I land in Mumbai on February 15th.
The immigration officer looks at my passport, glances up at me, looks down again then fixes me with a stare
‘Madam….’
A pause. Is my Visa legible? I really need to get my PIO card sorted.
‘Why you no have hair?’
And while it’s tempting to lean forward and whisper, ‘Shampoo- very expensive’ I’m travel weary and mindful of my special cargo. World’s best and possibly freshest stem cells. My yellow babies are crying out for a nap.
‘Because I just had a stem cell transplant’
One can never look sincere enough for an official.
‘For the Cancer’ I offer helpfully.
Officer Shirodkar nods knowingly.
‘Yes, yes. Medical tourist.’
And with that, I have no choice but to surrender to this place.
India is my most complex lover. And I’ve had complicated relationships. Believe me.
With this infuriatingly endearing exchange behind me, I touch the soil of the most infuriatingly endearing land I have ever known.
Who am I showing up as?
A courtesan, a wounded child, a seeker, a poser, a believer?
A celebrity?
Or just a medical tourist.
buh.
‘Alighting Point’ it says in the Chennai airport. And its a good place to begin. I cannot comprehend the whole. Not yet. But the narrative needs a place to begin.
And India moves quicker than my eye.
I’ve packed wigs for my Rado store appearances in Bangalore and Chennai. Not to pretend. Not for approval’s sake. But because it occurs to me that my scalp may be shiny. Don’t want to blind any photographers during our store promotions.
Ok maybe I am a little apprehensive. It’s my first public appearance.
So I trot out my ‘First Lady’ hair helmets for Aarti and Ujjala’s approval. Will it be the flirty bob or the heavy, long mane? I’m just going for less Nancy Reagan and more Michelle Obama.
At some point the ‘Nancy Reagan’ lands up on Aarti’s head.
‘When one is fat, there are certain things you should not do in public…you should not eat chicken legs- or wear a short hairpiece’
Aarti’s delivery rivals Ricky Gervais. Or any other comic of the moment.
And she’s beautiful. Even without working to be less weighty.
Which brings me back to my own pilgrimmage. I’ve got the shrinks. I’ve shed my steroid induced wetsuit, my immunity is no longer making jokes at my expense. I’ve shrugged off my fat brush moonface like a heavy winter coat.
But I am not what I was before.
Now I can discern the difference between an image that communicates and one that manipulates.
Mostly I see India moving towards the second of the options.
So I feel expansive in new ways. I will not beat my flesh back into size zero submission. It has to be enough just to radiate health. Which in my case, is as hard won and precarious as any Bollywood starlet’s latest role.
At the store opening, I will be interviewed by Barkha Dutt. The ‘First Lady’ of Indian television journalism. I find myself tugging self-consciously at my First Lady hair. One of the PR girls expresses concern over the impending interview.
‘She makes people cry. She makes them reveal things they never have before’
Another yellow warrior.
Bring it on.
Tug, tug.
Afterwards, someone brings me the India Today. On the cover is an image from my blog. I’m thrilled- and puzzled. This is a surprise. I’ve always wanted to be featured on this cover but somehow the Indian version of Time neglected to let me know. Kinda like your friends organising your Birthday party, in your neighbour’s house. You hear the commotion next door and wonder why you weren’t invited- and isn’t it weird no one’s shown up to wish you on your big day?
Infuriatingly endearing.
And thanks.
Because mostly it strikes me:
This is an image that doesn’t manipulate. At least I hope not.
Thank you India Today for urging people to see and feel.
Illness is alchemy.
Ok – keep it coming mama – medical tourist …..hmmmm
it’s become a ritual to visit your blog for thoughts and inspiration. just wanted to let you know that you’re changing my life in such a way that i aspire to be a better person. definitely will keep rooting for you. thank you, Lisa. best wishes, yours. seung-a.

India is very beautiful …. I read about India: history and it’s culture but most importantly about religious cults of India … India seems a country full of mystery and beauty only its rustic scenery!love ya,dear !!!
Amanda,
I am wondering what she meant by “Illness is alchemy.”
Probably she means her experience has gained her wisdom or new perspective in life or she’s turning into a new leaf now? LOL. I’m not sure, but it’s nice.
=) Take care!
You are beautiful! (just so simple):)
My dear Lisa,
Thanks for coming back to us with your sensitive soul and special sense of humour. I am hungry for your words, you give so much to us about openness and bravery.
I send you more and more yellow strength and love.

Hi Sienna
You didn’t get the memo – she is now Lisa Ray, Child Philospher. “illness is alchemy’ makes perfect sense for true. I can’t say it effectively in words but if you have watched the movie “Forrest Gump’ at the point when he finds out he finds out he can run and then the braces drop off – and he doesn’t stop running. That’s the image it brings to my mind. Illness was her life changing experience and as you said, beating it now gives her a new perspective – Run, Lisa, Run.
Anyway its Women’s Month – let’s dedicate it to Lisa Ray –
“Women – Celebrating Achievements – Breaking Barriers -Overcoming Challenges”
Hi Lyna in Singapore! I really want to see the World Unseen! Liked I Can’t Think Straight, but Water . . . that is just the most beautifully filmed, meaningful movie I’ve ever seen!!!! The water is beautiful — rain, lake, etc. The acting is amazing, specifically the little girl who played Chuiya, Lisa!!!!, and the one who played the widow who carries Chuiya to go with the train with Gandhi at the end!!! And the message is so important!!! Religion can give people strength, but is too often used to carry out man-made agendas. The power it has is unbelievable! Thanks for saying, hi! You take care, too!

Dear Lisa,
For some exotic and intriguing reasons, at this point of reading the blog, whether it’s the title of the article, or the ending phrase ‘ Illness is Alchemy’, dear Lisa, you remind me of the young shepherd, Santiago who’s on a journey to fulfill his Personal Legend and find his Treasure in Egypt, in Paul Coelho’s book ‘The Alchemist’. One of the phrases I adore most, is “”simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciate them”,
Ahh, bold is beautiful, hurray to the wiggery~ 😉
Blessings,
u.
Lisa,
For what it’s worth, I think your image on the cover is one of the most beautiful I have seen of you. Perhaps because it’s so honest. I once read an interview with photographer Annie Leibovitz in which she said something like, “You can’t take someone’s picture; they have to give it to you.” It reminds me of this photo of you, because it’s raw… it does not pretend. Beautiful. Real.
Like what you said to the security officer at the airport. Yellow soldiers… you are a true Spiritual Warrior.
Light and joy from Chicago.

Dear Lisa,
Goodie for you that you are traveling to far away places. Eating chicken legs in public requires a special
license, I’m told, you have to apply for it at the holy glad I’m not a poor chicken at the chicken shit farm. Lots of things worse than a shiny dome head. Not having an actual head would be worse I reckon. Your stem cells are probably very happy taking up residence in your body. Are stem cells male or female? Hmmm, maybe they are some sort of 3rd sex or something…
I enjoy reading your posts just cause I do….
India, big country, spread out, lots of humanity….Enjoy!
Jo
Still Earth Bound and that’s a good thing……
Joy in the morning. Lisa, you take my breath away. No worries, I won’t need it for another fifteen seconds… May I make the point that manipulation has other connotations? It’s fashioning, it’s art, etc. Beauty? Another joy delivery system. What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life, the poet Kathleen Raine asks us?
The world would split open.
You are our atomic heroine, Lisa.
Blessings, Susan
Dear Lisa,
Its so nice to see u back blogging after so many days! We all yellow fans really missed u a lot. I came to know some days ago that u r presently in India…touring. And i just wondered if i could meet u…if u visited Kolkata then i would have surely made it a point to meet u…I myself live in Kolkata… U r a Bengali n me too…So please do visit Kolkata… Anyways at first u should take care of urself. Njoy ur vacation to the fullest. Just rejuvenate urself…forget everything and live for the moment! Remember 1 thing….we, the yellow diarists are always there for u….We luv u….we missed u… n We will continue loving u… Please one request…. do keep blogging….This keeps us connected with u…. Hugs…Good Wishes…
P.S. I Love You.
At the end of the reading I’m just this… all *grin*
The inner joy & peace moves me in a discrete & subtle way.
God Bless You Lisa!

