whenever a priesthood holder blessed me, he would say these words, almost every one of them..." I bless you that angels will guard you always "...

My life has always been filled with intresting and dangerous experiences..

and many angels like last week...

I went to a docter for counselling, and he prescribed some drugs, though I asked him why? as there was no need for them, he only insisted.

later that night I felt weak and did not go to work but simply slept.

I awoke in the middle of the night, some weird pain rocking me,

I was only semiconscious and I could feel myself thrashing around in the bed, I had no control over my limbs, the only thing that filled my mind was pain and fear that I might worsen the injury in my knee which I had for quite some time.

for hours I suffered slipping in and out of consciousness till I blacked out.

hours later I awoke, it was time for work, I was tired but dragged myself to work. after taking the drug the docter had prescribed. I never had a seizure in my life and last nights experience came like a shock.

at work while taking calls, I started to feel dizzy,I was in midst of a call and the computer screen kept swirling around me like a white mist. no matter how much I tried, to focus, I couldnt. I asked my teamleader if he could let me go for a few minutes so that I could fix the dizziness, he agreed and I ran to the rest room, splashed water over my face but to no avail.

a girl nearby noticed me and offered me electral to help me get better, she did not find it in her bag so she suggested that we go to the docter who works in the other building.

I agreed, the docter asked me when I ate and was shocked when I replied that I had eaten an hour back, he enquired how many times I felt dizzy and I casually said about 5 times in the last half hour. his expression was incredulous, that is not normal, he said, he checked my blood pressure which was perfect, and he asked what all I had eaten thinking I had eaten very little, I mentioned medicine and he asked what I was taking. both of us looked up thew drug and to my surprise the medicine was causing so many adverse effects ranging from brain damage to heart and kidney disorders, few of which I recognised I was experiencing including the seizure.

a person could safely take about 50 mg a day and I was asked to take 150 mg........

when I asked the person who prescribed the drug he only defended himself and asked me to continue the drug and wanted me to get hospitalised for free. so that I can be supervised for seven to ten days while I take 150 mg of the same drug...

he did not know that I found out all about the drug.

the docter who found the truth about the drug asked me to check the person`s credentials, not to get hospitalised, stop the drug immediately as there was no need for me to take any and not go back to the docter again.

My health was affected badly by then, I felt dizzy all the time and the right half of my brain would go numb..It took me 4 days to recover.

I am grateful to the girl and to the docter who helped me out..

If it hadnt been for them, I would have been in the ICU or dead. and being alone, no one would have ever known what had happened to me..

Once again I was saved...

and I will never forget the words the docter who helped me said that night...

he reminded me of my strenght and said, " I will never believe that a 19 year old girl who stood on her own feet and survived on her own for two years on a meagre income and who is now working in a reputed organisation after completing her graduation...would get easily depressed....."

It changed my attitude, as my best friend always said, going to Pune is a learning experience...

I was upset that I was far from church but this was a learning experience indeed, I learnt I could be closer to god wherever I am if Only I remember who I am and try to be worthy...
