Early Monday


Today I write in early, way early than my usual timing but its better to express yourself when you feel like, rather you wait for the right moment. Finally after a lot of negotiations with myself I came to a resolution, and at last I decided that I cannot make everything right. That sometimes things need to get out of order and fall apart so a new and beautiful order can be made.

For quite some time I have been struggling with myself and trying to do what is right. However, I didn’t realize that what I believed to be right could be extremely wrong for many people including myself.

We humans make our decisions based on the evidence which we perceive through our five senses. Nevertheless, there are moments when our sixth sense intervene and compels us to go beyond our five senses and take a leap of faith; to only focus on the purity of my intentions and peace for everybody. That is exactly what I am doing, I am stepping into the unknown with my faith intact.

Somebody I know was suffering from severe acidity and insomnia for months. She took all the medicines and did all the therapies; however, it wasn’t making much difference. I read in the book ‘The Secret’ that if you watch news before sleeping and you wake up in the middle of the night with severe acidity or indigestion then don’t be surprised.

You see reading newspaper and watching news on TV have ill effects on our health, although we claim to be unaffected yet these things work. Some say that we need to be informed but my dears what is the use of getting information about things that you cannot change. Except if you work in the business and stock market. Unfortunately for the people in business and especially in stocks and shares business have to watch news very carefully. Nevertheless, the least they can do is to strictly remain to what they need to know and avoid unnecessary bombardment.  

So I convinced the lady, who is addicted to newspaper and 10 o’clock news, to quit reading and watching news for a month and see what happens. Surprisingly she agreed to try my cure and its been two weeks now that her acidity is almost gone and she sleeps comfortably.

Like many others in this city I have banned newspapers and breaking news from our lives. Sometimes escaping can be beneficial.

Have a wonderful day!

Sonya. (Day 387)

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...

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...

The Telecom Bill That Slipped Through While Pakistan Looked Elsewhere

While we were all mourning the petrol price hikes and drowning in the chaos of inflation, IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja quietly tabled the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) (Amendment) Bill 2026. Most of us didn't even notice. The bill amended the 1996 Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-Organization) Act. It redefined certain terms and replaced Section 27A on Right of Way with a new Section 27B. What sounds like routine legislative work is anything but ordinary. This bill grants state-backed authorization to telecom companies to take over any private property or land and install 5G infrastructure including mobile towers and fiber-optic networks wherever they please. No consent required. No negotiation. Just entry and installation. The astonishing reality is that this draconian bill which grossly violates the fundamental rights of Pakistanis was approved by majority vote in the National Assembly on June 11, 2026. Not a single member objected. Nobody raised their voic...
