Day 52

Sham is far more dazzling than authenticity. Shah Rukh Khan was once asked about the on-camera chemistry he shares with Kajol when they are only good friends while the same chemistry lacks in Kajol-Ajay duo who are a real life couple. He replied simply that, camera is incapable of capturing the truth but what it could capture is pure acting. People like camera are only able to see the allure of pretence, alas!

There are those who love a good mystery and if there isn’t any they would happily create one. Playing around with ideas, concocting stories and characters; a mere notion then transforms itself into a distorted fact, a fictional reality that would ultimately convulse the truth.

But what about genuine mysteries, the unknown workings of some phenomena should we try to solve them or let them be just the way they are, unsolved. Earlier there used to be an urge in me to know everything, to have answers; however, now I don’t allow myself to find or know everything. Through our efforts and intellect we might reach some conclusions but are we confident that what we found out is the truth.

Busy day is always valuable, rushing to meet deadlines always provide the human body with optimum energy or adrenaline to manage all tasks that otherwise on a less busy day are left out due to lethargy.

Yesterday, after a long time we went out for a quite family dinner and had a great evening and by the time we reached home we were rather tired and called it an early night, thus the delayed post.

In love & fondness………

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...

3 January 2019

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...

The Telecom Bill That Slipped Through While Pakistan Looked Elsewhere

While we were all mourning the petrol price hikes and drowning in the chaos of inflation, IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja quietly tabled the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) (Amendment) Bill 2026. Most of us didn't even notice. The bill amended the 1996 Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-Organization) Act. It redefined certain terms and replaced Section 27A on Right of Way with a new Section 27B. What sounds like routine legislative work is anything but ordinary. This bill grants state-backed authorization to telecom companies to take over any private property or land and install 5G infrastructure including mobile towers and fiber-optic networks wherever they please. No consent required. No negotiation. Just entry and installation. The astonishing reality is that this draconian bill which grossly violates the fundamental rights of Pakistanis was approved by majority vote in the National Assembly on June 11, 2026. Not a single member objected. Nobody raised their voic...
