2. When Alok and I met in 1984, he was attracted by my passionate love of children, dogs, and poetry．I was drawn to his intelligence and his broad, comforting shoulders． Our marriage was very happy, and our

sons, Viraj, an accountant, and Anurag, a lawyer, were warm, loving, and blessed with both a high level of integrity （正直） and a naughty sense of humour． It was as if I had everything I had wished for． When people said, "Life is not perfect, " I used to think, "Oh, but it very nearly is．"

But one Saturday night everything became different． Alok and I were about to leave our flat in Delhi for a party when all of a sudden he just passed away． It was a cerebral stroke （脑中风）, instantaneous （猝发的） and without warning．

I was terrified, but felt I owed it to myself, to Alok, and to the boys to rise above the loss and use the strength our love had given me to go forward． I also had to deal with some pressing issues． Where would I live? Our home was a company﹣owned flat, and most of the services and equipment we'd enjoyed, like the club, medical coverage, even the phone, came with his job．

I made the decision to try and do as much as I could on my own, without asking for, or expecting, other people to help me． As a journalist, I had been privileged to share some truly exceptional life stories． I now had to handle my own life story, and accept change with as much courage as I could ________．

The journey ahead needed new skills． I finally found the right job, and today I am working in corporate communications． My life now is very different from what it was earlier． I understand that we are all given an inner strength, and that we truly grow up, regardless of age, when we learn to stand alone． I hope to start writing again． I would also like to give back to society, to work on a cause that I care deeply about, which is the focus of my book: to help others achieve better work﹣life choices so that a new generation of young people, and indeed a new generation of old people, can receive the support they need．
