Eid Mubarak

I wish all of you a warm and loving Eid Mubarak and I pray that this auspicious day may bring love, peace & joy in the lives of all.

 
   There was almost pin drop silence on the Eid Day with minimum of movement in the vicinity. Now on the second day of Eid we finally have some activity on the streets and it feels more like a festival.
I have to say that this has been by far one of the most beautiful and pleasant Eid I have ever experienced. The weather was simply breathtaking- it was sunny and warm during the day and exceptionally cloudy in the late afternoon, the winds were soft yet heavy with shrubbery blossoming everywhere; and the energy felt in the entire atmosphere was absolutely magnificent.
 
   It is quite amazing to notice as to how swiftly the days are passing by; or is it that we are increasingly becoming busy and engrossed with our minds and its constant thinking or chatter which has placed us in a trance-like state, hence we could not be aware or present enough to realize the beginnings and end of our days. This mental activity could be observed during Salah (or Muslim prayers) where we would say the entire Salah and won’t even remember what we recited throughout or how we got to the end of the prayer, expect of few glimpses.
I guess we must at times step outside the craziness of our lives and observe it as a bystander; we might actually get some insights.
 
On that note I take your leave dearest ones- love yourself and love everyone around you….

Sonya. (Day122)

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 ...
