"I guess I hadn't really learnt the lessons I was meant to; but now I have been schooled.        Sharing my learnings:  -DO NOT TAKE YOUR HEALTH FOR GRANTED. EVER! - Hospitals make you realise that beneath the vanity, the ego, the personality & the life experiences, we're all just biology - Food is a drug just for the brain; the body can survive on a glucose drip -- and I love food and I missed it so much," she added. Shruti Seth Reminisces Her Good Old VJ Days, Says ‘This Was a Life Dream Come True’ (View Post)

Shruti said that even the "most basic bodily functions are the work of some incredible engineering so be grateful for just being able to open your eyes every morning or being able to fall asleep at night". "Be good to your body so it can't return the favour when you need it - count your blessings and hold on to people who love you and genuinely care about your well being," she further stated.

"I actually have physical scars to remind me about the uniqueness of the year gone by. And I hope they remind to always say thanks!  I'm sending all of you tonnes of love and positivity for the new year. May it treat us kindly.
