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...

Back to the pavilion- Day 108 (Part 2)

Many apologies for my disappearance, believe me this time it wasn’t intentional. The antivirus which I installed on my PC expired few days ago and it was only wise to use PC after renewing the security system. Due to heavy rains we were all stuck in home for 3 days however I must say that I had an unusually good time because in these rains for the very first time there were absolutely no electricity cuts everything was working in pristine condition. Albeit few days passed by but it seems like an eternity that I came on the blog. These past few days have been interesting and I have met new people and it goes beyond saying that all of them have something quite positive about them. By the way did I tell you guys that I am learning reiki and acupressure, I think not. Well you must have heard about acupuncture and they are similar to it except that these methods of healing are without any needles. Both reiki and acupressure are alternative medicine where absolutely no medications are inv...

Day 108 (Part 1)

Many Condolences and prayers on the demise of 152 passengers of Air Blue (Airbus A321) which crashed into the Margalla Hills, Islamabad, Pakistan. May God bless the souls of the people who lost their lives in the crash and give peace to their relatives and loved ones and bestow upon them the courage and patience to go through this ordeal. More prayers of peace and betterment for the people who lost their lives, loved ones, their homes & livelihoods in the heavy floods across the country. With so much disastrous news coming from all quarters it becomes difficult to function normally in our daily lives; feelings of being completely helpless are inevitable under these circumstances. It frustrates us for not being able to do anything for anyone. So these are the times which call on us to pray- to pray for miracles. These are the times when we must not only pray for ourselves but for everyone who is in trouble or agony anywhere. We should pray for the peace, safety and prosperity, e...

Misperceptions

For some strange reason I am unable enjoy the retirement which Sundays bring into our lives. On this particular day of the week I find myself surrounded with the feelings of lethargy and boredom, no TV show, nothing appears to be interesting and it all feels dull. Life is thankfully getting into routine and discipline and there is something wonderful about waking up early morning. Spirit, mind and body are in perfect harmony at dawn; the day begins early in the quietude and transitory time when the ultimate darkness of night is leading the way for the brightness of sun and is beckoning for a new day. Probably this is why these early hours harmonise and resonates most with the human nature because regardless of the darkness of any time there shall be always light, giving way to the brightness of hope and new beginnings which shall inevitably follow through. There are quite a few things that I would like to talk about but where and how to start is somehow puzzling. There have been so...
