Misperceptions

For some strange reason I am unable enjoy the retirement which Sundays bring into our lives. On this particular day of the week I find myself surrounded with the feelings of lethargy and boredom, no TV show, nothing appears to be interesting and it all feels dull.

Life is thankfully getting into routine and discipline and there is something wonderful about waking up early morning. Spirit, mind and body are in perfect harmony at dawn; the day begins early in the quietude and transitory time when the ultimate darkness of night is leading the way for the brightness of sun and is beckoning for a new day. Probably this is why these early hours harmonise and resonates most with the human nature because regardless of the darkness of any time there shall be always light, giving way to the brightness of hope and new beginnings which shall inevitably follow through.

There are quite a few things that I would like to talk about but where and how to start is somehow puzzling. There have been some new readers to our blog and I heartily welcome them on behalf of all of us here. I have recently received some messages criticizing the content of the blog which mostly involved my speaking so bluntly about my personal life and the observations which I make about life in general.

I started this blog with the desire to express myself, share a thing or two which I have learned from my personal experiences and to take off my social mask. We enter our adult life believing that if we reveal our true self to people in general then they would take advantage of us or think of us as weak or vulnerable, so we acquire the modus operandi of putting on a mask behind which we think that we are able to hide our true self. As the time passes the layers of mask increases and then one day we find out that we have completely lost touch with who we really are and in all this fruitless exercise we have lost our authentic selves.
Thus I decided to go against this social masking norm of alleged self-protection and surrendered myself entirely to God’s protection and the result is nonetheless surprising. Instead of feeling vulnerable and afraid I now feel strong and protected, since I am now guided by the Highest Power of All I am also guided of how to behave and act in any given situation. And if at any time I behave unpleasantly then please note that it is not due to misguidance but my loosing of the Great connection.

In a nutshell the content of this blog is not to please or displease anybody, its neutral and please do not ever believe that whatever I have written or would write in the future is done with putting up a brave and happy face for the world and please do not believe that from inside I am depressed or melancholic. If at any given day I might feel down I shall be talking about it openly and that there is nothing to read between the lines. I must confess that I don’t write about everything which happens in my life however whatever I write is the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.

I have been so engrossed in talking with all of you that I didn’t listen to midnight arriving and it seems it has arrived suddenly without any footsteps.
 
I love you all…

Sonya. (Day 107)

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...

Magic or Miracles..continued

"Sadia Saleem   Another good one...ur blogs have always uplifted my spirits in some way, but this one being totally different gives us a small grasp at just how powerful our Almighty is...our praises are just a measurement of our faith in Him and our worships are a manifestation of that measurement...ur blog actually took me in d flashbacks and I remembered when we actually landed up at a babas astana for d sake of fun...at times those carefree days are deeply missed       keep up the best work    " This one is especially for my best friend Sadia who has always shown me her love, appreciation and encouragement. And of course, how can I forget all of you for always blessing me with your affections. Sadia and all of my Dear Readers, I thank you so much from my heart for responding so beautifully for my post “Miracles & Magic? I wonder…” . AND Thank You Allah for  this  amazing opportunity to write this blog. It is so true that how ...