Hum, she’s the best one to answer that but I read “illness is alchemy” as: illness changes you, passes you through fire or dissolves you only to make you gold, to make you real. It shows yourself what’s trully there.
There are some books by Thorwald Dethlefsen and Rudiger Dahlke where they explore how illness can become a way for true healing I think is worth sharing this one I found the name in English: “The healing power of illness”
We are many people fighting for the same. You are not alone. On with their heads held high.
You’re still a very beautiful woman. Your eyes radiated kindness
We will struggle together.
All my love. Maite (Spain)
You are all of those…a courtesan, a wounded child, a seeker, a poser, a believer!
Sorry Lisa you missed your Bday party but at least you look really good on the Bday invitation… 🙂
Enjoy your time there and write more.

‘Shampoo- very expensive’ – that’s Lisa’s style! Way to go, girl!
beautiful….
Dear Lisa,
My pulse was moving so fast the VERY MINUTE that you posted this new blog… and I was just recovering from your flood of tweets which made me insanely happy!!
Seriously, I literally stopped to slow down my heartbeat…and composed myself.
You and your writing have that effect on me…
… and your stories always make me ponder about things…
On the subject of image, I have to confess that there is a part of me that vainly loves aesthetically beautiful things even with regards to People… but that somehow changed in the few months that I have known you through your blog.
To be very honest, the very first time that I’ve seen you in the ‘wetsuit’, I was like bewildered of how could such transformation happen to a very stunningly gorgeous person?
But as I got to know you more, Your true Inner Soul made me look deeper beyond the fleeting beauty of the flesh…
Your endearing Spirit that sheds true humanity and grace is what I see regardless of what you look.
And that new way of seeing things deep down to its very core is something that I now carry in my perspective of things… well, I try to.
In every way, you are an ‘Image’ that communicates and that touches marrows around the world.
I am genuinely happy to know that you are prioritizing your Health and will not fall in that trap of size-zero vanity. Please do keep that conviction no matter what!
For me, YOU ARE THE ALCHEMY not the illness…
For you are the one who transmuted the illness and you turned it into something “gold”… not just for you but for everyone whom you have touched in Life.
You are the one who transcended things and the illness was just made a vessel to show that YOU ARE “The Great Work”.
Let India intoxicate you more with its maddening wonder and mystic… as you do to us with your Breathtaking Soul!!
Wishing you more enlightenment in your pilgrimmage,
— Nerissa
PS:
I just have to share this to you again because this is how I feel EVERYTIME I see your “India Today” photo…
You always unnerve me in that cover… in a good way of course 🙂 😉
http://behindmyscenes-np.blogspot.com/2010/02/lisa-ray-in-india-today.html
Lisa in wonderland
have fun 🙂
Lisa,
I agree. India Today should have asked you for your permission or at the very least let you know before using your picture on their cover page. It’s sad how the media works sometimes.
I hope they didn’t bother you too much with immigration and the new H1N1 screening (I was visiting India only days before you arrived in mumbai and was particularly bothered by the H1N1 screening). Hope you have a pleasant and happy trip back in India. Also hope you feel better in the coming days.
Take care,
ani
For something new to start something old has to end. You know what I’m trying to say, right Lisa?
Go Lisa Go! Super Yellow!
Psyche
Quando vi Lisa Ray e li o que escreve em seu blog, aprendi o verdadeiro significado da palavra beleza.
hi lisa,
U look worried in the pic but still confident. It shows you are same inside out.
You don’t have to be on the cover to be known. India knows u for long but may be u are still stranger to ur self.
Habibti!!!
Good day for you!!! 🙂
I hope you are well, enjoying your time in India.
“I’ll try to make more mistakes- I won’t try to be so perfect”. Hmmm….. yes, why not? 😉
Perfection is not happiness…
Thanks for posting again!! 🙂
Sweet hugs,
Ximena. 😉 🙂
I find myself struck and facinated by the notion of your going back to a place that helped define you for a good deal of your life, as sort of a “new being”. Can’t imagine it on this level. Not connecting to that “old you”.. Back to Proust… don’t need to seek the new landscape, just see it with new eyes. This seems to be your present journey; one of self discovery. Big job, the finding out. Yours came without control as it often does for most of us.. Not all due to illness obviously, but none the less, out of our perceived control. Lisa, we are all “not who we were”…and thank God for that! At 37 I defined myself as only what I was doing at the time..which was pretty cool for sure, mini celebrity, touring golfer from a small town.. but when one part of it came to an end, as it always does, a broader definition was born. Never again to just be the Touring Pro, or the actor, or model, or whatever…. my definition keeps getting broader as I know yours is as well. Scary for sure…Like the first time on the Comet at Crystal Beach, but such a great feeling. Welcome to this next gig….enjoy the ride….Nameste.
I think magazine good money has earned. For magazine release.
Я думаю, журнал хорошие деньги заработал. За выпуск журнала.
Hi Ximena”sss. You and so are imperfect, and at you it is a lot of errors.
Привет Хименессс. Вы и так несовершенны, и у вас много ошибок.
Hi, Lisa my grave girl.
You are always beautiful.
That’s very cool. I love it and I love you too.
Take care and Fighting!
Will you update your blog on tomorrow?
I will visit you everyday. ^_^
BTW,
I like your answer ‘Shampoo- very expensive’.
Take care and Fighting!
Take care and Fighting!
Take care and Fighting!
Love you…..
Dearest Lisa, thank you for being courageous even in the face of death.
Lisa,
Your behavior inspires me so much that I haven´t the right words to tell you what I think about you (even I´m a writer and I really should know a lot of words) I won´t post here the 500 adjetives that maybe, just maybe, are enought for describe you curious and deep essence, cause I´m very bad for praising people. Actually, I feel so many things for you, that I preffer keeping silence… or, summarize it in just one sentence:
You must be pride of be you, cause I´m proud of you and I don´t know you.
With love,
Drew
Good Morning Lisa,
We are here for you “Through thick and thin”. Is always a pleasure to read your blog.
Today would have been my Mom’s 67th birthday, unfortunately she lost her battle with cancer 4 years ago (2/1/06). I miss her so much, but she is in a better place and in my heart forever. I admit, I was a Mama’s girl and I am proud of it! 😉
Anyway, I wish you a great journey. May you find your inner strength and peace that you searching for, definitely deserve. Just don’t forget us; we need to know you are okay.
I’ve been collecting your movies and watching them with my friend Wan. We share the love for you, for now. I’ve told her that all is fair in love and war, but I’ll fight her for you in a heart beat. LOL Anyway, I can’t wait to see you in “Cooking with Stella” coming out at the end of this month. Hopefully one day in person, I will go anywhere.
Love you,
Xena (Your Ecuadorian fan in Eagle Rock, Ca. USA)
hi lisa,
I’ve read from you tube about your condition and it breaks my heart, your too young and has a lot to offer, your beauty is somewhat extraordinary ( i love those eyes ).
I don’t know what religion you have but in the Bible there was a story about a king named Hezekiah he was struck by an illnes and God told him to make an arrangement to turn over the kingdom instead he pleaded for his life and God loved him so he added some more years to his life. I don’t know if this has significance on you but no matter what your going through put your faith in him He will give you rest.
