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...

Lets talk

These days in Pakistan we are bombarded with news, on one side there is a huge debate about the Judicial Commission that has been created to analyze the elections rigging of 2013; on the other end there is a run for election of a particular seat in Karachi and then there is the unfortunate Yemen- Saudia war. Honestly, the last subject is far more painful to witness.  Today Muslims are one of the most humiliated population in the world. Our greed, moral and financial corruption has reached new heights, it has expanded so much that we have conveniently accepted it as the norm of life. Probably that is the reason that no amount of money suffice our needs today, we are always struggling for more and when we achieve more- we again start the process of acquiring more and more. Time has lost its vastness, years have become months, months have changed into days and days have turned into minutes. I mean just take a good look at our lives, our finances, our relationships- th...

23rd March 2015

Once upon a time not long ago there lived great men and women, they lived in unity and with a dream. A dream which they all nourished with their soul and blood– a dream of dignity, of peace, of solidarity, of equality, of prosperity, of security and above all a dream to live in their own little world- a world where everyone is respected, irrespective of their caste, culture or creed; a world where everyone is allowed to pray the way they chose and a world where justice prevails. Pakistan gained independence from British Rule on August 14, 1947. Nine years after Pakistan’s creation, the first constitution was implemented on March 23 rd , 1956. March 23 rd was initially meant to celebrate the adoption of the country’s first constitution and its transformation as a republic. Later, the 1956 Constitution was annulled in 1958 and March 23 rd became a day to commemorate the Lahore Resolution of 1940, which eventually led to the creation of Pakistan. In the year 1940 Mu...

Dark is beautiful!

Happy International Women's Day! Let’s celebrate this day together, let’s talk about women and their status in 21 st century. A celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. What could be better than sharing my thoughts and inviting your input on women of 2015. We might have become pilots, engineers, doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs and above all the loving homemaker wife who gives most of her life in raising her kids, taking care of her home and family. Yet we have lost the battle with our self. The battle where we constantly fight to change our skin color, and the battle which sadly, sometimes is inflicted on us by other women.  Hadiqa Kiyani   Beren Saat Kim Kardashian Sonam Kapoor Deepika Padukone   Kajol Madonna   Katrina Kaif Priyanka Chopra Eva Longoria Karisma Kapoor Aishwarya Rai Bach...
