#BHAWNAsays:
CANCER is for real but my FAMILY and their love care and attention is the most PRECIOUS in these times
She continues :
April 1st, 2022, turned into my biggest nightmare when I received the news that I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Cancer doesn’t come alone; it also brings fear, anxiety, and depression along with it. However, I’m blessed with a wonderful family and friends who have helped me immensely. This journey inspired me to write a short book about the challenges we faced, how we handled them, and, most importantly, the lessons learned along the way.
Two things from the Bhagavad Gita that helped me the most are…
कर्म करो फल की चिंता मत करो (do your duty without thinking about any results)
Focus on the process, whatever it may be, with complete honesty, and leave the results to God and let the fear take backseat and fill your life with family love .
Faith in higher power is everything.
She also adds :
In these tough times you are surrounded by love—by the love of family that holds you up even when you feel like you can’t stand on your own. In moments of fear, doubt, and pain, remember that you are never truly alone. The bond of family is unbreakable, and it’s in the quiet moments of togetherness that you’ll find strength you didn’t know you had.
The love of your family is a quiet force. And It’s in the small acts of care, the warm meals, the hugs that linger just a little longer, the gentle encouragements that remind you that your journey is shared and you are a winner when you have a family and friend circle like that .
#YASHAsays :
My SHAKTI , my MOM- Swarupa Desai just proud to be your daughter and I hope god makes me HER daughter every LIFE I get.
Lost my dad when I was 3months old but still she stayed rock solid as my MOM and raised her 4 daughters beautifully keeping her ambition and career going strongly.
Swarupa Desai, my MOM is the strongest woman I know. Despite facing hardships and raising four daughters as a single mother, she never gave up on her dreams and goals. Working tirelessly to provide us with the best education and opportunities, she even returned to school at 56 to secure a promotion. Her determination and ambition are truly inspiring, and I am proud to be her daughter.
#PRAGNYAsays:
Love, honor and respect to the Generations of Strong Women in My Life.Where do I start with?!
I am beyond blessed to have been shaped by the resilience, brilliance, and indomitable spirit of the women who came before me. My grandmother, a force of nature in every sense, defied every limitation life tried to impose on her. Married in her teens, she took on the responsibility of not only raising her own five children but also nurturing and guiding her younger in-laws, proving that family is built not just by blood, but by love, sacrifice, and an unwavering sense of duty.
She was a self-taught scholar, mastering six languages, not because she had to, but because she wanted to—because learning was her way of conquering the world. From cooking cuisines that spanned cultures to crafting intricate handmade dolls and awe-inspiring kolams that brought deities to life, she poured artistry into every facet of her existence. Even when rheumatoid arthritis struck in her early twenties, she refused to let it dictate the terms of her life. She fought through pain with grace, turning every challenge into an opportunity to learn, create, and inspire.
If she were born today, there is no doubt in my mind that she would have built an empire—one founded on intelligence, perseverance, and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. She was, and will always be, my greatest example of courage, strength, and an unrelenting zest for life.
I only hope to carry forward her legacy—to embrace challenges as she did, to learn fearlessly, to create boundlessly, and to live fully. May I, and the generations after me, inherit even a fraction of her resilience, for that alone would be enough to shape a lifetime of greatness.
#RAMYAsays:
The Strength That Shaped Us- A brilliant TRIBUTE to her parents.
My father was our greatest strength—our Sakthi. He came from a humble background in a small village called Viratipathu, but with sheer determination and relentless hard work, he built a remarkable life for himself and for us. He pursued his education with unwavering focus, earning an MA, an MBA from IIM Bangalore, and an LLB. His journey was one of perseverance, rising higher and higher in his career through his intelligence and dedication.
My mother is the epitome of sacrifice and patience. Together, my parents built a life where my brother and I were raised with strong values and given the best opportunities they could provide.
However, life had its trials. During my crucial 10th-grade year, circumstances forced my father to leave his job, and we had to move from Calcutta back to Chennai. It was a challenging time for our family, yet my father remained our strength. He ventured into multiple businesses—from running a browsing center to tuition centers—doing everything he could to keep us afloat. Despite his relentless efforts, financial setbacks weighed heavily on us.
That was when my mother became our Sakthi. She held our family together, shouldering every burden with quiet resilience. She became the force that kept my brother and me moving forward, never allowing us to feel defeated, even in the darkest of times.
In 2012, my father’s health took a devastating turn. He was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (MND), a cruel and incurable illness. Doctors gave him only three years to live. One by one, his abilities faded—first his speech, then his ability to walk, and eventually, he lost all movement. In his final stage, he was completely paralyzed for a year. Yet, through my mother’s unwavering care and his own indomitable willpower, he survived for five years. He passed away in 2017, when my son, Riaan, was just six months old.
Through it all, I witnessed an unshakable Sakthi in my mother. She stood by my father’s side, tirelessly caring for him, never once faltering in her love and strength. My father may have been our guiding force, but my mother was the pillar that held us all together.
Their journey, their sacrifices, and their resilience continue to inspire me every single day.
#INDUsays:
My SHAKTI is within me. I hail from a Shaktheya family on my maternal side. We are worshippers of Maa Bala Tripurasundari. I realized Her SHAKTI permeates through every atom and molecule of my body.
I married my ex-husband and came to the U.S. for the first time in 2019. I had high hopes and dreams when I came here. But to my utter surprise and dismay, I was made to slog by my ex-husband and his family at their place of business. With no family or friends in the U.S., my dreams of leading a happy life with my husband turned out to be one of my biggest nightmares. I conceived my baby in a couple of months into marriage and I did not even receive any medical care or treatment. Because of the ongoing abuse, neglect and hostility from my ex-husband and in-laws, I left the U.S. I called out to my parents in India for help.
Abandoned and deserted by my ex-husband, I delivered my baby in India. Being a lawyer I decided to fight for myself. After all, if I couldn’t help myself how would I help my clients? This thought gave me the energy/Shakti to travel back to the U.S., pursue my masters in law, divorce my ex-husband and pursue my career.
I’m grateful to God, my daughter, parents and friends who supported me through this ordeal and last but not the least to the circumstances that helped awaken the Shakti within me.
