Day 160

Thoroughly enjoyed the long, long weekend but on the 4th day it became boring and lazy and I started to miss my routine life; so much for the ungrateful human who is never happy under any circumstance. When I didn’t get a break I would beg and pray for one and when I get one, it is boring.

It has been pretty cold in Karachi especially when none of us is ever prepared for those extra chilly winds. However, it is always wise to make the most of everything, to fully  live every bit of any season. Although on certain occasions it becomes unbearable to completely live in some moments due to the extreme emotions or the pain they inflict on us. Yet we are left there to either fight or flight since flying is not usually an option so we have to choose the fighting.

Life is coming into some kind of focus and I’m taking baby steps into the unknown, small leaps into the future with my faith. Yet the jerks of fear are inevitable, it is strange that the moment we believe that we have outdone our fear it gets us from an entirely new area; and once again we are left struggling with it with our meager and futile strengths.

I have been really trying hard to complete a book these days, I had it with me for couple of months however I could not gather the concentration to grasp it. And now when I have made a commitment to read it I found out that being self-help book it requires me to do a ton of exercises which is an extensive task so my blog’s post suffer because the extra time I get from my daily chores I spend it with the book, a highlighter, a pen and my journal. So I am extremely sorry for not able to being able to a regular, nevertheless; I shall try my best to be consistent.

So dearest friends be healthy & hearty……

My love to you all…………

Sonya. (Day 160)

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...
