From Normal to Unimaginable—In a Fraction of a Second
One moment, I was living what most would call a normal life—busy with everyday routines, plans for tomorrow, and the comfort of a predictable rhythm. And then, in a single moment, everything changed. I never imagined my life would take such a sharp turn. A diagnosis. A whirlwind of hospital visits. Medications. Fear. And eventually, the unimaginable double lung transplant. They say life can change in the blink of an eye. Mine did. I went from managing a household and chasing my dreams to fighting for every breath. Everything I once took for granted—walking without effort, climbing stairs, dancing, sleeping peacefully—suddenly became a struggle. This book is my story. It’s about everything that happens before and after the transplant. It’s not just a medical journey but a deeply emotional and personal one. It’s about pain and strength, fear and faith, loss and rediscovery. It’s about learning to live again—in a new body, with new rules, and a new perspective. If you’ve ever had your world turned upside down, if you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself from scratch, or if you’re walking through your own storm right now, I hope this story reminds you that even after the hardest fall, life can still bloom again. This is not just about survival. This is about transformation. This is my second chance, and here’s how I found life again.

Karthika never set out to become a writer, but life had other plans.What began as a personal habit of journaling through challenging times slowly evolved into a powerful desire to share her story with others. A single mother and lung transplant survivor, Karthika writes from a place of deep resilience, capturing the raw emotions, strength, and hope that carried her through. Her debut work is a heartfelt reflection on survival, motherhood, and finding purpose through pain. Away from writing, she enjoys baking, dancing, painting, and cherishing quiet moments with her daughter.
