You were truly one in a million and your memories will always bring joy to me.
You were truly one in a million and your memories will always bring joy to me.
love you forever .
She was the college queen ; a rare combo of beauty with brains plus a great human being ; he was a thorough gentleman, handsome and from an illustrious family.
They were destined to become friends and like a fairy tale that culminated in a marriage.
By all means made for each other couple.
Two cute boys borne to this lovely couple;a perfect family .
Amen.
But the same destiny laughed weirdly; the lady suffered from leukaemia. There were lots of problems like misdiagnosis and over treatment etc.In spite of both( and many family members) being in the medical field they had to pass through many hurdles.
And alas in Sept 2012 she succumbed to her illness ; leaving all in a state of sheer hollowness and sorrow.
But see how a true gentlemen thinks;even in their trouble their families thought of the common man.
How a common man will face all these hurdles if struck with cancer.
So her family started a Madat trust to help such people.
Cope with Cancer is the main activity of Madat Trust, which was started following demise of one of the trustees, Dr Mandakini Parikh Parihar, who lost her battle to leukemia in September 2012. While getting treated, Dr Mandakini and her family members realised that there was inadequate information about resources and a need for counseling for cancer patients and care givers.
In Dr.Anand Parihar's words;
To alleviate this shortfall, Madat Trust initiated this Free service in July 2013
The activities of the trust are
Ø Counseling
o Online & Telephonic Counseling To Patients & Caregivers
o Information About The Disease And Its Effects
o Nationwide Information About The Resources Needed By Cancer Patients
o Dietary Suggestions & Recipes By Cookery Expert
Ø Financial Support for investigations, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, & ICU support
Ø Downloadable discount forms for investigations & resources on our website
Ø Helpdesk at General OPD Tata Hospital and ACTREC to assist patients
Ø Hair Donation Camps & Cancer Awareness Programs
Ø Free Wigs to Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
Ø Post op care counselling and specialized counselling for children at Tata
The online and tele-counseling service is operated by a team of trained clinical counselors, who speak various Indian languages, attending to cancer patients and caregivers for their social & psychological problems. More than 15000 people per month access & benefit through the websitewww.copewithcancer.org & Internet & Tele Counseling service.
The middle class bears the brunt of cancer treatment in a very big way with a whole lot of families pushed into financial drudgery due to treatment cost. We have arranged fordiscount forms on our website which can be downloaded, printed and presented at listed diagnostic centres to avail of discountedinvestigations like PET, CT scans, & MRI and mammography and discounted products like anti-cancer drugs & nutritional supplements.
We provide financial aid to economically challenged patients for investigations and treatments like PET scan, CT and MRI, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery & ICU support. Since September 2014, on an average,100 patients per month are supported at Tata Hospital, Mumbai.
We disburse about INR 2,50,000 in financial aid for treatment per month at Tata Hospital.
More than 4 Lakh people from all over the country have benefitted from our internet & tele-counseling service.
More than 1700 women, from all parts of India, have donated hair for wig making.
The Trust donates about 40 wigs per month to women patients undergoing chemotherapy.
ALL our services are Free of cost to the users.
Madat Trust aims to identify and fill up gaps in the management of cancer diagnosis and treatment bring about better outcomes specifically for economically challenged patients.
So this is real friendship; we are well versed with the story of Satyavan And Savitri ;from Puranas. Here Satyavan (Anand)has immortalised his loving wife via this trust.All of us know how he was besides Mandakini throughout her illness.
On this friendship day this is a real example of friendship
Jindagi ki sath bhi
Aur jindagi ke baad bhi
And I am lucky to have such friends and to know such noble families .
Lets wish all the best for Madat trust and may help them to accomplish their mission.
People like Mandakini live forever via such awesome deeds and win over merciless death and keep enriching and inspiring our lives....
जाने वाले कभी नहीं आते
जाने वाले की याद आती है
मौत मिटा दे चाहे हस्ती
याद तो अमर है.....@डाॅ.विजय आठल्ये.
Eternally grateful to you for helping us become proud parents of triplets! Our boys are fourteen years old now and you are the one responsible for bringing this joy into our lives. Thank you. RIP. Venu and Raj Kaur.
Wherever you are I know you are spreading joy and going out of your way to help someone in need.
Miss you a lot.
Love
Kshitija
Thanks for giving us " COPE WITH CANCER"
Your memory will cherish in all hearts .
ये घाट, तू ये बाट कहीं भूल न जाना
बचपन के तेरे मीत, तेरे संग के सहारे
ढूंढ़ेंगे तुझे गली गली, सब ये ग़म के मारे
पूछेगी हर निगाह कल तेरा ठिकाना
दे दे के ये आवाज़ कोई हर घड़ी बुलाये
फिर जाये जो उस पार कभी लौटके न आये
है भेद ये कैसा कोई कुछ तो बताना
Tan bhi sundar
Man bhi sundar
Not seen such a person like Mandi
Really miss her, dil se
Jo avadato sarvanna
Tochi avade devala.....
Nagmen Hain Shikve Hain
Kisse Hain Baate Hain
Baatein Bhool Jaati Hain
Yaadein Yaad Aati Hain
Yeh Yaadein Kisi Dil-O-Jaanam Ke
Chale Jaane Ke Baad Aati Hain
Yaadein Yaadein Yaadein
Mandi we remember you forever

It is just today that I came to know about Mam's demise,
I had the opportunity to be work with her in Mangal Anand and also lucky to be her student in Somaiya,
I will always miss her, she was my mentor.
Dr. Mandakini Parihar was the enabler (or should I say God's own hand) for us to beget three bundles of joy in our lives ten years back.
My three sons (triplets) came into our lives as a result of the consultation and treatment provided by Dr. Mandakini Parihar.
We found out about this tragic and most untimely demise a few weeks back when we recommended her name to someone who similarly needed help in conceiving and were informed by this lady that the Doctor whom we spoke about is no more!!
It came as a complete shocker and we were left aghast....we offer our heartfelt prayers to the Almighty to give peace to her soul and continue giving strength to her family to bear with this irreparable loss.
Venu and Raj.
May her soul rest in peace!!
