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...

Faithland

Once upon a time long-long ago in the kingdom of Faithland there lived great Kings and Queens by the names of ‘Peace, Justice, Honesty & Sincerity’. Under their rule the citizens of Faithland lived a life full of happiness and joy. They had plenty of food to feed every single person of their country; everyone had enough money to live their best life; and they all lived in the most protective environment. Until… Until there came four strangers in Faithland ‘Lie, Deceit, Opportunist & Greed'. .As soon as they entered the threshold of Faithland they started to conspire against the great Kings and Queens of Faithland; a brutal war broke within, killing many leaving few. People of Faithland decided that the only way to live safely is to allow Lie, Deceit, Opportunist& Greed to be nominated as the permanent rulers of their country. However, with this decision of the citizens began the doom of ‘Faithland’. The life of happiness and joy changed to life o...

To Whom it May Concern

‘ It was a cowardly attack, we will punish so and so’ ‘ The incident is deeply regretted, I share my deepest condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones ” ‘ I condemn terrorist attacks ’ One of the major job done, issued press statements. Now lets go back to our normal lives, its business as usual. Few days passed and everyone will forget and move on, news channels will stop reporting as the news is no more vibrant or raising TRPs. No more blood, no more crying or screaming women, no more dead bodies. No action, No precaution, No special task forces, No accident management, No protection. And we all wait anxiously for another attack, for another suicide bombing. Alas... the cycle continues. Nobody is bothered and we are all at the mercy of terrorists. We are safe not because we have perfect protection but we are safe only because terrorist have not targeted us as yet. Army Public School’s incidents and earlier similar attacks are the dar...

Naya Pakistan 2..

Deeply saddened and in severe pain to see the dreaded attack on a school in Peshawar, killing more than 80 school children and injuring many. Yesterday I wrote about hope, peace & prosperity in Pakistan and today witnessed such brutality. No words, no comments….just pain and sorrow. May Allah give peace to all innocent departed souls, May Allah bless their loved ones with patience and serenity, May Allah heal the injured, May Allah show His Mercy to all of us. This world is our temporary abode; there is a time for all of us to leave, sooner or later. Such incidents are a wake-up call for all of us, making us realize the impermanent nature of our lives so we can make the best use of the time given to us, so we can become a blessing for everyone around us, so we can do good, so we can be just and fair in all dealings. Amen. With all my prayers. Sonya Syed. (Day 505)
