There Is Only Room for Hope (ePub)

Anouradha Bakshi was born in Prague in 1952. The daughter of a diplomat she spent her childhood in diverse countries before finally making New Delhi her home. She taught French and worked as an interpreter and conference organiser. The last words of her father: ‘Don’t lose faith in India’ made her question the validity of an almost perfect life in an India where too many ‘whys’ needed to be answered. In 1998 she set up Project Why in an effort to find answers to the deafening whys that disturbed her. Today Project Why works with over1000 disadvantaged children and women in an effort to give them the right to dream. In 2005 she was voted Citizen One by the India Today group.
Anouradha always felt that Project Why would be her swansong but two years ago her husband was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and her life was turned on its head. Cancer had taken both her parents and this time she was determined to win her battle with the dreaded C. Putting her life on hold, she becomes her husband’s cancer buddy in every way possible setting the tone for the battle, a battle she fought and won on her own terms, never giving up her right to make choices.
Knowing that to win the battle she would need to know her adversary, she left no stone unturned in her quest to learn about and demystify cancer ultimately choosing her ‘own’ protocol that she shares in There is only Room for Hope. She also urges everyone to seek the silver lining that always outsmarts the adversary.
Anouradha lives in Delhi with her husband. She has two daughters and a grandson.
Anouradha is also the author of Dear Popples.