i’ll be praying for you, im in israel right now and in a weeks time i’ll be going to the wailling wall in jerusalem to sent my personal request to God. Starting this day you will be in my prayers as well as those in the same condition as yours…. Keep the faith we’ll always be here to support you…
just a fan
anywhere the wind blows
dear lis,
“…expensive shampoo” and “Don’t want to blind any photographers…” were at your hilarious best. 😀
thank you
I was beginning to worry when i did not hear from you. you are my heroine for more reasons than one. I have kidney failure but i’m not yet on the machine. At first I was devasted because i’m young, we are the same age, and I have a daughter. However as time progressed I just had to face reality and stop fretting.
i admire your style and grace but most of all your sincerity. i know i will not be able to meet you because i’m all the way over here in Jamaica . hope i’ll see you in a movie soon.
love you girl
To Lisa Ray,
I think about this:
“The God,
give power to Lisa Ray change that she can to change,
give her patience to tolerate that she can not change, and
give her wisdom to distinguish first from the second.”
(possible this is not correct translation, but I hope this all known prayer)
Lis, You are the best (inside/outside) in any event, always!
You have a splendid feeling of the humour- it`s cool !!!
With great respect and love,
as before
your MAD FAN…)))
You look like always in this picture sooooooooooooo beautiful!!!!!
❤ Lisa
your openess and ability to share your experience with the world during this challenging time for you is refreshing. The world needs more people like you in it.
Dear Lisa,
never stop fighting..never stop smiling..never stop dream for the future.
Think positive..you have an incredible power.
It’s your HEARTH.
Keep it safe from bad sights, toughts and minds.
YOU MAKE PEOPLE STOP and THINK ABOUT LIFE.
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION FOR MANY, MANY, MANY ONES.
One of them it’s me 🙂
I am an artist and since I have read your blog for the very first time, 2 weeks ago, I have done some paintings for you..it was my way to send my positive energy for you.. I will post some pics of them, but I don’t know if this is the right place to post them..is it?
Tonight, I would like to let you see this short movie.
It makes me feel peace and calm.
Ciao Lisa 🙂
One kiss from Italy,
Stella
Lisa, I think you look more beautiful then you have ever looked. I know this is a tough battle but you are winning. When you just read a story of anyone who is fighting this battle it gives everyone hope. You are showing everyone in the world that you can fight and still look beautiful doing so. You have giving people a lot of hope and I thank you for that. My mother died of breast cancer but she didn’t go down with out a fight. She is my hero and she looked more beautiful then I ever seen her. I am from Richmond Virginia a long way from where you live but cancer is fight that is being fought all over the world. My best wishes to you Lisa.
As a ICU nurse, I have treated many patients that have struggled with your illness. I have held their hands through their darkest most sickest hour. We have cried together and laughed together. I send to you and others compassion and hope for healing.You are in my thoughts and hope this time will bring you good health and peace.
Venezuela, 11/03/10 8:00 pm. Hi Lisa. India is so lucky to have you as a tourist… When are we going to have that luck??? 😦 . By the way, oh my god I just love the way you writte, it so damn hard to understand but it is kind of a homework to me, that I have to translate everything… Awesome…. I want to end tonight saying something about your picture: SIMPLEMENTE HERMOSA COMO UN ANGEL O UNA DIOSA… Hugs, I will writte to you tomorrow…sleep well.
Go to Ganeshpuri, Maharashtra, there you will find many answers if you have questions, Merge in these waters ….go
Dear Lisa:
I pass a lot of time observing the sky and while my eyes stroll around between stars and planets, while I contemplate the grandeur that surrounds us, I am feeling increasingly negligible, a grain of sand is so important as a life. We have forgotten so many things, the youth of the history, when the human being was understanding that we are a part of everything, that you cannot understand the birth of a flower without understanding the death of a star. Everything what surrounds us and we live it provokes in us a reaction, a good or bad feeling that we project to ours around, we are like a stone thrown to a lake, the stone will not be conscious that in his fall to provoked a few waves that in the surface of the water will move dragging everything what floats.
I say this to you because I have been reading and pondering on what the people write to you, have you realized the whole love that you have generated, of all the affections and fondness that you have provoked in the hearts? The persons who write to you are capable of sitting down before the computer and of mitigating his sorrow, of forgetting his weariness, his to be going and to come diary to there offer you his prayers, his words of support, his sweet advices and they do it only for affection. You have made us a participant of your life and we have involved ourselves in her; we all are with you, pushing to your soul to your heart and to your mind in order that you continue your crusade for the life.
Dear Lisa, not always the disease or the adversity is an alchemy, it is necessary to be an alchemist to transform something into gold and me the minor doubt does not fit that you are one great alchemist.
Now, in the loneliness of the night, in this mountain, I will return to look at the universe and my soul will fly between stars and planets, in this silence I will throw a prayer for you, the sound of my voice will join the sound of the spheres and I am sure that will come up to your heart.
I take you in the heart, in the word and in the thought.
Up to more seeing.
complicated relationships — that goes without saying, cuz you are complicated babe (don’t mean no offense). You set a very high bar for yourself (don’t HOMIE), its an overkill.
Get well soon BobCats knee, let him walk around marking territory. I love you beautiful! you take good care
whatever…….. you’ll always be beautiful… take good care and God bless…
It is now 9:38pm in Belize C.A. Tonight I pray for Lisa Ray’s continued healing and blogs and an extra for Bobcat’s kneel.
Lisa dear,
“don’t ever give up a fight, coz nobody can promise you tomorrow… not even your self… so Start living your life to the fullest” 🙂
The most beautiful thing about u is, u r a fighter… and human. Despite of the beauty that is given to u, deep inside u, u r more beautiful than anyone can imagine. I admired the strength within u that I’ve embrace.
Thank u dear.. for having such an effect on me and everybody else’s life. U give me hope again.
@Le- Thanks for sharing that book, I will read it! =)
Dear Lisa,
I missed your blogs but your health is more important so I’d rather not have a blog than not have a Lisa. You are our Princess, so please be kind to Lisa Ray.
Many of us here in this blog come from different backgrounds. Some of us might not even see eye to eye when it comes to beliefs and traditions. You are the one thing that sets a common ground for us. A bind that holds the hay.
We love you (me and my cat) and wish you a speedy recovery.
Love,
Kareen and Putty Cat

Dream
with a morning
a new world
must come
Have faith
is likely
if you are
decided
Dream
there are no borders
and love without barriers
do not look back
Live
with emotion
to feel again, to live
peace
Sowing
your way
a new destination
and the sun will shine
Where
souls unite in light
goodness and love
reborn
And the day we find
that dream will change
nobody will destroy
the truth of your soul
Have faith
is likely
if you are
decided
Dream
with a different world
where every day
the sun will shine
Where
souls unite in light
goodness and love
reborn
Dream, dream you …
Dream.

Hello Amanda,
I watched the Forrest Gump, but I was 17 when I watched it! =) Anyway, I will watch it again.
Thanks a lot for your insight. Now it’s more clear to me. It’s nice to hear from people like you.
Take care always! =)
Read what Amanda wrote.

