Before the Challenge started,I  had  thought of a word for each alphabet. I also wrote twenty six posts,representing each  letter.


It was the forth day of the Challenge that I faced a real Cha;;enge. It was early morning of 4th April that a  a  scary demon, in the the form of ''Heart  Attack'' pounced upon me. As this sort of  excruciating pain, I had never experienced before, but  even for a breath of a second,the idea did ot strike that it a heart attack.I suffered the pain  without  making any sound.It was at 5a.m. that I stared swetting profusely ,then I called my husband.He called my DIL from her room  She came and seeing my condition phoned my daughter,who is a doctor. She reached our house in no time and called an ambulance.Both male members, my son and son in law were out of station. They were allerted. Both of them reached the same  day  by the first available flight.The  doctors did a marvellous job. Within 40 minutes they managed to put a stent into my heart, and sent me to the CCU.I  became conscious wihtin  1/2 an hour  The first thing thzt I  remembered was my blog. I  asked my DIL whether my blog was posted,but she was unaware. Then I called Shilpa, who had helped me earlier in difficult situations.I had already written all the twenty six post on 'Word Document ''. Shilpa posted the post on the scheduled date.. She  is a true and sincere friend..
                                                                I was discharged from the hospital, on 8th April. The Doctor  advised me not to  do any streuous work. The posts were all ready. they only  required to be copy/pasted. I completed the Challenge sucessfully. I am guilty of not reading many blogs. I commented on most of the blogs that I read. I  will now make efforts to read as many posts as possible.. I am grateful to mant friends/wett wishers, who read my posts and gave their comments. My special thanks  to Shilpa, Rachna Parmar, Elly, Suzy, Leo, Parul, Susan, Vishal, Vinodini Iyer., Rudrapragya,. I might have forgotten some names. My thanks to them .
                                                        It was a real Challenge, but I could overcome it smoothly.
