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...

A tip for living…


Five cardinal principles to heal and be healed for a lifetime….


FOR TODAY I WILL NOT WORRY.

FOR TODAY I WILL NOT BE ANGRY.

FOR TODAY I WILL BE HONEST.

FOR TODAY I WILL COUNT MY BLESSINGS.

FOR TODAY I WILL SHOW LOVE AND RESPECT TO EVERY LIVING BEING..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each day is a lifetime in miniature!

To awaken every morning is be born again,  

To fall asleep at night is to die to the day.

In between waking and sleeping are the golden hours of the day.

What we think we cannot do for lifetime, We can do for day time .

Anyone can strive to be happy for a day and to spread happiness around. 

Anyone can rise above fear for a day and meet each situation with courage.

Anyone can hold his temper for a day and gurad the words he speaks.

Anyone can remain honest for a day and carry his burden heroically.

Anyone can count his blessing for a day

Deciding, not to look at half-empty but at half-filled glass.

Anyone can avoid hate and cruelty for a day deciding to live and let live.

Live a day at a time and remember that tomorrow is another day!


I was reading a book on reiki and there I found these five principles along with this beautiful poem and decided to share them with everyone.

These principles were given by Dr. Mikaomi Usui of Japan who rediscovered Reiki, so both the healers and patients could integrate them in their lives. If both of them couldn’t follow any of these principles the healing given or received will become ineffective.

Not only in healing but I believe that in every aspect of our lives if we could try to live by these 5 principles, also professed by all religions, then the pain and suffering we consciously or unconsciously inflict on our selves and others could be lessened greatly.

In love and peace..

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...

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...
