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...
How quickly time
passes by in Ramazan, I woke up at 3.30 in the morning had sehri then had some
sleep time followed by the working hours. Entire day goes by managing chores
and when it is the time for Iftaar everything falls right into place.
Only yesterday I
did a balanced Iftaari so by night I was in good working condition because if
there is too much intake of deep fried food then sluggishness is your only fate.
Come to think of
it Ramazan schedules are actually the best routines; there is definite and
fixed time to do everything, and your sleep-wake patterns get perfected.
Recently I have
taken up the task of teaching law at university level. I cannot say what a
truly satisfying experience it has become for me, to share what I have learned
is amazing.
It is surprising
that I, who through out my student life has been proclaimed as one of the shyest
person when it came to public speaking is now actually teaching adults.
Speaking/ arguing cases in courts was a different experience all together but
when it came to teaching I surprised myself.
I could have
never in my wildest imagination thought of becoming a teacher/ professor but
things change. During my BBA we had to do so many class presentations and I
always used to hide behind my group mates because I feared to speak. However,
my Professors never ever took pity on me and whenever there was a new topic
that needed to be presented, I always became their prey.
At that time I
used to cry and get angry on my teachers who singled out me for presentations
but little then I knew that they were actually preparing me for my future.
Teachers are true blessings and they know what is best for their students, had
they not made me do those long, regular presentations I would have never
gathered the confidence to become a lawyer.
I owe so much to
all my teachers from my school, to college, university and then in life. I am
so grateful to be given the gift of education and now to share that gift with
others is beautiful.
With best
wishes…
Sonya. (Day 330)
