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...

Treasure

Few years ago if someone asked me about my future, I would have given him/her a well-thought reply, of course, I will be a great lawyer. And today all my plans and outlook on life has altered dramatically, I have turned into a person I have never thought that I would ever be. Teaching is not a simple job; it has so much more to it. Teaching, is a powerful exchange of tremendously vibrant energy. Everyone who is sincerely involved in this process is automatically blessed with love and light.

Beautiful souls

Karachi, Rangers, APS, so much is going on these days that it’s almost crazy. A year gone by, yet the wounds are still fresh, the pain is still there and the hearts are still heavy. Beautiful souls were taken away from their loved ones and this world would never be the same again. We all go back to our lives and it appears that its business as usual but no- it is never going to be as usual. It is only our inherent coping mechanism giving us strength to move on. The courage and resilience which the surviving students, teachers and staff of APS showed is tremendous. I really appreciate their decision of refusing to have a holiday on 16 th December. My love and prayers for all of them. And in the loving memory of the departed Beautiful Souls… million prayers Sonya Syed. (Day 551)
