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...

Sundae


The weather is getting beautiful by the hour, if you wake up at 7 or 8 in the morning to feel the breeze and the see the amazing sky you could experience the wonder of life. So today is lazy Sunday but more than lazy it is a tired one, nobody wants to do anything just waste time by becoming a certified couch potato.

There was a Julia Roberts movie “Eat, Pray, Love” shown on the cable, other than her I couldn’t find anything interesting in the film, most probably because I watched it from the last part. However, the movie is based on this book Eat Pray & love by Elizabeth Gilbert which is a best seller.

Although I haven’t read it yet but its on my list, especially because this book is highly recommended by Oprah Winfrey. If Oprah say it’s a must-read then it becomes my moral duty to read it. All the books that are on my favourite books list are recommended in Oprah shows and I cannot that thank her enough for showing me that invaluable treasure.

It is strange how once top ranking female actors hardly get same great movies after marriage or having children. Even the heroes those actresses get could hardly act. It is so different with male actors, they not only get good roles but their lead actresses get younger with every movie. Of course the movers and shakers of the industry are men and they decide who goes with whom.  

Recently I have seen glimpses of the come-back movie of Karisma Kapoor and oh boy! After having two kids she looks far more smashing than her younger sister. Its not only her but the same case is with many other Hollywood and Bollywood actresses, they all look so good that you wonder God has made them with some different ingredient. Yet  the male lead they get is nothing as compared to them.

The only exception is the Holly wood actress Meryl Streep, I mean the roles which she get are amazing. The reason could be that she was never the lead glamorous actor rather she has been a pure actress. You see glamour can leave you but acting would always stay, so she doesn’t have to make any transition. She acted before and she acted afterwards hence no insecurity age or role wise.      

I must say what an in depth view of films, I should have been a film journalist I cannot understand what I am doing in law.

Have a great day you all….

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...
