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...

Experiment with Gratitude

Its almost 12:00 am and way beyond my sleep time but when you decide to do something then you do it. For past few months I am having regular headaches in the evening, I believe that my cervical or sinus could be the obvious reasons. Since I have started to paint I have developed some sort of allergy with paints and I am unable to use my sense of smell properly. So today I thought I should take some steam and green tea. However, I was in no mood of having something as flat as green tea so I got an idea of adding a bit of coffee with tea and honey.   If at any point in your life you decide to take green tea with coffee, then my only advice to you is to be brave because you would taste the strangest of beverage. Nevertheless, it comforted my sinus and satisfied the need to have a different taste. There are moments in life when nothing seems to work and you become shaky in your prayers and faith but this is the time when we need to really go with the flow of life. I...

Children

Yesterday we had to drop by our mechanic for a quick car check-up, the garage is adjacent to a Preschool/ Montessori, and I am always more than eager to visit there with the sole motive of meeting little babies. The lady who is the Principal at the school is my Mom’s patient so we are always welcome there.                 While the car was checked I was sitting in the school premises, within few minutes the school got off and I was surrounded by at least 100 little children. It felt as if I am sitting in a beautiful rose garden, except today the roses were smiling and playing with their little school bags.               There was a little girl I guess around five and she was giving me constant smiles. After a while she came to me and asked who I am and what am I doing in her school. Then she abruptly, without any hesitation, asked me to give her some m...

Its all good!

Finally, finally I am here! I feel so happy to have the time to come and talk to you all. It was so disturbing that I was unable to be on the blog, it almost felt as if I could not breath.  Since we had a little bit of paint at home everything got upside down. There is one chore after another, day ends but the work does not. Although we did not do any major changes but once you get to cleaning so much comes out. By the time I got some free moments I was so exhausted that even looking at the computer tired me.    Today I thought come what may but I shall write. Blogging is one of the most comforting activities for me because it relaxes my mind. It is my outlet to say whatever I wish and if I have something positive to share then its all good.   It is a blessing to be with all of you who have stood by me for four years now. Yup I started this blog on December 2008 and it has been wonderful journey. Yesterday for some strange reason I stopped at ...
