Friends, TV & a Book



It is so wonderful to have the time to meet friends, to talk to share. This is what I have done today, I had the opportunity to have a tete a tete with my reiki master who is my Acupressure teacher and a dear friend.  Although it was not a very long session of our chit-chat but whatever time was there we utilized it to the optimum.

You can’t have too many friends, there are some with whom you share one aspect of life and there are others with whom you talk about different array of things. With my reiki master Dr. Mahjabeen Bhaiji I always talk about spiritual stuff which I normally abstain from discussing with my mom and other friends, simply because they reach a threshold where they have difficulty in digesting my wanderings. Although everyone is extremely patient and supporting to my ideas but it is better not to test them beyond a certain measure.

In few minutes I have to complete this post and watch the TV serial “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma” a comedy serial on Sab TV at 8 pm. It is story about a group of people living in certain apartments, the lead characters are the Gujrati couple Jetha Lal and Daya and I must say that it’s a breath of fresh air in the stressful times like these. To be able to laugh for half an hour really relieves the daily fatigue. If you are into comedies then do watch it and have a good laugh.

If you remember I have talked about reading a new book “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne, famous writer of the Secret. 22 days into doing its exercises and I am on another level of my being, if you haven’t bought it then do get a copy of it- I highly recommend.

I apologize for this brief post but promise to get back to you soon. InshaAllah..

Have a great time…

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...

The Telecom Bill That Slipped Through While Pakistan Looked Elsewhere

While we were all mourning the petrol price hikes and drowning in the chaos of inflation, IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja quietly tabled the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) (Amendment) Bill 2026. Most of us didn't even notice. The bill amended the 1996 Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-Organization) Act. It redefined certain terms and replaced Section 27A on Right of Way with a new Section 27B. What sounds like routine legislative work is anything but ordinary. This bill grants state-backed authorization to telecom companies to take over any private property or land and install 5G infrastructure including mobile towers and fiber-optic networks wherever they please. No consent required. No negotiation. Just entry and installation. The astonishing reality is that this draconian bill which grossly violates the fundamental rights of Pakistanis was approved by majority vote in the National Assembly on June 11, 2026. Not a single member objected. Nobody raised their voic...
