Today morning, our team received a mail from our onsite (US) manager, of a different kind and set an entirely different mood amongst all of us. It said, she is off this afternoon since she had to undergo scanning at the hospital to find out if she is having a repeated attack from a cancerous growth in her body now, 2 years after the first attack. The mail, sounding a bit gloomy and moving, but very imaginable when it comes from most people, was least expected to come from her, who was otherwise perceived by most of us as the owner of a very strong determination and will power. But, thinking about it again, I realized that it was quite natural that anybody would feel depressed when they hear such news about themselves. I can't even imagine, how I would face it, if such a thing happened with me, ever... So, I decided to write a mail on behalf of the entire team to her, expressing all of our best wishes hoping for her speedy recovery and the best of health. Below here it is, reproduced exactly the same way I sent to her.
Hi,
It is easier to say than actually live it, nevertheless I will tell you what I always believed in and is my philosophy of life – “Everything happens for good”…It doesn’t look exactly relevant in this (even to me, now), but it will prove ultimately to be, in some way. I’ve experienced that in my life, several times.
Over the years, I’ve come to know a little about you. I believe you can and will get over this *trauma* thing soon. Hope for the best, but anticipate the worst and then anything that happens with you will look like a blessing…
I hope I’ve conveyed through this mail what I wanted to, and you took it in the right spirit. But know that all of us here love and respect you a lot and will stand by you always…
Regards…
Anand Iyer
