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...

There is God!

After that extra long wait they informed me that the device I require is out of stock and I have the option of purchasing another version costing almost double. Although a bit upset with their behaviour I decided not to say anything especially not to create any scene there. I was continuously te...

NA -126

It is so amazing to experience that some fresh air and an extra-strong cup of coffee can change your entire perspective on life. Today the spirit of boredom got into me, I was a bit uneasy throughout the day but as the evening approached, I was seriously bored.  So we went out to have some coffee and oh boy, it worked like a charm. These are the million little luxuries that we can indulge into, they rejuvenate us and gives us the necessary boost to continue with life.          Once I heard Julia Roberts’ interview where she said, ‘it is such a luxury that I have time to read a book’.   Initially I was unable to comprehend the depth of this statement but still it struck me. There are many people around us who live from one pay check to another and there are many ladies who work almost 24/7 at home taking care of family and also looking after their house with no domestic help. In the midst of all this, if one could have even lit...
