Today is the first anniversary of the July 26 floods in bombay. I was one of those thousands
of people who were stranded that day. I had to walk for almost 7 hrs in the floods (many
places wih waist deep water and some places even chest deep). It is an experience I can never forget in my life. When I think of how I managed to walk for so many hrs in such terrible conditions, I am really baffled.I cant but thank the almighty for having given me such a courage to handle that day.

One year from that, now I am finding myself in another challenge, albeit of a different
kind. I had a slip disc in my back some time back and yesterday, doctors advised me a 24 hr
bed rest for atleast a month. From some one who walked for 7 hrs in floods, to someone who
is not even allowed to sit for more that 10 minutes is something really saddening. Here too, I am confident of bouncing back from this crisis and be back with renewed vigour in a months time. I am sure God will give me the courage to face this too and come out undeterred.
