Monday blues

11 pm and I am done with all daily chores, nothing is left and now this post is finally that last touch before I go to the comforts of sleep. Everyone at home especially the kids-cum-cousins were bored to extreme heights, nobody had anything to do and then there is Monday. So all of us went through monday-sickness or Monday-blues together. In my curiosity and to get the right concept I googled Monday-sickness and hundred results appeared. Then I realized we are not the only ones suffering from it but there are many people who share the same sentiments.

In Monday-sickness people mostly suffer from muscular pains or viral infection on mondays and it is actually when we enjoy and relax on our weekends too much that we begin to realize that we have to start our week all over again. The feeling of enjoyment, fun and relaxation on weekends often stays with us when Monday comes which later turns into lethargy or boredom.

There were researches done by leading universities which included review of the sickness management records in private sector. The study revealed that 35% of all sick leaves are taken on Mondays, with attendance on the remaining working days becoming higher as the week progresses.

We don’t even realize that beneath our caste, religion, creed or nationality we are all same. That these are mere facades which we have created ourselves; yet deep down our emotions, hopes, fears, and wishes are alike. Someone living in Australia or Timbuktu or Karachi has the same core; although it can be easily blurred by our mind-made illusions of ourselves.

When we as human forget who we are in reality we tend to create borders, distinctions and differences. It occurred to me that the next time when I say that I have nothing in common with someone then I must think again- because probably 3 years or 50 years from now both of us will be rotten corpses, nevertheless; both of our spirits pure beautiful and timeless shall continue live till eternity.

On that note, I take your leave dearest ones….Good Night…

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. And of course, how can I forget all of you for always blessing me with your affections. Sadia and all of my Dear Readers, I thank you so much from my heart for responding so beautifully for my post “Miracles & Magic? I wonder…” .
