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...

New Year Resolution…


Every where I turned I kept on hearing about new year resolutions, some focused on loosing weight some were dedicated to leave unhealthy habits and so on. Last year I also made some resolutions which I don’t remember anymore, but I know that I did have something like resolutions.

So this year I made a resolution of not making any resolution, all I intend to do in 2012 is to stay intensely present in the Now, the present moment.

I decided that this year I will not carry the baggage of any painful thought or emotion from my past, nor I will drive my self crazy by worrying unnecessarily about the future.

I will stay in the present moment because past has no power over me anymore and our future is merely an extension of our present moment.

And I have to say, that this idea of staying in the Now is also appreciated by God because on the first day of 2012 I was blessed with an anointed opportunity to make peace and reconcile with someone with whom I have been estranged with few years ago. This person is one of the people I respect like my elders.

Although I was dreaming about dissolving this rift since August 2011 but I really could not understand the meaning behind my dreams yet I felt that it was the time to break the ice. However, before making any move I wanted to be absolutely sure that this was just not my own wish/worry thinking or some hidden agendas which I might have.

So while I was sitting quietly on New Year’s morning focusing on my breathing trying to meditate, images of this particular person began to emerge vigorously. I talked to my Mom about all this and the push she gave me was all I needed.

A little nervous I called and what I found out on making that call was everybody there also wanted to contact me as much as I did.

To my surprise I am feeling very lite since I called, as if a big burden has been lifted off my shoulders. This means that there was really something which needed to be settled and I am so thankful to God, that He made it all so easy for me. 

If I have carried this burden with me believing that it was nothing important, then I could have developed a Blind Spot in my soul which might have changed into some physical illness.

This is the case with Blind Spots, they are the dark areas which we conveniently bury in our mind. When we have either suffered from pain or have made someone else suffer and if we don’t accept, surrender, forgive ourselves and others then this hidden dark area or Blind Spot will turn into cancer or some other deadly disease.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean that you ignore the pain or trauma, rather you fully accept that its there But decide not to let it affect you anymore. You allow the problem to go into God’s hand without any resistance, and pray that the situation be peacefully healed for all involved.

This year my friends may we all heal our souls..…

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...
