Eid Mubarak!

Eid Mubarak to all my dear friends, to my family and to this beautiful extended family of our blog. May this Eid brings to all of us the joy, health, peace & abundance.

I am absolutely gracious to the Almighty, so proud of myself and thankful for the love which all of you have given me, as today it has been almost a year since I began this blog. In all these days I received nothing but your affections, and I hope that the bond which all of us developed via this medium continues to grow and prosper. Amen!

So much happened in this one year, most of it has been wonderful and some of it not so wonderful; nevertheless, I am grateful for all the blessings, for those beautiful experiences, for meeting some of the most incredible people, and for not being able to meet some of the other incredible individuals; I am extremely humbled and grateful for my journey and for becoming a person which I am today. Though I am not a nostalgic person yet in this moment I am able to experience an entire lifetime and I have this strong urge to reflect. But then my experiences are only worth to my mind, they might not be of any significance to any of you besides it would not be fair on my part to overshadow your day with my insights.

All I can do is to smile in my mind and to leave everything just as it is, untouched. There are such moments in life which should not be analyzed or anatomized hence what they merely need is nothing more than the desire to just let them be.

Too overwhelmed to express any more, so I say my Good Night to you all…

In my deepest love…

Sonya. (Day 150)

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...
