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...

DAY HUNDREDTH

Its feel great to be back after a gap, back to the roots and back to the basics. I cannot believe that we have completed 100 days of our blog and I cannot but be humbled and thank all of my friends who have given me their unconditional support and love and I pray that our journey continues further ahead in love, peace and joy.
When I began this blog I never could have imagined that I would be able to go on for such a long period of time but here we are.

Dark clouds, rainy breeze and drizzles what more one could desire for; rains have a special place in the hearts of us South Asians because this is the time when we get refuge from scorching heat of sun, where our fields get watered, our crops blossoms and livelihoods are earned.

Past few days have been active and exhaustive and proactive, and I have come to realize that whenever we are afraid of something and when that something happens to us the threshold of fear gets crossed and then suddenly some strange sense of calm and serenity emerges and we come to peace with ourselves. Fear is always of the unknown and when that unknown becomes known we are just not afraid anymore. Fear and wanting I must say are the dilemmas of humanity today.

Trying to make things right for everyone involved is a fruitless exercise something somewhere will be left out yet every effort should be made to oversee that the damage is minimal. I too in order to get few things right or just might have taken some indispensable steps and my behaviour to some must have been unintelligible but unfortunately there are times in our lives when we are required to make difficult choices keeping the present moment in perspective rather than the past.

Well night is pressing on and so is the need to sleep, good night and sweet dreams-loved ones.

Sonya. (Day 100)

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...
