this as my past. No more medications to pay heed to, no more pain, no more those sad, gloomy faces and days and most importantly that I'm back on my feet without any major surgery!

I was never a good book reader. I read books as rare as one or two books a year but this period of one year made me a devoted reader. I guess you really don’t have a lot of options to pass your time with when you are bed ridden for 6 months! I read over 15 books, book that filled me with positivity and self realization books! it made me believe that books really are your best friends! It was during this time, when my dad and my best friend forced me into writing blogs, and it was then that I realized how happy, content and relaxed I feel putting my thoughts into words!

I don’t want to remember all of it as something very painful or something that I will never forget as an accident, instead I will always remember this period as a life transforming. A year that made me a better person, a positive thinker, a 'how to always be happy' person, a 'how to be content with whatever you have' person. I'm happy to have overcome all the things so quick and well because of people around and their support. This wasn’t possible without my family and a few best friends that I have being by my side 24*7 , always ready to talk to me, spend time with me, make me understand things, and most importantly teach me to be positive.

All I can think of and conclude my experience as, is that, a positive mind and a little time and space can heal all your wounds, may be not completely but most of it! What once to me seemed next to impossible is today my reality! I couldn’t ask god for anything else. I'm happy and content with my life, with the people that I have in it, with whatever I'm doing today, and am ready to face all that is to come! Cheers to this beautiful gift of God to us, Life!
