My Deepest Gratitude To You All



It is not my routine to write in the evenings however I must say that today is one those beautiful and serene evenings which inspires you. The weather is simply perfect with cold breezes and I don’t have the words to describe the effect which evening sunlight is having on me. There is something different about today- it seems as the colour of flowers, of sky and everything is different; more vibrant more alive. I feel to have today a different pair of eyes, the sounds, the smells in the air and the taste food is bursting with flavours.

What has happened to me I do not know but I pray that it remains like this forever. I want to deeply thank all of you for being such wonderful readers of this blog, for remembering me in your prayers and always giving me your love and appreciation which are very precious and important to keep me going with my writings. So Thank You for just being…

When I first began blogging, I thought I am doing it for myself but then gradually this blog developed its own personality. And today this blog has moved beyond the descriptions of my day or its activities and has become a medium not only to connect with people I know but to many of you I have never met.

With time so many of you started to come in and became a part of this blog, in fact became my Extended Family. When I receive your emails, comments, phone calls about any post it just feels great and make my efforts all the more worthwhile. Many thanks to the people who designed this medium which provided us with the ease and luxury of expressing ourselves so freely and also to connect with anyone around the world effortlessly.

How easily we take people and things around us for granted, when the reality is that no matter how rich or powerful we are we cannot function alone in this world. We are a part of the other and they are a part of us, intertwined in this wonderful web of life. 

Have a wonderful weekend….

My love to all!

Sonya. (Day 280)

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…” . AND Thank You Allah for  this  amazing opportunity to write this blog. It is so true that how ...
