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...

Jewels being lost are found againe *

It is really spooky to all of a sudden find something which you were looking for ages and almost lost all hope of ever seeing it again, one can’t help but get immense pleasure and joy on such occurrences. So I have also found something unexpectedly which is of great value to me, I didn’t even realize its worth until I found it. Why is it that we need to lose things in order to find later how much they meant to us? Probably that’s the way God would like things to be, and so when we ultimately find our precious gems we could be profoundly grateful for having them and take care of them the way they are supposed to be taken care of. I know for some of you my vague descriptions appear confusing but believe me few things are best if left just the way they are. After 4 days of constant worrying my little cousin brother Nabeel’s fever is reaching normalcy and so we all could breathe a sigh of relief. Its not easy to witness your dear ones in any sort of indisposition, you would want to do eve...

Freedom Flotilla

What a day it was yesterday when around 1 pm I heard the news of renowned Pakistani Journalist/Anchorperson from AAJ TV Talat Hussain (also a personal favorite of mine), his producer Raza Mehmood Agha and Nadeem Ahmad Khan of Khubaid Foundation went missing on Freedom Flotilla the Turkish ship, on Gaza-bound humanitarian mission, which came under Israeli attack in international waters. Flotilla was carrying aid along with more than 700 activists including journalists from 40 countries. Even though neither of these guys is my kith and kin nevertheless a sudden and intense bond with them and concern of their safety became the main concern not only for me but for many Pakistanis. Entire day people were glued to TV to receive some concrete news regarding their lives and safety. However, according to the latest information all three of them are out of harm's way and now all of us are waiting for their safe and sound return homewards. The role of media and our Government in all of...

Power of Thought

I wonder what would become of my sleep tonight; I made myself a cup of cold black coffee with no particular reason just felt like doing it. Now mind is wondering in infinity and there is nothing to think and nothing to talk about. I am quite amazed at my mind’s working because some ancient thoughts which I assumed to have been quiescent are suddenly active but thankfully are not causing me any trouble or agony. I want to stay with them for a little while however knowing what I know about thoughts and the power they unleash I prefer not to dwell with them anymore. Beyond our bony skeleton, our blood, the tissues and cells we are made up of electron, neurons and atom which forms our basis; and atom is pure energy. Every human being is manufactured with the same energy quotient even the non-living things that are apparently solid like a table or a chair are also made up of these energy elements. Similarly our thoughts also possess energy and emanate a certain frequency every single ...
