Shopping

If I have to make a list of the most boring things to do then shopping would top my list. Whether it’s for clothes, shoes or anything this is something that I am really uncomfortable doing. In case I decide to take this humongous task I want to get over with it as quickly as possible, thankfully I’m a quick decision maker so I hardly encounter any confusion. All I have to do is to come in contact with the object of my desire this might take some time but after that everything falls into place. The one quality of mine I truly admire is that 99% of the time I know what I want; life becomes so easy when we have a clear cut idea of our desires otherwise with trillions of option available things are bound to get confusing.

Today I’m sort of shopping/browsing for a new mobile and its comforting to know that I have short-listed couple of them so buying would be easy now. All of them are simple and apt for my needs to the surprise of many I’m not going for any pricy options. Life has become very simple and basic for me; I don’t have the need to impress anyone anymore nor is there any desire to win appreciation or awe or value through pricy possessions. When we began to understand the reality of life and how trivial it is, then material things loose their allure and enchantment; juxtaposing we loose so much of the density and transform into lightness.

In such lightness I take your leave to rest. Good Night or shall I say Good Morning.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...

Magic or Miracles..continued

"Sadia Saleem   Another good one...ur blogs have always uplifted my spirits in some way, but this one being totally different gives us a small grasp at just how powerful our Almighty is...our praises are just a measurement of our faith in Him and our worships are a manifestation of that measurement...ur blog actually took me in d flashbacks and I remembered when we actually landed up at a babas astana for d sake of fun...at times those carefree days are deeply missed       keep up the best work    " This one is especially for my best friend Sadia who has always shown me her love, appreciation and encouragement. And of course, how can I forget all of you for always blessing me with your affections. Sadia and all of my Dear Readers, I thank you so much from my heart for responding so beautifully for my post “Miracles & Magic? I wonder…” .
