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...

Winters and wishes

Its freezing especially in my room, I think the temperature of my room is -10 degrees. I wanted to buy a room heater but I found a short cut. I simply saw the electricity bill of last month and a wave of heat and extreme sweat went through me.

It is never good idea to make guesses or to live in ‘wishful-thinking’ state, because when the suspense breaks and what comes out is not always a surprise but more of a shock.  Few years ago there was lady lawyer who opened up her independent law firm, in those days I was work...

Change

    Many Best Wishes to the entire Nation on the Birthday of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. On his 136 th birthday the best gift which we could give him is our determination that in this New Year we will all strive to fulfill our true ideology as a peaceful and prosperous Nation. So tsunami of change has arrived in Karachi. We all had serious apprehensions regarding the safety of this humongous political gathering by Tehreek-e-Insaaf in Karachi but thankfully it all turned out to be safe and peaceful. We frequently curse this darkness of insecurity, turbulence, economic downfall that is prevalent in our country these days but actually we should be profoundly thankful for this darkness, because until we have truly experienced darkness we would not know what is light. If all had been continuing in below average conditions of law and order or economics we would have never opted for different choices in our leadership, it is when we went down the hil...
