Yet another day....

JNU Munirka, New Delhi

Finally, we came back to delhi on 10 July and 12th night she flew back home. Its the first time she went before scheduled time but I think it was necessary. She reached back safely and once again went through all the tests and fortunately the stone is cleared through medicines so she didnt have to go through operation but still some infection is left. So it'll take a while to get fully well. She is not happy to return early but i'm happy that she is safe. last 2 days in delhi we had lot of fun...11 july is her b'day so went out to watch movie early morning show and then in evening had dinner at Mezban with my younger brother and friend Karunakar. I'm happy at least on this day she was with me and without any pain. 

So, once again a memorable journey with some unforgettable moments. And as they taught us in Vipassana to 'just observe' everything around  and within us without reacting or involving as everything is impermanent. I'm observing every every good and bad moment.

Fortis Hospital, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh

Today she is feeling much better than yesterday... but still she is very weak and it will take time to recover completely. we decided that it would be better if she operate the stone in Russia not here so that she can fly normally back. i booked a ticket for Delhi tomorrow. hope we reach Delhi safely...and then on 11 or 12 fly to Russia. for now this is the plan...let's see how it goes....

Testing Times

Kangra, Himachal Pradesh

Testing times are ahead... the journey came to abrupt halt due to unexpected turn of events in dharamkot. it was only 5th day of vipassana and everything was going perfectly fine and suddenly in evening i came to know that Nadya is not feeling well and after looking at her condition i decided to leave immediately from there n take her to hospital. it was already 7 in evening and nearest hospital was 25 km from dharamkot at dharamshala. as we reached to emergency ward, doctor wrote some medicines, it was already late for tests as all shops were already closed. so i got the medicines and after taking first dose she started feeling better, i also got a bit relaxed. then we got the nearest hotel from hospital to spend the night n do the tests in morning... but that was not wat happened...around mid night she again started feeling severe pain in abdomen and she was severely shivering with cold. i got so scared...i went out...everything was closed... i ran to hospital...somehow managed to arrange an ambulance and brought her again to hospital... but these people refused to do anything and referred her to a private hospital in another city...which was 30 km away....and 1 night nobody to drive us there....when i said i'll pay whatever u ask...only then one private ambulance agreed to take us there. it was an 40 minute ride....but it felt like 2 hours....nadya was falling unconscious.... i was so damn scared... one of the worst nights of my life. somehow we reached fortis hospital at kangra...went straight to emergency... they took hold of the situation and after half n hour she felt little better. a lot of tests were done immediately. in all this mess i forgot to bring enough money and atm card....but these people were kind enough to admit her without advance. i sat with her till 5 morning...then took a bus to dharamshala to get money and our stuff from hotel. while returning i took a taxi as i had 3 bags to carry...went in Rs.25 returned in Rs.500. anyway, money was not important at this point. after all reports it seems she has a stone in kidney....and it needs to operated through laser...tomorrow once again an x-ray will be done to be sure about it. i just pray that she gets fine as soon as possible... cant see her in so much pain...(((

towards silence....
