Love with radio
“Mujhe apni awaaz Radio mein sun ni thi! (I then looked for my voice on the radio.) I had been fascinated by this concept in which you capture all the attention of thousands of people with just your voice!” watching my father pay attention to the screens of his transistor with determination and over time it has become an obsession,” Pallavi says.
Born and raised in the nation’s capital, Pallavi says she used to relentlessly convince her father to take her to the studio of The All India Radio (AIR). His father had retired as sports editor of one of the major publications and used to present a sports update, a weekly sports magazine on radio.
“I asked him to introduce me to the radio global and one day strangely accepted. I got excited. He took me to AIR, however, he left me to locate my own path in construction and people,” he recalls.

With the advent of personal FM in the country, he eventually joined Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM, while the prime-time athlete in Delhi and his screen clicked with the audience, which earned him the admiration of being a local celebrity.

“I also taught schoolchildren! Kaam mein bahot maza aya, kaam ko kabhi mana nahi kiya par raaton ko neend nahi thi aur din mein sukoon nahi tha. (I enjoyed my paintings but I couldn’t do much after I was running forever. For the first ten years of my career, I prioritized my paintings that then began to affect my physical personality,” explains the former RJ.
Meet your love
While RJ, 29, explored and juggled professional duties, he also met the love of his life Rahul Narvekar at the Jeevansathi.com. Rahul then lived in Mumbai.
“It just matched my criteria! The only component that bothered me and bothered me Mumbai, however, we started to get closer. With each and every SMS, each and every email, we fall in love.
I convinced him to visit Delhi for a year. And he agreed. But it’s been 19 years since then. We don’t go to Mumbai and he still complains, ” he said.
Pallavi describes his days after marriage (2002-2005) as one of the happiest days of his life, his career achieving the right chords, getting the space of his dreams, attending industry parties with his spouse in crime.

Twisting in the plot
Rian, a month old, cradled in his arms when Pallavi, while humming a lullaby, suddenly felt his tongue heavy and laughed.
“The next morning, when I started brushing my teeth, I might not spit out the foam. It splashed the whole sink and my cheeks were lifeless. I had to stick my hands in my mouth to get the foam out. frightened, ” recalls Pallavi.
The couple rushed to the gynecologist, who asked them to come to the neurologist as soon as possible. After a series of tests, your doctor diagnosed her disorder as a “severe myasthenia.”

The disorder can cause drooping eyelids, blurred or double vision, speech problems, chewing and swallowing, chronic muscle fatigue and weakness in the arms and legs where you can’t walk even a few steps.
He had to go through surgery and was looking to regain his voice with the help of doctors and experts in Array … all this when the only thing that constantly hit Pallavi’s brain was the spectacle he had to return to.
“What was a surprise was that after my operation, I could not speak clearly. The insult was gone but the voice was weak. When they were consulted, doctors informed me that one of my vocal cords was paralyzed the operation, which was an irreversible process,” he told The Logical Indian.
About to waste the only thing that meant the global to her, Pallavi said that “the doctor told me I couldn’t go back on the air, never come back to life.”
After a few months, she was diagnosed with a thympoma tumor in her left lung and had another primary surgery to remove five tumors that included chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Pallavi’s life was replaced after the operation. Her yoga guru had given her confidence by telling her that she would make sure she could locate her voice again.
He thought that since one vocal cord was paralyzed, they would paint the other. With yoga, pranayama and meditation, Pallavi returned to the animation of his exhibition as a morning athlete: “The sportsman who had lost his voice”.
Tumor reappears
Months later, Pallavi, after being in the air, can feel the difference in the quality of the transmitted content. Reports had affected his physical well-being, which included the aesthetics of his voice.
She resigned as a radio athlete and instead assumed the leading role in the CSR wing of the radio station (corporate social responsibility).
“I started taking my fitness seriously. I trained with an instructor for a long time, which made me participate in the dream 7km race of the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon and a year later ran for the 21km Airtel Delhi. Marathon.
Pallavi continues: “A few months later, the shortness of breath started again and once the tumor reappeared in my left lung, I underwent another primary surgery and had five tumors removed, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
A few months later, Pallavi began to be prone to the disease and was put on a fan many times. Suddenly I had lost weight.
Some tests and an MRI revealed “hot spots” in his right lung. Doctors, after much deliberation, removed the hot spots as a precautionary measure.
A third primary operation compromised his body.
The worst to come

Inside the room, he began practicing the beds around him to write short stories on his mobile phone, which were then compiled into “UCI Love Stories”.
Living a life
“I am a living example of how the mind shapes your reality. I have experienced minds, intelligent or evil, that manifest themselves in life. After the last operation, I told Rahul that I was looking to be a home and that it would no longer happen for anything medical and that a conscious resolution led me to a great recovery from my physical and intellectual self,” pallavi says.
She started with minor lifestyle changes, adding nutrition, which led to greater goals. He resumed his professional life, which had been affected amid his fitness concerns.
However, it was also the moment he learned that his story could help replace lives. Not only would it make other people aware of the rare illness he diagnosed, but his struggle and final victory over difficulties would motivate millions of others.
He began a discussion about life: food, nutrition, career, rare diseases and how to navigate through the typhoon through his inspiring speeches and podcasts.
