USKA CANCER MERA CANCER

Wouldnt an incident of cancer afflicting someone in your family cause tremendous turmoil within you?As a poet I put both the happy ad sad moments in my life on paper and while doing this I often magnify my happiness a million times and dwarf my sorrows to an even greater degree. Writing breaks all your inhibitions and makes you share your innermost feelings and emotions with the world just like I have done in this book. I wish I could get inside the minds of cancer patients and their loved ones and dwell there as they read this book. If I could do that I might succeed in telling them that in this life - which is vaster and deeper than any ocean - unaccountable and unpredictable things do happen. As with the oceans no one can fathom what lies beneath. There are tides and ebbs; cyclones and calm spells. And churning hrows up so many things .one by one. Our lives are therefore very similar to the oceans. My nanny used to say - this too shall pass and the one truth of life is that everything however good or bad does eventually come to pass.
