Life goes on....(Part-5)

How can a person be so heartless? I cried my eyes out. This was not me. This was someone else. I was completely broken. Two days had passed and there was no one for me. Not even my friends. I decided to forget everything and continue with my studies.

I went to the washroom and washed my face. My phone was switched off for the last two days. I wanted to go back home but I didn’t have any option. I switched on my mobile and saw a lot of messages from my brother. I wondered why he was texting me.

“Nysa, grandpa is not well. He is in the ICU.”

After reading this text I was so shocked that I was unable to think clearly. My grandpa, the most loving and caring person was not well. How could I be so selfish? Suddenly my anger overpowered me. My irritation flared. A wave of fury crashed through me and without thinking about anything I ran towards the library. Harish was standing outside the library. As soon as he saw me he walked closer to me and said, “Thank god you’re back Nysa. I was so scared.”

After seeing his face my molten anger rolled through me and my temper sparked. I slapped him in front of everyone. His face turned red. He looked at me angrily.

“What do you think about yourself? You think girls are weak? Using people who don’t bother you is weak which means you are weak as piss, Mr. Harish. And you know what? You don’t deserve anything. Just being good in studies doesn’t make you a good human being. You want to make a record, right? You want to top the university for one more time. But you won’t be able to do so. This is my open challenge to you.”

Saying this I walked  with a great attitude. Everyone was quiet. Harish looked somewhat shamefaced. He had traded me for his ego and now he was embarrassed in front of everyone.  

I walked quickly towards my room and cried out loudly. No, this was not the tears of guilt or sadness. I was proud of myself. This was me. This was Nysa.

AIDS

 “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” These words were spoken by Martin L. King, Jr.ring so true in my mind today, as I write about the very burning topic of today’s generation “Discrimination against people living with AIDS”. We’ve heard and we’ve learnt about the discrimination done based on caste, gender, job, religion etc. but isn’t it a bit surprising that even people infected with some disease are being discriminated. The person who is fighting with a life-threatening disease is not being treated as a normal human, rather they are being abused, violated in our society. We all know that AIDS (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus). This disease acts like a slow poison and interferes with our ability to fight against other diseases. More than a disease, AIDS has now turned into a stigma and yes, this stigma is not only in underd...

Life goes on....(Last part)

It is impossible for me to remember how many days or weeks went by in this way. Time is round, and it rolls quickly. Today I am Dr. Nysa Frank. I am a neurologist. I have my own clinic in Texas. Everything has changed. I topped the university in the last year. Like my challenge Harish wasn’t able to do so. It really didn’t bother me because I had forgotten everything and moved on. As time passes memories fade away somewhere deep within our heart. You must have suddenly smelled a perfume and been reminded of someone, listening to a particular song you must be remembering someone. That is it, those memories dug deep inside us and try to carve themselves out into your mind. This is what it is called, as time moves…situation changes and life goes on. This is not only my story. It’s for everyone. No one has a perfect life; it is just made to look perfect with right people and thoughts. May be all you need to do to fix problems in your life is to just erase few messages, delete few conta...

Life goes on....(Part-6)

  After sometime I remembered about my grandpas’ health. Immediately after that I called my brother. “Hello, Nysa! Where were you?"He said. “Nick! Where is grandpa? Is he fine? Please let me talk to him.” “Nysa! Calm down. Everything’s fine. Grandpa is much better now. I am confident that he’ll recover fast if you talk to him.” “Yes."Tears rolled down my eyes. Nick handed the phone to grandpa. “Grandpa?” I cried. “Talk to me. I am sorry. I am really very sorry. I was distracted. I was lost somewhere but now I am completely fine. I love you grandpa.” “God bless you, my love. You can never get distracted. You were just going through the test of your life and you have passed successfully. I am proud of you.” A flood of tears gushed down my ashen cheeks. It was painful for me to talk to him. Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. I bent forward where I sat on the floor and pressing my palms to the mat, I began to cry with the f...
