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...

Being Libran

I read somewhere that Librans are all about balance and fairness; they are the worst decision makers and are highly creative. I don’t completely believe in stars or in their prophecies however to some extent I must agree that I am in approval of the inherent tendencies associated with astrological signs.

I am just unable to go to any extremes probably that is the reason that I’m not into adventures as one has to live on the edge, something which is not possible for me.

I’ll take it as a sign that I am doing what I am destined to do from birth. I must sheepi...

Success

I didn’t even realize its been 13 days since I last wrote I thought merely couple of days elapsed; At times I so much wanted to write but the tiredness of body didn’t allow me. Nevertheless, now I am in your esteemed presence and with love. What is the recipe which manufactures successful or accomplished individuals? Is it their sheer hard work, perseverance or plain simple luck? Everyone gives their best to win, to prove their mettle, to be recognized and accepted for their efforts; nonetheless very few make it to the top. From what I have seen through my personal observation is that neither the quantity nor quality of labour invested is primary but how you manage everything is the most crucial element. We daily come across people who are highly talented, works meticulously day in and day out but they remain underrated. Then there are very few who possess limited or no relevant talent yet they achieve the acme of their fields. When I was completing my law I almost gave my life to f...
