Looking back, PV and I met on Saturday and finalised our decision to go on line with this blog within two days. Today, July 14, 2008 marks the official opening of our blog, life is in the little things.
PV's blood cancer was diagnosed in February this year, I think. It had spread 70%. The next few months were dedicated to intensive chemotherapy. This was a time of hopelessness and hope.
This blog is for PV, her cancer mates-the little boy Hariharan and Karishma who sat for her Board Exam and all those who have been touched by the consequences of cancer in one way or another.
PV and I welcome you warmly to our public space and request you to share your ideas in a way you may not have considered perhaps. PV will come and go as she pleases. On one day she may write, on another day she could have a writer's cramp. She will correct me if I say things badly or get my facts mixed up.
So, welcome...

I'm glad PV has the freedom to write or not, as and when. It's important to not be burdened by what starts out as an adventure. The pictures of PV, are really good as pictures.And she looks good without hair freed from those mind numbing tv commercials of electronic hair being swung around by equally electronic women.
PV I hope you get better and continue to keep your hair short or shaven. You look good.
My thoughts will be with PV as she goes thru this ordeal and comes out at the other end, stronger, as she surely will.
Seeing the pictures of PV in a public space, bold and confident, highlight the subject of hair and how intertwined it is with a woman's identity in society...a subject fraught with complexity for all women. What a wonderfully proud statement PV makes by striding out in the world at such a difficult time in her life.
