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...

Love, light, faith.....

The mind today is not where it should be. Many images, thoughts are randomly showing up on the screen of the mind and the more I am trying to run away from them, the more intensely they are emerging. The reason for such intensity is unknown to me but it seems as if something is trying to manifest from the domain of my thoughts into realm of my reality.                 Yes sometimes the unknown becomes known and the unfamiliar suddenly becomes familiar. The faces which were once seemed to be far and unreachable are now coming close and becoming reachable, and the illusion of time and space is lessening.          What do you do now, should you wait for the nature to takes its course or should you do anything? Should you move or should you stop? Should you speak or should you withhold?  But then you do not need words to express because the soul h...

Lawn and more lawn

I am seriously getting scared now it is giving me goose bumps and also a bit drowsiness in the head. Before beginning I’ll tell you that I love to create/ design dresses, I have inherited this trait from my youngest Phuppi (my father’s youngest sister) Tabussum Aunty. Although I don’t make too many clothes but I like to form their images in my mind. Whenever I couldn’t sleep at night or simply get bored I would take up my sketch book and draw dress designs, I choose colours and so on. And most of the time I would just make a perfect suit in my mind. At times when I am free and just want freshen up I would surf net for latest western trends or classic styles from 1930’s, all done randomly.  So day before yesterday in my mind I saw myself in an orange dress. I liked the bright orange hue so I just started to play with that image in mind. Today few moments ago as I opened my facebook page I saw an orange dress exactly as I imagined it two days ago by one of my favour...

Joy

Every human being on the planet wants to be happy. Anything that anyone desires is because they think their desire will make them happy. Whether it is health, money, a loving relationship, material things, accomplishments, a job, or anything at all, the desire for happiness is the bottom line of all of them.  But remember that happiness is a state inside of us, and something on the outside can only bring fleeting happiness, because material things are impermanent. Permanent happiness comes from you choosing to be permanently happy. When you choose happiness, then you attract all the happy things as well. The happy things are the icing on the cake, but the cake is happiness. By Rhonda Byrne- Creator of ‘The Secret’ If we think about it, it is so true that the bottom line of all our hard work, our efforts or anything that we toil for is ultimately, to be Happy. We spend most of our lives praying for different things and people to come to us when the only motiv...

First light

Before starting today’s post I need to thank you all for the amazing response which you gave for my earlier post ‘Acupressure for Beginners’. I am glad that I cleared out many things about this great form of healing and it really means a lot to me that I could be of any help.  Thank you so much for all your love and appreciation, it is only because of your encouragement and support that I am able to continue writing this blog. Do write to me, give your suggestions and feel free to leave your comments at the end of the post, I always love your input.  Ok now, woke up at 6 am- did breakfast almost like a sleepy robot only to find out that my morning class has been postponed due to a conference at the University.   So now, I am here with an entire day at my disposal. When I was in school and if any surprise holiday happened like today, then that used to be the happiest day of my life.  Today when I am at the other side of track, it is not that fun. As...
