So not much is told to anyone suffering from Multiple Sclerosis… you seem to be part of a secret society where the rules are different for each one of us. But unlike a secret society, we don’t meet at exotic, interesting locations… we usually end up in a hospital- easily one of the most boring, depressing places on earth! So yesterday was an MS … Read More When It Pains…

The #TenYearChallenge got me thinking- not of how I looked back then… With the correct filters , most people looked better, hotter and (though absolutely unbelievable) even younger in their current pic; but about who I was back then, what I believed in, what I wanted and how who I have become would measure up. In 2009, I didn’t know I had Multiple Sclerosis … Read More My #TenYearChallenge

Start your day saying this. Even on the days where everything hurts, nothing wants to wake up and where the bed is your only friend. Today I feel good. Say it when everything is going stupidly wrong and when no-one around you is even trying to make sense and all that you created or worked for is shot to hell. Today I feel good. … Read More Today I feel good.

So over a dinner with friends the other evening, it seemed like everyone was suffering the same malady… ‘I’m exhausted!’… ‘Done by 9!’….’Cant’t get out! Don’t even want to!’ The problem, we realised was not age… (despite the snickering yawns) or our jobs even…. it was just mental fatigue and the aversion to just do anything after the very long days we were … Read More The Exhaustion of Being

They call Life – the ‘rat-race!’ They call Life-‘a fight’; ‘a struggle!’ They glorify fighting for what you believe in and sometimes in all the madness of fighting, you forget what you’re fighting for. They tell you that you must ‘Fight for love’ and Fight for your dream’ and then ‘Fight to stay alive and afloat!’ And they forget that in the midst of … Read More The Big Fight

In a world of hate, we could do with a little bit of love… Life has changed so very much… Where our parents got married in they’re early twenties, we choose to spend our twenties working or traveling or if we’re lucky- doing both! We spend our lives on social networking sites and learn to market ourselves like a product- coldly and calmly and … Read More Love- is that really the crime?

Remember when you told me I wouldn’t work again… I was scared of what you could do… but I kept trying and I kept working. And you… you who told me that I’d never amount to much… Well to some people…I amount to their whole lives… so that’s a lot I think! And to the ones who said I was hard hearted and would … Read More To those who said I couldn’t
