#2 Sethukrishna
When my baby girl was born a year ago,Kiran's family took care of me and the baby very well.I follow Baby chakra and many other FB groups for parenting tips and for specific queries.That irritated the family at first.I did not know how to react as my mom herself had left me.I was not very close to his family as well. But,I would always make it a point to give the best possible to my baby.I would make my point clear gently but firmly.She is 1 year old,the first self fed baby in the whole extended family and is very active.I decided to take a break from work for a few years though looking for freelance opportunities as a strong foundation to the baby is essential.
The struggles of a woman never ceases and that makes her 'naari'.

Myself Sethu Krishna.I am born and brought up in a small village in Kerala.<br>
When I was in 12th class,my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer.My elder brother was in Jaipur for his MBA studies.When I came home after finishing 12th from Jawahar Navodaya vidyalaya boarding school,there was nobody to look after my dad except mom and me.Relatives took advantage of the situation.Here,the real 'me' took birth.I said,I will look after my dad,we don't need anybody.We would hire local taxis to go for chemotherapies to hospital.Some neighbours were helpful. During this time,the erstwhile innocent me who had not seen more than RS.500,started carrying 30000 in my wallet during a hospital visit.We sailed through the situation and I lost my father to the disease in 2007.<br>
After his death,the most unexpected happened.My brother took sides with relatives and started fighting with us for everything.I wanted to pursue MBA but he tried to stop me from doing so.He left us and went to Bangalore.Relatives would come home to brainwash my mom not to educate the girl and I need to be married as soon as possible.But,I was adamant on my demand.I said,even if you don't give me money for my studies,you need to help me procure bank loan that I would pay in future.At last,mom decided to stand with me.The situation was too worse that we decided to escape to Kochi taking a home on rental after my CAT was over.We attended interviews and I got into a reputed college(IMT Nagpur).Mom had come to Nagpur but had to return after 6 months as the climate didnt suit her.<br>
Though,there was campus interviews,a right profile didnt come.I convinced my mom and set my journey to Mumbai.Living in a PG,I searched for job and got into India today in a month bringing mom too.<br>
After a year,we started looking for alliances actively.We found Kiran's profile on Bharat matrimony.At first,the family did not show much interest.Then,I called him and asked whether he is proceeding.That was the touching moment for him.He came to Mumbai convincing his family and we decided to get married.I made marriage arrangements through a friend.I had to visit and arrange everything.We were happily married in 4 months.<br>
We stayed with my mom taking new home.Next problem started then.Mom wanted me to follow her for everything.She wanted me to do what she pleases and would oppose in laws.She left me when I was 7 months pregnant.We stay with Kiran's family since then.My mom stays with relatives now.<br><br>

thing anyone would have to face to. It was during this phase I started recording various activities done by my kid and uploading it on his youtube channel(youtube.yuvaanvlogger). An outlet which we figured out was the best way to keep both of us occupied. I made a social presence for him on all social platforms by the name of @yuvaanvlogger and we both started capturing our wackiness in it. He is currently one of the youngest vlogger in India and we mom/son duo are happy about it.
I am a simple naari with a zeal, with a passion, with a strong willpower, with a never dying attitude, with the urge to keep the smile on my sons face intact.
It’s been 1.6 year and we just pray every night that no more nightmares come in our life and we just get to see miracles.
I always remember the saying “God helps those; who help themselves” and I am just trying to do the same. <b><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://app.babychakra.com/hashtag/extaordinaari"><font color="#2b5998"><span>#</span></font><font color="#2b5998">extaordinaari</font></a></b> <b><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://app.babychakra.com/hashtag/woman"><font color="#2b5998"><span>#</span></font><font color="#2b5998">woman</font></a></b> 'sday

Life can surprise you in a thousand different ways. Good or Bad but it’s on you how you deal with it.<br>
This is me Madhavi, an IT professional having 13+ years of experience. Life changed 7 years before when my son was born and after which it was just the journey of <b><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://app.babychakra.com/hashtag/Motherhood"><font color="#2b5998"><span>#</span></font><font color="#2b5998">Motherhood</font></a></b> which kept me busy and going with all the coos, potty, susu and the beautiful sweet smile. heheh<br>
Life was going cool and happy when a nightmare struck us, and I got detected by a rare disease 1.6 year before namely <b><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://app.babychakra.com/hashtag/AplasticAnemia"><font color="#2b5998"><span>#</span></font><font color="#2b5998">AplasticAnemia</font></a></b> . We witnessed that it just takes a single minute to change the entire world whether sad or happy. <b><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://app.babychakra.com/hashtag/AplasticAnemia"><font color="#2b5998"><span>#</span></font><font color="#2b5998">AplasticAnemia</font></a></b> is a rare but serious blood disorder, a life threatening one. Your bone marrow which generates all types of blood cells in your body suddenly decides to go on a long vacation and technically is termed “defective”. Mind you the vacation period is not known by any one on the earth. It can be 1 year,2year or lifetime. Yeww!! That moment you realize how your body and each part of it is so damn important. When we heard of the disorder, we really didn’t know what exactly we are walking in, but it’s said na “Experience and Exposure teaches you all”.
For the past 1.6-year life has been on a roller coaster ride with all types of treatments, weird and strong medications, mentally, physically and financially ruptured.<br>
The pains, sleepless nights, medicinal side effects, poking the body for all types of tests every now and then and what not. Not to forget all this with having a then 5.5-year-old little kid along.
Me and my son never stayed away from each other right from the day he was born, apart the school hours. Our sweet little duo of 2 scattered when doctors had me admitted now and then. He never use to say anything but his tiny little sweet face use to narrate many things. I realized all of a sudden, my 5.5-year-old son was behaving like a grown up. He started taking extra care of me, monitoring all my medications and that I am having it on time.
My illness not only put me on house arrest but even my little son. His schedule changed. He had just school to go, no play, no outdoors nothing. He used to spend more and more time with me having a fear in his mind that god knows when my mom will have to be admitted again. Seeing him in fear was the last thing I would ever dream of and it kept boasting my willpower. My 2 boys (hubby and son) are my strong backbones which are helping me recover from the illness.<br>
Being house arrest is really the sickest

My story does not end here Though I was married in good family and bless ed with nice and loving husband how ever I had to face fertility issues I had been undergoing various fertility treatment for last 11 years .I have been married for last 13 years and undergone 6 IUIs and 5 IVfs at various IVF hospi<br>
tals. Even doctor has denied in my last IVF cycle in July 2018 however we had not lost hope. Due to blessings of God I was able to conceive naturally in Last Oct Even my doctor was not willing to believe It is the determination to succeed and faith in God that kept us going . Till today no-one is willing to believe that I have conceived naturally and that to at this age of 43 yrs Thanks to my husband and all those people who kept my morale up and have faith and determination to succeed Nothing in this world is impossible for any women if they have determination and willingness to succeed. I wish all those women who have been struggling on any front best of the endeavour s and be winner s Women is epitome of strength Would advise all women to never lose hope in any situation It is that phase that will pass if they remain patient and optimistic
