ORDINARY WOMAN - EXTRAORDINARY LIFE
I just read about this woman named Kausalya, and HIV positive in a story titled “Woman who redifined positive”. In the end of the story I found that she indeed redifined not just HIV positive but also the word “Positive” in its most positive sense.
I think people like Kausalya are extraordinary creations capable of converting their most dreadful weakness into their biggest strength. And even reading about such people should give us an inspiration that there is much more to do with life than mere existing and cribbing on our deficiencies and what we do not have.
I have always believed in God and preach and try to practice the philosophy that whatever God does is always ultimate good. I have used this phrase on many occasions in my posts and this is one of those stories which gives a lot of impetus to that philosophy, so I thought it is my duty to put up this story on my blog in an effort to instill that belief not only in myself but in as many people as I possibly can.
Here is a person who proudly states that becoming an HIV positive is the most positive thing to happen in her life which has taken to the heights of success she could have never otherwise imagined, being a housewife in a small town in Tamil Nadu.
She has proved that negetives and positives, strength and handicaps, good and bad times are all just subjective terms created in our minds. If we have the courage, we can redefine positive and redifine our life.
MY SALUTATIONS TO KAUSALYA. LONG LIVE SUCH PEOPLE.

Last month Chinmayi was at Hydrabad to participate in the Richard Gere show of aids awareness. There were several positives who made their lives positive and they were so jubilant that it was hard to believe that they were HIV positive.
Many a time we thank god for what we are and such times are the moments when we thank god with a velocity which we cant explain as to how much.
We in our own humble way pray for the welbeing of these people.
Similarly we felt terrible when we visited Jivodaya, a cancer hospice. Chinmayi gave a performance during their annual meeting.

Hi Hadron, did you read my article in The Hindu about a cancer-affected woman called Nalini who fought Cancer and now heads the Apollo Cancer Suppport Group and creating waves? It's all the same.

That was indeed inspirational.
Strangely I do not miss India when it comes to reading the paper. There's good old Hinduonline ...
Ok now I miss India thinking about the times I'd laze around reading the magazines ...
But yea, its stories; sorry - fact and inspirational lives like this which give hope to hope :-)

Hari,
Agree with your thoughts 100%. Such people are indeed an inspiration to others. At the least, we can hope society's prejudices can be removed by her efforts!

Padmasaniji,
It is with these people that we should not only gain inspiration but also realise how much more fortunate we are considering that our battle with life is much easier.

Hi Ramya,
Your offer accepted with folded hands. That would be the most memorable meetings of the many that I have attended till now.
And there are some more like minded friends who would like to join the meet as well. So please do this favour Ramya.