I’ve read all of your blog entries and i cant even describe how much you and your writing inspires me. the fact that you could be reading this gives me goosebumps haha:) i love the way you express your thoughts… i could never be as creative… so it’s much needed inspiration. i wish i could think like you, and react to such things as well.
you’ve given me a new way of thinking and i cherish it oh so dearly.
thank you Lisa, for the ideas you’ve inspired into my young heart:) i love you, and pray you well:)

THE IMAGE ON INDIA TODAY IS TRULY YOURS – BEAUTIFUL BOTH IN BODY AND MIND. TRUE, THIS IS EXASPERATING YET GOOD OLD ‘LOVE IT OR HATE IT BUT CANT IGNORE IT IN YOUR FACE INDIA’.
HELLO MY EMERALD-EYED !!!
For now you are writing and I am reading ….
I think you learn this”you have to listen just your heart not your logic..”
The logic is relatively it varies from person to person like the beauty dear Lisa Ray. You try to make people happy with the logic. and satisfaction is the relative again….You can not please anybody and nobody not a crown on your head. And you learn this .you must live just yourself isnt it?
If you listen your heart you can be happy.possitive or negative All responsibility belongs to you because of this you will be happy always.Nothing will remain in you.
Everything lies in the world ,Except one thing….I dont tell that one. People understand when they come in peril. I know that because I lived that feeling…
Good luck ın your life my imagine friend.good luck…As long as my life yet, I will follow your news from far Lisa Ray.
For you, for all newborn babies and for be born …. I wish good luck and a healthy life..
I hope Everything will become what your heart want….

Morning sunshine:)
My dear Lisa, not all officers of the migration have a too high IQ. You know, a Roman philosopher said that “The university degree does not cancel the native stupidity and ignorance accumulated in time”…so,that officer is this kind of person.poor fellow:))
anyway .. brilliant the idea with shampoo was brilliant:)) too expensive:))I laughed with tears,onestly:))
I Note with pleasure that sense of humor is still active and shares best .. that’s good…;)
Follow your heart, listen to your instincts, enjoy all this world offer you-beautiful or ugly-all are alchemy…and I agree with you saying: “Illness is alchemy”. You found the answer about life somehow ;)I like your way of thinking:):*
Take care of you and always think positive:):*:X

Dear Lisa,
I wish I’d postponed my Saudi trip by just 2 weeks..would have had a chance to have met u in Chennai, my hometown..
U were sounding very urself in the interview to Barkha.. U barely let them to ask u too many tangled questions, as ur answers were too honest, open and smart enough for them…
Well, u made ur presence felt..ur words heard..ur beauty adored..ur feelings felt…
As u dont have a”Bollywood” tag (glad that u dont have one), forgive the poor officer, who could have, otherwise, recognised u easily even without ur head on its place (forget the hair)…
BTW, cud u pls share some of ur pictures in Landour..We would love to feel u in ur calm and serene state of mind..
Cheers,
Jam
tú estás bellísima siempre con peluca o sin ella, la belleza no se concentra ahi, se concentra en el fondo y tú lo tienes enorme y sino siempre quedan esos pedazo de ojos donde poner el punto de visión
sigue acunando esas celulitas madre mucho mucho mucho!!
pd: suerte en la entrevista y todos tus actos,besos
我英语很差,不怎么看的懂你的文章,但是我希望你快点好起来,每一天都开开心心的。
Dear Lisa,
Yes, I met with your inner child philosopher through the scent of your words, and she ROCKS!!
peace n luv
u.
Dear Lisa,
Here is one more beautiful video from the animation movie “Dashavatar”.
The theme is Lord’s Ras Lila. Krsna is playing ras with Radha and gopies. When other gopis become envious of Radha Rani’s privilege, Lord says: “He is everybody’s; He is with everybody”.
Love,
Nikhil

The Mellow Diaries, Resurrected!
See that’s the thing LR… India doesn’t only have snake charmers…it also has its share of leopardini charmers 🙂
Welcome to India, the land of:
– healers and stealers
– pain inflicters and pain killers
– Story tellers and ‘sorry’ tellers
You India Today cover, your NDTV interview…all oozed of a victorious grin in the war you raged against MM…something that many others tried but stood defeated!
Its one journey alright that you’ve undertaken, where:
– you travelled places we lived through your writing
– you metamorphed as we matured
– you let the medicines work, we let the magic work
– you wrote, we learnt
– you fell, we rose
– you were treated, we feel healed!
This one Child Philosopher…is a salutation to how you Mellowed the Aftermath!! 🙂

Lisita:
For you and I’m learning English, Excellent!
Por tí ya estoy aprendiendo Ingles, Excelente! jeje.
I will always be with you ( Siempre estaré contigo )
Te quiero.
Dearest Lisa,
I pray that whenever you will see the majestic mountains of Landour, may the immensity of The Universe bring forth much Comfort and continuous Health for you.
As a new life unfolds with the road you are taking, know that even the rustling winds, the clouds that hide & seek in the sky and the magnificent landscape around you are whirling about rest and energy in your solitude.
I Believe that mountains have blood in them too… and it feels the fresh hopes of your Soul.
Revel in their splendor as a lot of spirits around the world also relish your rebirth… I humbly for one just want to say:
Thank you for making my Life several shades more colorful…
The Yellow that you spread swirls from cell to cell to every person that you have touched… and I am enchanted that your essence moves in my marrows.
More wonderful chapters in your journeys,
–Nerissa
PS:
I read that Ruskin Bond books are famous there in Landour, be sure to grab a copy. Love you to bits.
Morning Lisa Rani Ray – If there was a badge for being your ‘captive audience’, I would wear with pride.
“Shampoo-very expensive”..LoL….
NEVER STOP FIGHTING LISA!!!!
Prob it would be best for Lisa to answer that one – wonder if she reads these?
you rock !!
I don’t know if you would be able to read my comment dearest Lisa since there are already a bunch of it but I’d like you to know that your fight is shared by a lot of people and with these blogs you make a difference.
Whatever the results are, you would remain our very beautiful LISA in every aspect. 😀
wishing you well
Good Morning Beautiful…!
Stoping by to say hello and let you know that I am thinking about you.

Hello Lisa,
Happy Happy!!! You are adventuring again and appear to be getting better. Happy Happy Happy!!!
Have you ever heard of “Life Is Good” company and founders John and Bert Jacobs? I just learned of them today, and their entire life story is very illuminating. If you aren’t aware of them and when and if you have the time and desire, please check out their story.
with love and appreciation for your existence,
-kathy
Hi Lisa,
I know that fear what you might have felt when you think that your life is about to end but the hope of life comes as a bright light which brings us back.
I have felt it twice and now I know how much I’m happy to be here in this world LIVING.
Its such a great feeling to be with your friends,parents & all the close ones. And even if they are not related with blood but the emotions. Life is really priceless.
And by going past these experiences I have learned to live this life fully. I have really started loving it. Now I don’t hate anyone and I don’t ever want to. Its too small to hate and really big to love.
I came to know about your blog by the newspapers and I just want to tell you this that you just think positive and do good things and rest leave it to god. And then you will feel the best feeling atleast its one of the best which I have ever felt.
I’m just 20 and these words might seem to be too big for a boy who just got past his teennage.
Will hear more from you.
And just to let you know I must tell that you always have my support.
Get well soon,
Sumit
Querida Lisa:
La perfección es un concepto imposible, ni siquiera podemos imaginar un círculo perfecto, eso hablando de matemáticas, pero si nos fijamos en la naturaleza y miramos algo por el microscopio, veremos que existen deficiencias, rugosidades, asimetrías, defectos al fin y al cabo que hacen que la circunferencia no sea perfecta. Imagínate, que conseguimos ver una circunferencia perfecta, sería un gran descubrimiento, pero terrible, la miraría una vez, dos y ya no tendría nada que ver; sin embargo, no pasa lo mismo con esa circunferencia llena de deficiencias, rugosidades, asimetrías, defectos, ahí, me puedo perder observando cada pliegue, cada color diferente, todo está lleno de vida, de cambios.
Tus ojos son círculos no perfectos, no obstante, si podría asegurar que, para mí, tu mirada es perfecta, por todo cuanto nace de ella, por todo lo que me llega a través de tus ojos; pero claro está, ese puede ser mi concepto de perfección, que no tiene que ser el de los demás, ¿entiendes por qué es un concepto imposible? Puedo entender que espiritualmente quieras mejorar continuamente, pero no busques la perfección porque no serás perfecta para todos. Vivir es dejarse llevar de vez en cuando y obviar por un momento lo que está bien y lo que está mal, sobre todo a los ojos de los demás. Saber mirar es saber amar y una vez que amos, lo que amamos se vuelve perfecto.
Y a ti, querida Lisa, te amamos.
Siempre contigo, besos.
Bonjour Lisa,
Vous a-t-on deja dit que vous etiez encore plus rayonnante avec les cheveux tres courts? 😉
Yalla courage, guerissez vite car c’est ce que nous voulons et vous devez nous faire plaisir …no other choice… gardez le cap, nos prieres sont avec vous.
Gros bisous d’Alger – Algerie

