My Two Cents

Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase.   It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions.  This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...

My Cleaning Obsession

Disappearance from my beloved blog had been due to exhaustion, mainly because of domestic work rather than professional. To look into chores that have been missed out at home save for when simple cleaning starts bordering to obsessive compulsive disorder then the obvious result is exhaustion.  My argument for cleaning up is that it feels like every encumbrance around you and within you just cleaned up, leaving you fresh and renewed. With New energy, new hope, new expectations. However excess of anything is poison and to get high from cleanliness is not a healthy tendency either.

Firstly, this is a highly hazardous habit and second some of the guests become over-conscious about the quality of maintenance of their own home prior to my visit there. Once I went to see...

Day 53

It is fulfilling when days are spent in doing something, not just being busy but productive. Although I didn’t sculpt David yet if I am able to enjoy the fruits of my effort and hard-work then nothing is more creative than that. By the end of the day I got beautifully tired and to write in drowsiness is never a good idea. We make certain decisions that we might not like but due pressing circumstances such choices become inevitable. At times I have also taken some decisions that I am/was not comfortable with, ones feels rather insensitive but then certain situations compel us to behave callously. After all, prevention is always better than cure. I got excited when the Blogspot people finally introduced new templates, they are all fresh and hip plus there is a huge variety to choose from. It was absolutely dull to keep on writing on the same ole same ole backgrounds. At first I opted for an abstract theme but then it turned out to be too bizarre for me and Amma thought it looked l...
