Busy–ness & Expediency vs. Love

I apprehend that I might have somehow gave an impression of being very busy lately as I am most of the time inactive on facebook and lazy with other modes of communication but the truth of the matter is that I try my best to keep myself active. Busy as well as being creative and productive with our time I think is a sheer blessing, therefore my day routine is almost moving from one quarter of an hour to another with many chores and at the end of it all when I sit in front of this 14’’ screen and put my heart out to all of you is the most wonderful climax I could imagine to my day.

Although I was also busy in the past; nevertheless, it was only to meet my own requirements and lift the burden of regular life. Life could become a miracle with magnificent outcomes when you surrender it to the Higher Power and let Him navigate every moment, hour and day.

This is what happens to me when I am tired, I speak of things which have significance for me only and I overlook the fact that all of you are there as well; hence I could only but apologize for my conduct.

Sometimes the society and its norm; or our own ego create hindrances for us to be sympathetic and concerned and we forgo the laws logic and rationality; or our stance in any situation makes us rigid to the extent of being callous and our expediency takes over our compassion. And if all this is accompanied by the fear- fear of rejection, fear of rebuff then what a misery life turns into.

We need to ask ourselves- do we prefer to be right or do we prefer to be happy…

Night presses on so as the need to move towards the comfort of duvet.

Lots of love & more……………

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...
