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...

He's Just Not That Into You!

I had to, I have no option. At first I thought it was a topic that I should not mention on the blog; nonetheless, this matter has taken a significant turn and I believe it is appropriate to share this information, so we can save a lot of time and energy. Few months ago, I met a wonderful lady who was working at a nice place and apparently it seemed that she knows her way in this world. Few days later she suddenly took off from work and vanished. Few days later, upon her return we met but she was a different person. She was hurt and badly injured emotionally. When I asked her as to what happened?  She cried her heart out, and informed me that she was in a relationship with a particular person and after years of courtship, this guy out of the blue, abruptly decided to take a detour and married another lady. Today, even after passing of 3- 4 months she has not recovered from her emotional pain but mostly from the trauma of being rejected for no apparent reason. Unfort...

November... with all its beauty

November is quite a special month for me, not for any personal reasons but more for its subtle beauty. How am I to express it in words because there are no words to describe it. November brings with it not only semi-chilled breezes but magnificent evenings. Yesterday on my way home I was enchanted, mesmerized by the beauty of the evening. This painting perfectly depicts the beauty of atmosphere. Streets radiating with orange and red hued reflections of road lamps and passing cars. It was neither dark nor sunny but somewhere in between. Slightly chilled winds. Fragrance of air was all over. And all we await was a little drizzle. I believe this was the most amazing evening I have experienced in a long time but it was worth the wait. Sometimes waiting pays off. Sometimes waiting for beautiful things is absolutely worth the wait. Sometimes waiting for the right moment is the right action. Sometimes waiting for the right opportunity pays off. At times w...

Life, as it is…

It is so easy to preach spirituality while you are sitting in the comforts of seclusion when there are no challenges to face, no obstacles to overcome, no goals to achieve and no deadlines to meet. However, when you truly enter this world it presents fair amount of challenges. It is this world and the people you meet in your daily life are the ones who challenge your basic education of spirituality, love and forgiveness. And honestly even someone like me who deeply believes in peace can some time lose her peace loving stance. But then that is the real test of our spiritual teachings, it is in those unloving moments that the strength of our spiritual musculature is truly tested. Recently I started my dedicated practice of daily meditation, it is a very simple practice that hardly takes 5-6 minutes of my time. The main aim of meditation is to quiet the mind so that peace can come forth. The first day was great. I was joyous and in the moment, everything was just perf...