Thank you for your infuriatingly endearing words.
It’s always a pleasure to read.
You’re always in my thoughts, (and not just because my yellow living room makes me think of you 24/7 =P)
*BIG hug* from Anie
Hey Lisa!
I’ve heard about your condition back when I lost my best friend and non-biological sister to Cancer. She was only 21 when she was diagnosed with Colon Cancer – Rare case for someone her age (similar to your case).
On my way to work on the TTC train: I teared up when I read the article of the fact. I instantly wished for your well-being and that you can fight it off.
I’m currently reading though every single one of your blog posts. I’m still on page two(September 12), but I am itching to post a message for you before I reach the more recent ones.
I am a fan of your works – “I Can’t Think Straight” and “Water”. I love your characters and how yor portrayed them so realistically. I am actually in love with Tala from “I Can’t Think Straight” lol.
I will keep this short as you have many other comments to read. I wish one day to meet you person.
I love and respect you very much as an beautiful person and actress.
I will keep reading your updates for as long as you continue to write.
Best Wishes and Prayers,

Hello L. Ray. How was your day? Last night I had an amazing dream….something good is coming. Good night.
Dear Lisa, Saw the India Today cover. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. I saw that beauty and here is what I know: I would have fainted had I not believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Love NEVER fails. Please know it too and be encouraged. Agape, Dolores
Two things I realize when I read Lisa’s posts:
1- I have to improve my english cause I need Google Translate always;
2 – I need to go to India to meet this country so I can see through my eyes and to feel what I heard people talking about this amazing place.
Dear Lisa,
I too honor the divinity that resides in all of us — Om namah Shivaya.
Om Mani Padme Hum for you…
In your journeys, May you be more in-tune with ‘The Source’ of all and May it give you whatever you are searching or longing for….
Or simply, please do let whatever Truth to flow and bathe you in its evanescent hues that continues to rise and fall…
Namaste.
The ‘Mighty Force’ is always with you,
–Nerissa
Thanks for the awesome words! It gives us all a hope to move on no matter what comes our way. You are a very strong woman and I pray to God that you recover soon.
God bless
I once was beautiful, but now I feel not so.
What is true beauty? Does anyone know?
Will I be the guinea or just the pig?
Shall I go natural? No…girlfriend give me that wig!
If I were to become pregnant would I get that glow? Just curious because it’s truly not gonna happen now, oh hell no.
Is my body committing suicide from the inside out?
Or is this that enlightenment shit I’ve heard so much about?
It’s a trial, it’s a test, it’s a challenge they all say.
I say it’s all of the above for baby girl Lisa Ray.
Dear, Lisa,
What I like most of all in your writing is that you make people not only enjoy it (your inimitable humour and disarming frankness) but also think. “And that is supposed to be a good thing, isn’t it?” (TWU)
Your writings are already disjointed into quotations. People try to read between the lines, interpret your sayings the way you’ve probably never thought of. So many men, so many minds. And that’s great!
What attracts me as a philologist is the choice of words. We make this choice every day. No one knows why we prefer some words and reject the others. The matter of style may be, and the style as a reflection of a personality.
Your style is amazing! I admire your “I’ve shrugged off my fat brush moonface like a heavy winter coat”; “as hard won and precarious as any Bollywood starlet’s latest role”; or “infuriatingly endearing” that I can hardly translate into Russian without loss of beauty of the phrase.
Keep it up! Thank you.
Hi Lisa. You are teaching us so much through braving your misery. It is like swallowing the poison and giving away the nectar to the world. May god give you more strength and good health.
dont worry about barkha…..go lisa go!!!!
Dear Lisa,
I am the one who travelled from Delhi to Dehradun recently unaware that the beautiful and elegant lady seated besides him in the aircraft was Lisa Ray.There was something about you that made me want to strike a conversation with you.Thank you for ageeing to do that.
On reaching Welham I told my daughter that Lisa Ray(I came to know about your identity at Dehradun airport ) had offered words of support saying ‘everything will be alright’ when I appeared worried about my daughter contracting viral fever during the Board exams.My daughter smiled and immeditely asked if I had enquired about your heath.The school doctor then said that you maintain a blog,thus here I am.
I have been reading your blog inbetween flights and have come to admire the courageous and humourous manner in which you been dealing with your illness.
I had a brief conversation with you during the flight and after,but I must say you are someone who definitely leaves an impression on those who have met you.I still remember the way you said ‘Don’t worry, everything will be alright’.Coming from someone who has suffered so much,carries a lot of meaning.My daughter is under treatment for ITP and now the doctors say they suspect Lupus.It breaks your heart to see someone you love,suffer. Guess I will draw inspiration from the way you have handled your illness and try to remain positive.
I fervently hope and pray that everything becomes alright for you.Your courage,optimism and cheerfulness are qualities that endear you to a lot of people.
As someone commented in one of your earlier blogs – You are a beautiful person in every sense of the word.
Love and Best Wishes,
Ranjit
Dear Lisa,
I am so happy to see you back blogging!
I want to share something that I just found that inspires me. http://laurelburch.com/About/video02.html
This is Laurel Burch, an amazing artist, creator of some of the happiest paintings I’ve ever seen.
I hope you enjoy it!
Dear Lisa,
I would like to send you a big-big THANK YOU for being who you are. And Thank you for bringing Tala to life, a great character, that really inspires me. It’s just the case when I sort of “know” what I want, but never quite know it, till it hits me in the face, saying “Look! This is me, your want, black-on-white, right here!” You know, I truly admire your guts and spirit. You’re a brave young fellow. Very beautiful, charismatic. Here’s a video I want to share, quite motivational one, powerful speech by Rocky Balboa I think-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEkz1XK75XE&feature=related
I am not sure if you know about the experiments dr. Masaru Emoto conducted on water. Saying simple words like “Thank you” to water, proves reaction and change in water’s structure. Then, around 70% of our body and cells is water. You can see the interview with dr. Emoto- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujQAk9EM3xg&feature=related
Then again, I came to know of the power of Hooponopono(ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness). It consists of four lines: I’m sorry; Please forgive me; Thank you; I love you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac5SGwRPv0o&feature=related ) As simple as that. But, if considered with dr. Emoto’s research, makes a lot of sense. My advice is, take these words, and in your thoughts just tell them(coming from your heart) to yourself( ask yourself for forgiveness, thank yourself, etc.), tell them to your body, to the cancer, to your mom, dad, friends, you’ve got the idea, to everyone you’ve met and feel in any way emotionally related to(could be even a man from the street, being angry and saying something bad to you, for no reason). Say those words in your mind to your pet, to the food, to the planet Earth. I know it seems a lot of work, it’s difficult (not to say impossible)to remember all the people I talk about. Yet, give it a try, really. It cannot do any harm. On the contrary, I know it is worth doing. It’s just my own (existential 😛 ) research on life, it seems that there is a certain path of truth, entangled in many books, sources. There just are things, no matter the source, the author, the time, that coincide. And I try them out, to see for myself if they really work. That is why I suggest the things with water and the words. After all, “what is essential is invisible to the eye”.
Be strong, Lisa! And Congratulations! /that is instead ‘good luck’, fair idea/
P.S. I do not believe in ‘incurable’.
With love from Bulgaria
Dear Ranjit,
I can’t help but drop a few words of support and prayers for your daughter…
I know how it feels to be around someone you love who is going through an illness and how it breaks your heart for there is only so much you can do…
I have been in a similar situation before… and I can attest, things do get better.
This great universe of ours is interwoven with myriads forces that help us through everything.
All the best for you and your daughter,
–Nerissa
Dear Lisa,
After i see your movies, i love you so much!
I look for your pictures and radioes and read your blog all the day, even though my English is poor. Your everything makes me so crazy.I want to see you one day, but i know maybe it’s just a dream, cause you are quite far from me. I tell myself i can’t be like that any more.
but i will love you miss you and support you forever, deeply in my heart!
衷心祝你:
身体健康!万事如意!
永远爱你!

