BIRTHING

a cocoon of wellness

By Heera Alaya

World Children’s Day, November 20th, 2024

My dearest Dr D Vasanthi,

In a world where textbook-qualified physicians/surgeons/therapists are as ignorant, cowardly and vacuous as they are apathetic, arrogant and avaricious, you stand out as a beacon of excellence, integrity and elegance. As a high-calibre individual, your unique qualities shine brightly, reminding us that darkness is necessary to appreciate the light.

From you, a surgeon par excellence who brings life into the world, I learned about the true meaning of birthing. You singularly birth—

Conscience

Dignity

Brilliance

Confidence

Ownership

Compassion

Clarity

Endurance

Contentment

Depth

Abundance

Authority

Independence 

Open-mindedness

Enterprise

Generosity

Self-reliance

Dependability

Learning

Strength

In bringing each quality to life, the higher spirit ensures I celebrate you and learn from your being. 

Your life’s journey has enhanced your intrinsic depth, which speaks to your capacity to listen non-judgmentally and feel others’ pain and sorrow. You offer the best—kindness, encouragement and wisdom—with boundaries intact. I wish I could say that therapists and psychologists (the ones I have encountered) must take a leaf out of your book; alas, their parched spiritual and intellectual existence, fused with their hostility and hypocrisy, makes them unfit to be an alphabet in your book. There is a marked difference between those who work to sustain an existence and individuals whose principles and values aid their profession. In my life experience, only you, Dr. Vasanthi, fall into the latter blessed category. Moreover, you are the only human I know walking god’s path.

I am fortunate to have known you since my early twenties and grateful to be loved by you. With you, the parentified me can be a child; my tears afford dignity; my joys are celebrated; my scars heal; my sensitivity is cherished; my fears are sheltered; my poetry is appreciated, and my strength of character is valued. And yes, my demands for strong coffee are accommodated and stealing your pickles is not only pardoned but also encouraged!

On World Children’s Day, in sharing my sentiments, I hope other scapegoats, systematically orphaned, isolated, demonised, punished and ostracised in the presence of and with the wilful participation of cruel enablers, find blessed souls like you to embrace them—to discover their merit and strength to honour life and living.

I am grateful for your grace.

Yours,
H

PLEASE NOTE


The Site(s) Owner has the utmost commitment to integrity, emotional and psychological well-being and security, thereby enforcing a zero-tolerance policy for violators. Failing to adhere will result in serious repercussions.

The Site Owner was a victim of obsessive cyberstalking, prolonged tormenting and distressing mimicking by an Indian Keralite female—married, mother of a son—employed as a science technician at Ajman Academy, UAE—culminating in this incumbent decision.

It is advised you become aware of stalking and its escalating detrimental effects on the perpetrator’s victim. Stalkers lead double lives; they can be in perceived relationships/marriages with offspring, often projecting a withdrawn or socially awkward or/and victim-like persona, all the while causing acute harm to their victim.
