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...

Ladies you need to check this budding makeup artist, she is a true professional.   Do take a look of her work on facebook and book your appointments.

Do keep me posted if you want to know more. Who ...

Birth Day

If I see through the years that I have lived I cannot but be extremely grateful to Allah for the wonderful life which HE has blessed me with MashaAllah. Yesterday another year passed from my birth chart and I feel that I have been just born. The blessings I have been given are beyond any expression, the love, the respect, my education, my loving and supportive relationships and of course the friendship of my beautiful friends.      For the first time in many years, yesterday I had the most amazing birthday. There was a certain quite peace inside that couldn’t be named but only felt. The family and friends showered me with the most exceptional prayers, gifts and blessings and I feel fortunate to be able to experience all this.   On the other hand, life has also taught me many important lessons. Most importantly, to value what is worth valuing and to let go what becomes a burden to the soul. Although this letting go is no easy task but sometimes we need to ma...