Hello Madame !
I have just watched “I can’t think straight” with a friend of mine. I thought you were beautiful, so I just wanted to tell you… 🙂
“Ever met a child philosopher ?”
That title made me think of one day, I was talking with my little brother Philipp while taking pictures in the garden, and he said “Yes… One day you have to die anyway… Like grandma, grandpa. They’ll die one day… But that’s life ! I will die one day too, you know. Not now, though !”
It was very touching, him philosophying about life and all… He was being very mature I thought, he’s only ten years old.
I admire your courage so much.
I wish you all the best I could wish, from my little french town.
♥
Hi Lisa,
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Vivien Leigh from Gone With The Wind?
VENEZUELA 13/03/2010, 10:25 AM. HI LISA, HAVE A WONDERFUL SATURDAY…HUGS
Hi Lisa,
You are a beautiful person in and out.You are a great inspiration.i wish you all the very very best in life.bless you.
arati
Hi there, Lisa,
Humbly, I offer that like most all else in life, there is a fine line between living liberatedly and being mired in the muck of “life.”
Might I suggest that you just live…just live, Lisa, whether that be without cancer or with cancer, just become fully determined to live in the moment. It is what you have — It is what we all have. Live your life by this fundamental design, and you will always control and find peace in the rest that can’t be controlled. 🙂 I promise. 🙂
Continue to be true to you, to your nature. Know that it is impossible for you to become anything but more beautiful.
Take great good care!
You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
You are beautiful
I wish you all the best and get well soon, I look forward to many more great films with you
Lots of love and I’m thinking of you
Lisa,
Your strength and courage is inspiring. As a young woman living with an incurable illness, reading your blogs gives me hope and inspiration to continue to live my life to the fullest, enjoying every moment.
I have learned to never stop fighting the battle and I’m happy to see that you are doing the same.
Wishing you all best.
Dear Lisa,
You were beautiful and will always be………….my husband is also one of your fans !!!!While I myself am battling with cancer I have come to the conclusion that only the brave r chosen to get this disease n the ONE who gives it to u also gives u the strength to endure it !!!!
We shall overcome !!!!!
love.
Dear Lisa Good look.
I wish God care you.
See you.
Susana A.M. from Mexico.
Love your post
Hi Lisa,
I’ve only found out tonight about your disease… Never stop fighting! My wishes are with you. Even if I don’t know you personally we are almost the same age and I’ve always liked you. All the best from France,
Anne

when going goes tougher it is the hope that drives us towards our goal and will make us great but lisa your always my fav actress and will always remain and keep going and just pray god for your sake
[…] Ever met a child philosopher? « Lisa Ray someone brings me the India Today. On the cover is an image from my blog. I’m thrilled- and puzzled. This is a surprise. I’ve always wanted to be featured on this cover but somehow the Indian version of Time neglected to let me know. Kinda like your friends organising your Birthday party, in your neighbour’s house. You hear the commotion next door and wonder why you weren’t invited- and isn’t it weird no one’s shown up to wish you on your big day? Infuriatingly endearing. And thanks. Because mostly it strikes me: This is an image that doesn’t manipulate. At least I hope not. Thank you India Today for urging people to see and feel. Illness is alchemy.

