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...

Sundries

Wow! My life has seemed to fly with the speed of a rocket, and I have been unsuccessful to register any of it. For about a week or more circumstances in my life have altered dramatically: please note that I am neither married nor engaged, yet. It all relates to my work.

I feel as I have reached a Full Circle moment in my life. Well, whatever it is whether for long term or temporarily, all I have to do is to give my 100% and be authentic. I have learned that instead of telling God, this or that is my purpose, I always ask that Supreme Intelligence as to what He wants from me.

When you are so full of ideas or thoughts of how things should or shouldn’t be then you interfere with His plans. So I have learned not to bombard my life with my own thoughts or ideas and simply to move out of my way.

For such a long time I have been living in the Island of my comfort zone, meeting or not meeting people, doing or not doing anything, meditating, practicing consciousness. Then few months ago, I had a voice saying me to wake up and get out there. “For so long you have lived in your comfort zone and now it is time to think about entering the physical world. You don’t have to do anything, all you had to do is to have the Intention”, the Voice told me.

It was the same compelling voice which last year told me to find Dr. Zainab Bhaiji. I didn’t have her number or her address or remembered her last name but then within 30 minutes I made some calls, searched and contacted her. At that time I could not understand why I was sent there, however, I gradually realized that I needed healing for my writer’s cramp and slight hormonal disturbance; conditions which I had for some years. I also learned about myself, about my capabilities which I never knew to have existed in me. So many veils lifted and I faced some truths.

A word of caution here, not every voice you hear is an intuition but some are mere noises  and wish/worry of your mind. So if you have an impulse wait for some time, if it is only noise it will subside but if its true intuition things will become easy and effortless and then ultimately the true intuition will gush you out of the way. More importantly with real intuition you don't have to do anything at all, you will go with the flow.   

We always think of ourselves as one-dimensional cardboard image of us. We decide what we can do or cannot do, but when we truly empty our minds from stereotypes, mindsets, judgments, guilt, fear, wishes, hidden agendas; something beautiful and surprising emerges from within. Then we understand that we have such a limited view of ourselves.

As I try to comprehend my life situations, I take your leave.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Sonya. (Day 199)

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...

3 January 2019

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...

The Telecom Bill That Slipped Through While Pakistan Looked Elsewhere

While we were all mourning the petrol price hikes and drowning in the chaos of inflation, IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja quietly tabled the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) (Amendment) Bill 2026. Most of us didn't even notice. The bill amended the 1996 Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-Organization) Act. It redefined certain terms and replaced Section 27A on Right of Way with a new Section 27B. What sounds like routine legislative work is anything but ordinary. This bill grants state-backed authorization to telecom companies to take over any private property or land and install 5G infrastructure including mobile towers and fiber-optic networks wherever they please. No consent required. No negotiation. Just entry and installation. The astonishing reality is that this draconian bill which grossly violates the fundamental rights of Pakistanis was approved by majority vote in the National Assembly on June 11, 2026. Not a single member objected. Nobody raised their voic...
