This women’s day was spent rather
unusually after attending an event at the Imperial
Hotel, CP. The event was a platform for health awareness for women at any age. Each
woman is unique in her own way, extending help to her loved ones in every
possible way without any expectations.

“Be mentally sound, fight back
with courage and have the strength to make the impossible, possible.” These
inspiring words by Ms. Joita Soni (a Courageous Cancer Survivor for several
times, a fighter and Roko Cancer’s Le’ Flamingo club member)  echoed at Emily Eden & Hodges- the venue
to celebrate the occasion of International Women’s Day at The Imperial New
Delhi. Her story educated and reminded all the women present that how special
they are in their own right fighting back emotions and staying positive even in
the hour of extreme distress.
Ms. Joita Soni – A courageous cancer survivor
Ms. Soni a chief guest for the
lovely afternoon of International Women’s day at The Imperial with Roko Cancer
Charitable trust enlightened the women associates at The Imperial Ladies’ Club
along with guests from media. She talked about the strength and power of a
woman to fight back all odds, understanding the importance of their existence,
in the life of their loved ones.
While talking about her hard to
believe survival journey and fighting back cancer again and again, she went
down memory lane sharing her most difficult decision “ I will not feel sorry
for myself for what I am going though “. She shared a strong message on the
occasion  “Stop being a pleaser to
others, negating your own self.
This leads to storing of emotions against the
rhythm of your body, developing into negative harmones which are eventually
released in the form of diseases. Be spiritually awake and stay happy for your
own self first !” Ms. Soni’s medical journey left everyone in tears and her
courage and grit filled the women with utter inspiration.
The event also featured a session
on importance of healthy living for women by Dr. Sakshi Sharma – Senior
