Musings


Missed missed two days of the blog and the kind of guilt pangs I get are inexplicable. What to do when choices are need to be made between rest and my favorite activity, the blog. I had to see the bigger picture so I decided to make some choices, hence rest prevailed.

After clinging on to my clothes for some time now, both old and new ones, I have finally cleared up almost 75% of my wardrobe with another 10% due. I could not believe how much lighter and joyous I feel. I have been stocking some clothes since college years, the ones which promised durability and wear-ability. Now all I am left with are few modest belongings in my closet, and it feels superb!

Early morning after having breakfast I was sitting in my balcony enjoying the sun and a phenomenal weather and absorbing vitamin D or whatever it is suppose to give; relaxing and thinking that it is a perfect time to go to the beach. Alas, not every wish is to be fulfilled.

I had a person in my mind and I was trying to analyze her personality. I was criticizing and judging this person; then I suddenly realized that this entire conversation which I am having in my mind, is absolutely unwarranted and so much of my energy is wasted.

During those moments of musing, a flash of insight gushed within; I guess that was God saying, “Sonya you waste so much of your time in thinking of such futile things. The person you are analyzing is no business of yours; she is not to be a concern for you. From now on, only think of people and situations which are positive and productive for your growth. Get up! roll your sleeves and get down to business.

He said, "Dear I love you but honestly you are a lazy lass. You have covered up yourself in the blanket of internality that you have forgotten about the world and its requisites. You have hidden yourself in your comfort zone that now returning to life, your life is not easy for you”.

I replied to God, “I don’t want to go through the intricacies of life. I am at peace, and content with whatever I have now and who ever I am today.”

Then God spoke again, “I understand your reservations about the world. Nevertheless, my Dear, my people are not supposed to be languid rather they are meant to be courageous and proactive. You don’t have to do anything, just have the Intention and I will take care of the rest for you.”

I explained to God, “I cannot bear the wordly anguish anymore.

And God said, “Fear not thou world my dearest, for ‘tis merely an illusion created by Me.
Hold My Hand and let Me walk you through your life. The road might be bumpy, but dear, always remember that your Journey is in My Hands.”

So in my faith I hold Your hand Lord and take a step………

Sonya. (Day 178)

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.
