Life


Finding order in the disorders of life is probably the trick of great living. Irrespective what occurs in the periphery or outer boundaries of our life, the centre our core should always be in peace & deep gratitude. Once the inner foundation is there the outer structure shall itself fall into place.

Weather is finally getting lighter and windy and now we await monsoons. There is something magical about rain, something that couldn’t be expressed in words. Dark grey skies, soft breezes, fragrance emerging from earth as rain precipitates from the air and the aroma of pakoras from kitchen only add to the delights of this beautiful weather.

Rain during the day has different impact while the one in the night casts another spell on us. I especially love the glistening reflection of orange and red hued streetlights and cars at night; sometimes passing by rickshaw play songs quite appropriate for the occasion and I feel that it is the glimpse of heaven.

My mind is mechanically engaged on many different fronts thinking and planning at least five things at a time, whilst I become a silent observer in the background of all this. It is such a pity that 90% of our mind’s planning is done without there being any need of it. We are always mentally busy either in the grievance of past or anxiety about the future while our life unfolds right in this moment.      

With all this going on it is challenging for me to concentrate on this post, I have quite a lot to say but it seems as every thread in mind is weaving its on fabric without any coordination with each other. Resultantly I have to pause before beginning new paragraphs something that I never appreciate while writing.

So I believe its better to leave on the pleasant note….

Have a wonderful weekend!

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 ...
