Thalassemia is a Genetic & Preventable disorder. India is the thalassemia CAPITAL of the world. There are 6 crore of thalassemic carriers in the country (1/4th of our population). The lack of awareness and accepatence of the prevelance of disease is the society - is our BIGGEST Hurdle.Today- I am not gonna talk about how? why? Regarding thalassemia. Today, we are going to talk about how warriors have taught me valuable lessons of life. Every warrior - with every transfusion has taught me that whatever is situation we are in There is always a reason to smile. I have seen warriors getting pricked multiple times sometimes and consoling the nurse that "It Happens, sister. See, There is a vein here " They look at positive aspect of everything. Blood shortage - they make appeal for themselves and everyone need. Be any problem, they have a solution with a smile. Warriors NEVER take anything for granted - they simply express gratitude in their own simpler way for every miniscul l thing in the world. The only demand from their side is to be treated with Respect. "How are we Different ? " is the question usually asked. Their gratitude extends from a pretty smile to the blood donor who has given them life for 21 days. I have learned that even if you face the same problem everyday - you should face with firmness and fight it - learned to deal with it in your unique way. Every warrior from the time they start understanding the worldiness-they have explored the diagnosis of thalassemia. Every day from age of 6 months- they have lived - faced - fought Thalassemia. Sometimes - even with physical atrocities and mental fatigue, they unfold their wings of strength and hope. Fighting the same thing every second, minute with every cell of your existence and not letting it empower you - lesson learnt from a warrior.
