My Two Cents

Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase.   It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions.  This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...

Comeback

This is one of the strangest title I have ever given to my posts, but its true. I have made a comeback on the blog, it has been almost a month since I wrote my last post. Although the phrase “comeback” is far suitable for people like Madhuri Dixit who actually make comeback and everyone is just dying to have a glimpse of her.

Since this is my kingdom so I can be Madhuri, Angelina Jolie or even Queen of Wales whatever I choose to be and all of you my loving friends would love me, in all that I am.

This past month has been full of surprises and acceptances. Of course, there are moments of dullness but mostly life hasn’t been less than an adventure.

For so many years I lived with my stubborn mindset, I believed that I know it all. I thought that I have decided what I want and need to do – I have fixed plans. Yet these last few weeks have changed entire way of my thinking. I was in complete denial of few realities; I believed them to be merely a figment of my mind, my imagination but no- they are as true and as real as this moon and night are.

Actually I was afraid to believe in the unseen, to trust my instincts. I was desperately trying to justify and analyze things. Being a lawyer that I am I needed to surety and security and above all I needed proofs; and when I accepted things as they are; immense peace and joy emerged. I can’t thank enough my mother and my teacher Dr. Mah Jabeen who not only patiently listened to my mind’s wandering but also gave me the best advice.
Although I haven’t received any proofs or verifications yet I have now found my peace and faith.

Now on the professional side and this is where the surprise part comes in; couple of new projects are under consideration. Although I have just received a confirmation for one of them from my very special source; however, before I get wildly excited I would like to see it in black and white- again speaks the logical lawyer.

There is also betterment on my cervical pain and this pain was one of the reasons to avoid using computer for long hours. If I get down to writing, it takes straight 1-2 hours and my poor neck has to suffer the consequences.

Wish all of you all the health and wealth…have a great weekend.

With my love…

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...
