I am Radha
"Tell me your story," said Parth.
And Nishta began her tale. Where and how shall I begin
this story? This tale of disaster and renewal. Of agony
and ecstasy. Perhaps I should begin by telling you that
I, Nishta, am ordinary. But I am what I am, a woman of
passion and deep driving desires. And so, my thoughts
and feelings have always acquired extraordinary
dimensions … I have been like the rough sea, but with
its vastness and depth. I must tell you, Parth, that I
was, I am and I will be. I am immortal.
Confronted with an illness as serious as cancer,
Nishta's journey into the centre of her being reveals to
her the healing power of sacred love. A heartening New
Age story of mind, body and spirit. |