Dear, Lisa!
Я из России. Неделю назад посмотрела 3 фильма с Вашим участием. Мне очень понравилось! Вы – талант (talanted!). И у Вас – прекрасное чувство юмора.
Стала искать информацию о Вас и узнала, что Вы болели.
Но потом прочитала, что выздоровели и видела интервью с Вами.
Вы – молодец, герой! Умница! Вы сильны духом.
Я желаю Вам ЗДОРОВЬЯ! мы ведь ровесницы.
Еще раз желаю Здоровья Вам и Вашим родным и близким.
Елена.
Życzę zdrowia, szczęścia i miłości
Lisa, please forgive the officer at airport, our country is still not educated/aware as youd would expect them but there is hope(I like to believe).
I am sure u will look fabulous, wig or no wig. You are my first crush when I saw u as a kid in afreen afreen and u will always be! I Pray to god u get well soon and have a wonderful life ahead! God bless 🙂
I had almost stopped visiting and was really pleased to see you did 3 blogs in the meanwhile :). Loved to read as usual.
Interesting point you made about not wanting to be perfect anymore or torturing yourself over say a size zero. So one of the most beautiful women in the world also didn’t find her beauty good enough!
it’s amazing how we hold our ability to discern beauty higher than beauty itself, and it would not do for us to accept anything is perfect as it is..coz what will we do with the ability to discern then.
I have the same problem…everyone does in some measure..except it makes me an under achiever..coz I always have this haunting question….what if I were as perfect as I imagine perfection to be…then the world will not be worthy of me……..and If I am not born perfect..why? Am I bad or unlucky. Why do I have to try to be what I should be. Ha! What a screwed up brain and I have had this thinking since I was a 12 year old kid. You see I bought into the myth of Gods and Heroes and no one including myself came close to being anything like a real hero or God in this world.
That is why I mistrust the concept of perfect god….when we try to make something extraordinarily pure and lofty we make every thing look dirty and I find no virtue in it.
I remember being so offended as a kid once during janamashtami celebration in the army temple..I was 8 or 9 and I walked out in outrage ..when the priest said…we are all sinner my lord, forgive us….I hissed at my father..How can he say that about me..look at him ..he is a fat greedy priest. He must be a sinner ..I am not. My Pa just chuckled and asked me to go play outside. I remember turning to the image of Krishna and saying..no offence to you, but I am not praying in this dirty temple and I am no sinner.
How I now wish that absolute confidence I had that I was JUST right would come back to me. I used to have regular conversations with God…mostly the diety Shivji as all others were kind of boring to me. Shivji was the rockstar. My dearest Mamaji told us tons of stories and best were of Shivji. In my mind I was always his girlfriend. LOL I still remember the dream where God (Shivji’s father..he he) was sitting in the garden, watching some angels dance the bharatnatyam (that was and is my fav dance form..used to watch it for hours on doordarshan) and told when I sat on his lap, that I was his favourite child!
Then I lost it…lost those dreams and lost that connection. I was 10, I don’t know why but I bought the logic everyone told me that I must be bad like many others and will have to atone for sins I must have committed unknowingly, though I never understood what wrong I did when I never did anything that seemed wrong to me excpet I used to go throw the milk down the drain at the back of the house and feel miserable that I was wasting milk in a country where millions starved as Papa always reminded us and I used to lie about doing homework…and from that time to this I have had only problems..I see only imperfection in me and I miss that severed connection. Obviously now..I won’t have the concept of God as this benign lord of the universe who watches pretty angels dance..But I really wish I could find that connect. The only problems in life before 11 were..school bullies, injections, maths and being forced to drink milk by mom!!!
I MISS MY CHILDHOOD. How I wish I could be a child again and live it CONCIOUSLY :).
How I have rambled….Glad no one reads this stuff…but for what it is worth…Heal soon Lisa and find your answers or atleast find your questions! :)..Love and Hugs.
Dear Lisa Ray,
its 12am of 4th april here in Brunei and i wanted & rly cnt wait to wish U Happy Birthday…may GOD bless U alwz & may ur life cherish wit joys & hapiness…
p/s: rly wish i cud met U & hug U one day… 🙂
HI LISA,
Happy birthday to you, from a French fan.
It’s 1 AM in France and I have found your blog today.
Writing in English is not easy for me, so I send you these words in French :
“Pour ne jamais se perdre, il n’est que le sens du chemin. Rien ne distingue le chemin qui continue de ses affluents surgis de buissons semblables et de pierres jumelles. Rien. Sinon la qualité de l’usure et le mystère de l’aboutissement tracé en nous.”
Thanks with all my soul to be so talented.
Paula
Hi Lisa
Good morning. Hope you have health and strenght. I am just visiting to check if you had any posts to enlighten me. Even though i have your posts sent to my email at work, i still check in here ever so often to keep up. Hope to read from you soon.
Hey fighter 🙂
lemme start formally, so how are u 😉 ??? am quite a fan of yours…urrrmm no..i think its more than that, i think its a crush lol…i dunno how far has the treatment been a success, but i just pray it works out best…saw a few interviews of you on you tube, you say you are happy but was i wrong when i felt a pain etched behind your eyes and smile??? makes me wonder…there’s a great difference from the Lisa of the screens before and the Lisa who’s living with that cancer today..did u notice that, and am not talking about physical differences?? 🙂
To be honest, what are you really seeking from this treatment Liz?? whats always on your mind??? i bet your more thoughtful these days like you’ve never been before and am talking about when you are with yourself…there’s a lot i wana write to u..but i gotta go to work in a few minutes…so am leaving now…
Take care Liz…god bless
Lisa,
I just recently became acquainted with your work and your situation. I just wanted to offer my thoughts and prayers. I hope all is well. Thank you for all you do. There are many of us that are pulling for you. Best wishes to you and your family.
Beautiful words!
Best of luck with everything!
I loved “Illness is alchemy” – you are blessed to realize this 🙂
[…] in January. She has written extensively (and honestly) about aspects of the experience, like losing her hair, on her blog, The Yellow Diaries. Ray’s hair has now grown into a short pixie cut; she says, […]
Dearest Lisa,
I just want to say:
When something happens to you, something happens for you.
I wish you all the very best…& MORE!!! You are real inspiration. Take care and yes NEVER STOP FIGHTING!!!
Sherina.
Lisa,
Hoje, te amo! ( I LOVE YOU TODAY)
Brasil.
Concordo. 🙂
А вы, как большым поклонником её!
Понравилось видеть как она стала популярной на стране которую я обожаю очень. 🙂
(And you like a big fan of hers. I liked to see how she became popular in the country that I love a lot.)
Понравилось название!
Será que a Lisa lê essas mensagens?
The body keeps changing by every single breath.
It is the soul that is constant.
The soul by its nature is non material and pure and ubiquitous.
Dear Lisa,
just wanted to say I absolutely admire you.
Your strength is beyond limits and your writing just beautiful.
Gesegnet seist du..
‘Why you no have hair?’
what damn kind of comment is it?
Wish my dear Lisa happy everyday.
Sorry for poor english,’cause i am a non-english fan……
You are a courageous woman. You give hope to all terminally ill patients. Thank you for showing us your courage. You are an inspiration to us all through your beauty and strength.
Dear Nerissa,
Thank you for your words of support for my daughter.There are times when we think that life is unfair and question ‘why me ?’ But as you said there are myriad forces that help us through everything.
My daughter was diagnosed with ITP two years back and she was in urgent need of platelet tranfusions. Relatives and friends turned up at the hospital to donate but even more units were required. Then someone sent out an SMS through the Red Cross and soon we started getting phonecalls from complete strangers who were offering to donate.People were willing to leave their work and be available at any time during the day or night. I was overwhelmed – all they would accept in return was nothing more than a plain ‘thank you’.
Similarly, when my daughter fell ill just before her 12th Board exams, I rushed to her boarding school and was pleasantly surprised to see how concerned and caring the school staff were – arrangements were even made to conduct exams for her in the hospital. When she was diagnosed with Lupus, people went out of their way to help us get appointments with the best doctors in the field.
It is really heartening to note that there are people in this world who are willing to help others through difficult times.
I wish you the very best!
Ranjit
You have been so inspiring to each one of us in every little way and has shown the world what LIFE is actually about! Kudos to your blog, your club, your strength…to you rather! I had missed you all this while and you had been in my prayers..
Dear Lisa,
We may be of different religion, of different race… but i would just like you to know that you are always included in my prayers. Don’t lose hope. God loves us.

Lisa – a Cancer Patient – Survivor – Model – Who are you? How about being Human? But I guess it is tough to be a simple human….But you are a winner in that as well!!!
Keep fighting. You still look beautiful. And technically you are in perfect shape for Bollywood, Tollywodd.
Cheers!!!
Dear Lisa Rani Ray,
When I began to read your writing, I came to realise your depth and anguish; And the purity of your passion to live.
And to have overcome this thorn, if at least for now
You are Wow! just Wow…
To me, you resemble a doe fighting to get out of a trap, and it is as if GOD saw you struggling with so much passion, so much; that HE made a way for you…
You are truly much much more beautiful than what you look like.
GOD Bless You With a wholesome and a yummy life 🙂
For you…
“If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and
your sleep for it
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
and cheap for it
If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,
If gladly you’ll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God or man for it,
If you’ll simply go after that thing that you want.
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,
If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,
If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You’ll get it!”
By Berton Braley.
No Words for you….You are simply the goddess of inspiration.
Saluting your spirit…
And here some has rightly said…may be for brave soul like you…
“Manzile unhiko milti hai, jinke sapno mein jaan hoti hai;
Pankh se kuch nahi hota, honsalo se hi udaan hoti hai.”
Raj.
Lisa,
Just recently found you and this journey…I’ve stopped needing to know why one moment or person touches the heart like a drop of water falling into a still pond on a thick hot day. There have been so many drops, and it is the truth, isn’t it? We are all the pool, and it is so exquisite to feel our connection, perhaps especially through challenging experiences and facing that which is strange.
I like to see your journey. Thank you for sharing it. I appreciate your openness, not necessarily to speak in this way, but to cull yourself out by speaking in this way. It is great, don’t you think? When I make the choice to share some poem or song, I know that I have become tired of agreeing, walking a path in which I cannot use my senses to their fullest and most authentic. I must strip myself of my finest liveries…and let myself feel anew..and because I am going to share my ‘findings’, I enter a space, and my intended audience is somehow also there. They hold me, so that I may awaken myself again, learn, heal, grow, refresh my path. Your words feel like a soothing pitcher of water, a puja, and I thank you for taking this journey for yourself.
It has inspired me to be touched.
I am now on this journey with you, thank you for calling.
Hello, I am from Chile and I think you are very brave! I am sorry but I do not know to speak english very well.
I just want to tell you enjoy your life because nothing is impossible when we believe. Enjoy your family and what you are. Do not forget what do you want in your future and trust.
hugs and kisses
Lis

