About this listen

"When you see that you have lost everything, surrender yourself to the mystic laws of the universe, and see the magic that unfolds" - Dimple Parmar People lose hope when they lose what is dearest to them. We all do; even I did. I lost everything with Nitesh, the husband I married after knowing that he had Stage IV colorectal cancer. When I lost him, I lost everything. I surrendered myself to destiny with my empty hands open. Never knew that life could be so beautiful and fulfilling again.

  • Fighting against the storm....literally
    Sep 21 2020
    August 2017: Hurricane Harvey struck not only Texas, but also our lives. In search for cancer treatment, we set on an arduous journey from India to MD Anderson Texas, but had to divert to Chicago and then San Francisco due to Hurricane Harvey. I knew from the beginning that something was not right. We were first not getting approval from the offshore hospital. When we got the approval after insisting a lot, our visas got stuck. When we got the visa by flying across three cities - all within 14 hours - we were about to miss our flight to Texas. And when we finally got onboard, we were diverted to Chicago and then San Francisco. The journey was difficult, but we went against all odds to save that one life because we knew that this could be the beginning of a new journey.

  • Dark clouds coming over
    May 28 2020
    We finally thought that our life was about to enter into a new phase of happiness and joy after a long and difficult period of struggle. However, we were unaware of the dark clouds that were coming to take us down. We had nowhere to go, and nowhere to hide. It was even difficult to face each other, me knowing that he would soon die, and that I had to hide this from him. I could feel that we were sinking in a deep dark hole, and I couldn’t see any way out of it. With each passing day, we were sinking further in the loop of mixed emotions, fear, endless treatment and intolerable side-effects. But this time, there was no definite end to what we were going through. Each moment, I was looking for something that might not even exist, but something that could give us hope.

  • Finding happiness amidst chaos
    Apr 25 2020
    Walking down the memory lane, I sometimes ask myself.............what is chaos? "Entering into a new phase of life...taking responsibility to heal your loved one...running around hospitals...pain during chemo cycles...fear of shutting down startup...guilt of not being able to help brother...placement pressure...college classes...cooking meals...fracture in backbone...???" No... Chaos is nothing but a reminder to re-prioritize things. What is important is to find happiness and peace amidst all the chaos. I found my peace and happiness when my parents arrived and showered us with love, care and support. Happiness was Joka me Roka (English: engagement) after convocation. Happiness was seeing my loved one smile without shedding a tear. This episode is about happiness amidst chaos...
