A Personal Health update
Dear friends, customers, and our extended community,
I wanted to take a moment to share an update on my health journey, as so many of you have shown such kindness, concern, and support and continue to enquire on my progress.
Late last year, I was diagnosed with cancer. It has been a life-changing and deeply challenging experience for both me and my family. What began as a sudden shock has now become a journey—one that is testing us, but also teaching us patience, strength, and acceptance.
As many of you know, this is the reason we made the very difficult decision to close Aspect Stationers after 22 years of serving the community. The shop was never just a business—it was part of our lives, filled with conversations, friendships, and shared moments over the years. Saying goodbye was incredibly emotional, but at that point, I had to place my health and treatment first.
Since my diagnosis, I have begun chemotherapy and am currently on a 21-day treatment cycle. Today, I am undergoing my third cycle. The treatment itself is not easy—there are good days and more difficult ones—but we are taking each day as it comes.
This journey has been both humbling and grounding. It has reminded me how little we truly control, and how important it is to place faith in something greater. I have found strength in prayer, in quiet reflection, and in trusting God and my Guru, His Holiness Mahant Swami, to guide me through whatever lies ahead.
As a family, we are staying strong together. There are moments of uncertainty, but also moments of deep gratitude—for time, for love, and for the support that surrounds us. The kindness, prayers, and heartfelt messages from so many of you have genuinely lifted our spirits and carried us through some very difficult days.
We are coping, one step at a time, with hope in our hearts and faith guiding us forward.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for your continued support—not just as customers, but as a community that has shown us true care and compassion over the last few months.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Mahesh
