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...

Following my Gut Feeling

Voilà! 50th DAY, MashaAllah, Golden Jubilee of our Blog……

I have learned something quite interesting today. I decided to go somewhere but instinctively I was 85% uncertain, so I prayed to get to some direction. As I called-up to confirm the timing the person on the other side changed the time from what was agreed upon earlier. As soon as I heard that I immediately cancelled the entire plan. At first, I wasn’t pleased with the change but then within few minutes I recognized that this is my answer, my direction. So if after deciding to do something or to meet someone or anything else simply observe carefully for all the little signs. If all goes smoothly and movement from point A to B and from B to Z is effortless and natural then you are on the right track, don’t look back just keep on walking. Of course, I could have easily bullied with my instincts but after knowing a little bit I don’t think it is wise on my part to interfere with the God’s procedure. Oh no, not me Sir.

If what you desire is also beneficial for you then roads will be made where they weren’t before, oceans will part so you could walk through. It is wise to pay attention to your own inner-most, deep, subtle yet constant voice or intuitive feeling rather what the world is telling you.

Ages ago I wanted to send one of my client-cum-acquaintance, a bill for my legal advise but people closed to me almost pressurized me not to do that because that might jeopardize our terms with the client-cum-acquaintance. They preferred to leave the bill payment matter on his/her conscience; although I was not at all comfortable with the idea. Of course that payment was never made and when we did send the bill but it was too little too late. Only if I had listened to my instincts and not the suggestion of my loved ones, after all the person who is actually dealing with the matter was me, the vibes I could get no one else can experience them.

Apprehension is inevitable before any decision but what is significant is to carefully listen to the gut feeling i.e. the heart and mind or to put neurologically the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere.

Well enough of this and now I like would to share with all of you the pictures of my Mom’s trees and plants, she works really hard to beautify and nurture them; and they definitely need some international recognition. By the way, Yours truly is the photographer.









With my love…….

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...