You are not only a good actor but also a very good writer. please keet it up and please write some updated news of yours. Take care. Love you very much
Hi Lisa,
I’ve been reading almost everything about for the past few days. I wish I’ll see you in person someday here in California. I pray to God you’ll be okey. I have a lot of things to say but can’t express in words. You’re a good writer and an actress.
I love you…
Abby
Talofa Lisa,
Never new of you before until now! Funny how the Universe works, we live our lives everyday as we were conditioned by our families, cultures and society. Then one day, for a split second the Universe in its own perfect timing presents you with an unexpected surprise! Whether good or bad you are faced with it! We love it when it’s good and down when bad!
I am gratful to the Universe and its perfect timing, I met you on screen last month! We humans love it when we meet a celebrity or someone with high status in person and who wouldn’t myself included! But for now through the screen our spirits have connected and that’s the same connection you have with everyone around the world! You are exactly where you are suppose to be and doing what you were meant to do and I am sitting here at the school library instead of studying for my Women’s History final writing you because my spirit stirred me to come here and do this!Now let me go back feed my brain with women’s history notes for my final tomorrow! It’s wonderful how you’ve connected spiritually with people from all different walks of life including this one! It’s beautiful to see your pure true self and I love that about you!!
Blessings
Dear Lisa,
I guess like all Indians been keen to see you since the moment you appeared in BD ads and then of course ‘aafrin’ video.
You are a truly talented and beautiful person. I became a fan of your acting prowess after ‘kasoor’ ‘bolywood holywood’ and bowled over after watching ‘i can’t think straight’.
Take care, we care for you…
amazing writing here from your comments, could fill a blog of there own. Was wondering how you are and wondering if modeling will be of interest to you in the future. Live in Santa Barbara outside of LA and love your spirit and energy…
all good thoughts to you and bless you on your journey.

ur comment is very inspiring in itself.take care

hi lisa,
Few days back i watched u from the big screen admiring your beauty.
Now, I feel you very close to me dear, I admire what you are yourself and love your guts girl. Keep blogging and take lots of care of yourself.
Luv,
Naveen
its wonderful to see you survive the ordeal…. this brought hope to those who needs it… (:
stay cheerful and strong… you are not alone (:
Lisa Rani Ray, what a beautiful name befitting a beautiful girl/lady. I am so happy to learn that you are cancer survivor and hope that you are always going to be cancer free. My husband and I first saw you in the movie, “Water”, and then today, we saw you in, “Bollywood/Hollywood. I like both movies and I am quite impressed with your acting. I hope you start acting in movies soon. God Bless.
I am amazed at your courage and positive outlook on life. I use to live in India in my youth and moved to Canada 8 years ago. I too have been going through a health challenge and learnt to live life rather than think about the problems. If you are in Vancouver, hope we can meet for a coffee.
Love this blog,and I am one of big fans of you.
I understand I am writing this far past what would be called the “prime” of this post…but you are incredibly inspiring writer… your words, their tempo. Thank you for being so willing to share pieces of your life and journey.. I can only imagine the impact and encouragment it has on those who travel any form of similar paths…
Após assistir ao filme procurei detalhes sobre as personagens.
É caricato ficar falando sobre nossas próprias vidas, mas já passei por alguns casos na minha família e, apesar de penoso o tratamento, obtivemos sucesso.
Cada coisa que acontece em nossas vidas, de certa forma, nos faz crescer enquanto pessoas, enquanto seres em busca de evolução.
Encare como uma processo.
Força!
Felicidades na sua jornada!
I wanted to post an article here with your permission but there is no contact address so I hope I do not upset anyone as my topic is a health related topic concerning cancer…but obtained by SMOKING. So, if you are a smoker….LISTEN UP!
I have travel often and I am horrified at the percentage of the population that smokes in these wonderful places. Cigarette companies reckless disregard for human life borders on genocide!(ok, a little strong perhaps). I grew up with a father that smoked, and nights in front of the TV encased in a cloud of poisonous smoke was most unpleasant. This scenario still plays out today! Governments in the west are making strides in the right direction but not enough is being done, especially in Asia. The solution has arrived in the form of a revolutionary device called Electronic Cigarettes. I want the word to get out, and I hope bloggers like you can help. I don’t know if you have heard about these or even seen them? I’ll quickly explain: They are basically made up of three components; a battery, atomizer and cartridge which holds the nicotine. These devices do NOT have the 4,000 or so poisonous toxins that you find in a normal cigarette. There is NO SMOKE, NO TAR, NO ASH and NO horrid butts to be discarded onto our streets. The smoke is actually just water vapor. For more info you could visit my website and click on the FAQ heading to fully understand what these are. I do NOT encourage smoking and see these as a way for smokers to have a healthier alternative. The cartridges with nicotine come in various strengths and you can actually buy ZERO-NICOTINE cartridges so for those smokers who find it’s a habitual-ritual….so they can now smoke but without all the cancer-causing substances.
If you believe that these have a place in society and see the benefits like I do, I would really love to be able to submit an article to you that you could possibly publish on your blog?
Smokers are programmed addicts; the big cigarette companies are vermin and have no moral compass. For the sake of our next generation…we need to ensure that mums and dads around the world are not killing their kids with passive smoke or indirectly encouraging them to take-up this filthy habbit.
I do sell these Electronic Cigarettes (e-cigs) but I do have a genuine concern and desire to inform people of a much healthier smoking substitute!
I look forward to your reply.

Redge Perrin
Lisa,
You are a jewel..a role model for other women about how to tackle the difficult situations in life. Take care of your health..The entire world is with you.We will pray…never keep the spirits down.
Reblogged this on Rustic Rumble and commented:
Its not about a fight. Its more about emotions and wisdom. Its more about love for life. Inspiring and worth reading!
Behind the beautiful pictures and glamorous eyes there’s a hidden pain in you which I didn’t notice in the first time I comment on your post.
Actually I have never met a child philosopher. But met a philosopher who behave s like a child.
je ne sais est ce que je peut parler en Francais ou en Angalis, mais je préfère la première
Je te connait pas, et tous ses personnes ne te connaissent pas….trop de commentaire, c’est pas pour Lisa la personne, mais pour la charmante actrice…et ça fait mal au cœur!!!!!!
Je sens une souffrance entre les lignes de ce paragraphe…surement c’est une grand souffrance.
Quand l’une de mes amies se sens mal, je l’invite pour venir passer quelque jour dans ma petite ville ou j’habite…pour sentir la simplicité et la beauté des gens…quelque sois son origine.
peut être que tu ne fera pas attention a ce message, puisque il vient de quelqu’un que tu connait pas. Mais considère le comme une invitation d’une amie. A.A
Happy early birthday!
Keep on fighting the good fight.
Happy Birthday, dear.

Lisa, you’re one of the most beautiful writers I have come across. Your writings are impactful to say the least. I had heard previously that you’re a very intelligent woman, and were a brilliant student in school to receive a double-promotion in your junior class. But your blogs are depiction of your artistic and beautiful self.
You’re a survivor – a fighter – and I am glad and thankful that you are. Keep writing for many many more years. Hoping for a beautiful life for you, ahead. Bhalo theko!
