Election Selection



These days fortunately we are in the process of deciding our care taker Prime Minister, many names and recommendations are coming forth in this concern. 

I believe this would be the first time in the history of Pakistan that we are actually seeing our democracy alive through out its tenure, which is now transferring its power to a selected group of individuals who would not only look after the elections but shall bestow power to the freshly elected people.

For these five years of democracy, we as a nation have paid a very heavy price. Many of our innocent citizens felt prey to terrorism and many have their lost livelihoods because economy has gone from bad to worse.  I believe these five years were the darkest years of our history when bombs have become a synonym to Pakistan.

However, the good part is that we learned and we grew, at least I hope so. We now have seen very clearly as to how our choices have effected us and also our next generations. I hope that now we choose wisely and select the most deserving people who are not only capable of putting us back on track but also competent to establish us as worthwhile citizens of the world. 

Having said that we too need to take a good look at ourselves- at our little dishonesties, at our corruption and at our weaknesses. We need to accept that in order to see the change outside ourselves we need to first change from within. 

Nobody has the magic wand to change our condition overnight but it is only us. It is only when we would start to respect law the law would respect us in return. Remember the Newton’s Law ‘to every action there is always an equal & opposite reaction.’

Lots of best wishes…

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.
