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...

Golf ball, really!

Most of the day went in excitement and discovery. I have been following reflexology experts Kevin and Barbara Kunz on facebook and yesterday they have uploaded an excellent self-help healing technique, called the golf-ball technique . If anyone of you heard of acupressure, it is a type of acupuncture except that in acupressure instead of needles pressure of thumb and fingers are applied with specific techniques over the body. In Reflexology pressure is only applied on feet and hand because it has been found that all our body organs have extension or reflex points on our hands and feet. In the golf-ball technique, pressure is applied by golf ball on hands which suspend our stress levels thus resulting in proper flow of current in our bodies and ultimately healing. It’s a very simple, harmless and inexpensive way to heal sinus, asthma, digestive problems, hay fever, allergies, migraines, managing stress, pre-childbirth and labour complications. It even provides overall health condi...

Thank you for your love…

Thank you so much, my dearest friends and family for appreciating yesterday’s post; all I can say is that I am humbled by your love. Whatever you liked in that post was not due to my writing or my expression but merely due to your own presence in my life. All of you have given me such beautiful moments hence all I did was wrote them down and shared some beloved memories. Night is pressing on and so as my need to sleep, its only 11 pm and I suddenly find it difficult to concentrate and if I continue like this I might sleep on the keyboard. Therefore, I am sorry but I have to keep it brief tonight. Once again thank you all, for such a warm response for yesterday’s post. I hope to be there tomorrow in a focused state Insha-Allah, until then Good Night & Sweet Dreams. Sonya. (Day 194)

Darling

Once more a curious title, but I am excited to be called darling twice in one day by two different friends (girl friends). I made two calls and as soon as my both of my friends picked up they said in an enthusiastic tone “ darling ”; however, more than me the people who were sitting with them were stunned. Friends have their own amazing ways of expressing love and one can only be grateful for that. One of my friend from early school, in fact from kindergarten, Muneeza Shoaib aka Azee is hopefully coming to Karachi from UAE and I am excited to meet her. I think I had a dream or vision about my kindergarten few days back and I saw Azee and I having some really exciting conversation; I think I was telling her something and she was all thrilled listening to it. Its been ages since we last met, we use to have so much fun together. Whether it was our birthdays or school functions, there used to be regular soirees at her place where her mom (Aunty) cooked delicious foods. We read...

Monday blues

11 pm and I am done with all daily chores, nothing is left and now this post is finally that last touch before I go to the comforts of sleep. Everyone at home especially the kids-cum-cousins were bored to extreme heights, nobody had anything to do and then there is Monday. So all of us went through monday-sickness or Monday-blues together. In my curiosity and to get the right concept I googled Monday-sickness and hundred results appeared. Then I realized we are not the only ones suffering from it but there are many people who share the same sentiments. In Monday-sickness people mostly suffer from muscular pains or viral infection on mondays and it is actually when we enjoy and relax on our weekends too much that we begin to realize that we have to start our week all over again. The feeling of enjoyment, fun and relaxation on weekends often stays with us when Monday comes which later turns into lethargy or boredom. There were researches done by leading universities which included revi...
