About me




Writing of a blog was in me for a long time. I even had the website registered over 10 years ago and have been paying for it ! What really got me started was the recent diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

The idea of the blog is not to give out gory details about treatment but rather a space where I can talk about what is important to me as I make this journey. I am not sure what the outcome will be but nevertheless it is a trying journey and I am travelling it. So I thought I will pen down my thoughts along the way as and when I feel like it. 

I live with my family, I work, I do craft, I meditate, I love watching movies. 


About the site name - it is actually a play on words. I used to be a software engineer for over 20 years and not any more. So the name should be read as , my life after IT=> myITlife (life is placed after IT) ! 😀

Public bus

Life is like a public bus With you the driver  The road the journey  One way street, winding, around bends and hills Passing all sorts of scenery, places, people Sometimes we slow down and pause  Put our lives on hold for others  Traffic lights, junctions, intersections  Priorities, responsibilities, duties People come into our lives and leave us Passengers getting on and off But we keep driving on Cancer is like the drunkard who got onboard  Disturbing the peace - annoying everyone Making rude noises - shouting slurs at everyone But we keep driving on - continuing our journey Not breaking pace - not breaking our stride Passengers will sympathise with you and cheer you on  You smile knowingly and acknowledge their support  Sometimes he might get off at a stop And bring back peace and order  But he will leave a residue within And the journey will be forever marred  Or perhaps he might go with us  To the end of the journey Who knows? ...

A royal sickness and a public story

Image
  After all the conspiracy theories, when there was an announcement that the Princess is taking treatment for cancer, everyone took a step back from the poking and prodding.   I just couldn't but help look back at how my family handled my diagnosis and treatment. The funny thing is actually there weren't much difference. They followed similar tack ticks. There was a big family event coming up and I was not going to be attending. My family went into over drive immediately planning and figuring out , what to tell, how to tell, when to tell and whom to tell.  Initially they would confirm to anyone who asks that I was attending. As the date got close, they began to say "Maybe she might not attend as she might have to under go an operation. Waiting on doctors advice" By this time I had already had surgery and was on to chemo. On the day they just said that I couldn't get time off from work.  I am not saying we are important like the Royal Family, just that any family...

The Aliens in my house

  The Aliens in my house Not the extra terrestrial kind No, not at all These are the ones  I choose to live with Day in and day out First there is the Living breathing talking kind Walking about in their pyjamas Always asking questions "Where are my shoes?" "Where are the car keys?" "Where is food?" Never ending list of questions That I need to find answers to Then there is the invisible kind Always in my head Without speaking Without showing themselves Giving all the answers Directly to my mind "5 years" "49%" "Less than 30" I think I need to pick a side Who I like better Questioners or Answerers? Pretty simple choice really When you think about it I'd rather have the questions And create my own answers Than being given answers To questions I don't ask !
