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...
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…
