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...

The Magic


It might appear that I am on to book promotions these days but if I do not share this new one with you all then God help me! So here is my new pick “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne. After A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle I believe this is the one I have fallen in love with.

Well Rhonda would be a familiar name if you have watched the DVD or read her first book/ movie “The Secret”. After the release of the Secret Rhonda has developed certain practices and compiled those daily practices in The Magic. This book is more like a workbook with brief and easy daily exercises which when done shall raise your feelings and frequency to the highest levels of peace and joy. 

For those of you who don’t have too much time to spare in reading an entire book then this book is just right for you because instead of having chapters it has exercises for Day 1 & 2 and so on which you will read and do day by day.

Today is my 7th day with The Magic and I have to say that I feel light as a feather. I never thought that noticing and acknowledging every little thing in your life could have such a pleasant impact.

If you have watched or read the Secret then you would definitely love this one, and even you are first timer then the daily practices are just fun to do. So I say that you get a copy of this book and have fun with life.

The flu is fine now thankfully but the smell recognition might take a few days to return. Spring is here and so is the fine weather although it can be tricky at times because if you are outdoors in the afternoon then its quite hot and when you enter the indoors and switch on the fan it gets chilly. Result is flu, so one better be careful and go slowly in the heat-cold mix.

There has been a lot of paper work in the last week, one document after an another and the work took all my time, I should have planned better to mange everything but sometimes I don’t want to plan. Sometimes it is exhausting to be organized so its better to go easy on oneself.

So enjoy life as it comes..

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...
