i know lot of ppl get cancer...but i have seen this young mother staying positive with a smiling face.she has inspired the whole community here.her postive spirit
cANCER AND WILL POWER
.....after a visit to the hospital for the check ups she was once again diagnosed with a cancerous ulcer in by now her nonexistent abdomen.
She a fighter and with an intense desire to live, if not for herself but for me,
With Subhash, the surgeon who had performed her earlier operation in Base Hospital Delhi now Maj Gen and posted at RR Hospital, we were very optimistic of her problem getting resolved. Unfortunately, on looking at her and her papers, he in a very brusque manner opined ‘We can’t do any thing for you’.
With the final verdict pronounced, I was heart broken but Jeet was made of different mettle ‘There is some thing known as will power’ she exclaimed with a steely determination in her voice..
Once again our fight for the battle that I desperately hoped to win began. I was sure that I could bring her out from the problem-seeing her guts and determination her desire to live not so much for herself but for me and her two children Chotoo and Chotta......

Sir,
I also strongly believe that anyone with a deadly ailment like cancer would have developed some extra will power, tolerance and pain bearing strength.
My youngest brother, who died of long illness and suffering caused by deadly Leukemia, had this rare strength and power. He remained in Rajive Gandhi Cancer institute for one year from Jan27, 2000 to jan27, 2001. We all feel now and then that he was bestowed with extra strength and pain bearing capacity and never ever faltered mentally during the long and painful journey.
He was always optimistic about his complete recovery. He had some beliefs that he followed till the last he remained in Hospital. He had chosen a corner bed facing windows to two directions from where he could look at life moving on two adjoining roads. One window was facing the big park that would remain full of life specially on weekends. He always requested the Hospital authorities for the same bed whenever he would come back from a short break at home.
Another custom he followed religiously during his hospitalization was his insistence on not using a white sheet or blanket to cover himself
He would always remain cheerful in spite of unbearable pain caused by chemotherapy.
The only time I found him restless was the day before his final departure. That last meeting is still vivid in my mind as he wouldn’t meet my eyes for the first time and looked away towards the openness and vastness of the empty park. By then, he had realized that he was loosing the battle that he fought so bravely and courageously.
The previous day, he had asked my father that he wanted to see the kids( my niece Divya and nephew Vikram)
Around that time he stopped his interaction with my Cousin Somveer who remained with him during his last weeks. Somveer is a very humorous person who could crack many jokes in very 2 adverse conditions. He would feel very comfortable in his company. That day even Somveer failed to cheer him up! By seeing his abnormal behavior I realized that, my little brother is ready to move on! My eyes blurred with tears and than came my last words, ‘ भाई,अब अपने आप को उसके हाथों में सोंप दे"! He looked at me with dry eyes, pressed my shoulder, smiled and nodded as saying,” I bid you final audeu, Big brother!”
I got up and walked away, having no courage to look at him for the last time!
