Light, camera, action!


Today has been a long day, from the morning the spirit of lethargy has possessed me. All I want is to doze off, just calm down the mind, because it has been hyper-active throughout the week. 

Sometimes it is strange that you feel irritated as if you need to do something but don’t know what it is. You carefully read and re-read your To-do list and there is nothing missing there. So what is the reason for such discomfort ? Am I suppose to finish a chore that I have completely forgotten or do I have to speak with somebody. Ahh so many questions but, alas no answer....

Today I have been trying to select my picture to upload it on facebook; however it has been a struggle in vain. The ones I already have, had been uploaded on fb at least 100 hundred times and my friends and family have pleaded me not to repeat them anymore. 

One of my best pictures had been on fb profile for more than a year, so one day I received a desperate email from my cousin. She said, ‘Sonya baji I love you and you are the most wonderful person but to be honest your profile picture is literally bleeding my eyes. I beg you please, please change it now’.     

   What am I suppose to do? I am stuck with few pictures and my dear ones pay the price. I am very very conscious of my pictures. First of all, standing in front of a small object, we call camera, and then smiling at it for no apparent reason is hilarious to me. 

 I am hyper conscious of how the picture would turn out. I wander if there is any way that I could look stunning like Katrina Kaif in all my pictures. And then I tell myself.. keep on dreaming....

Yesterday I got really desperate in my search for finding a good picture and when nothing appropriate came forth I uploaded Einstein's picture. My cousin who was quietly watching me throughout this process, looked at me with the strangest of expression in his eyes as if he is saying, 'my poor sister has totally lost it'.
 
I cannot have professional photographers lined up to take my fb profile picture, although I seriously wish that I do. What a luxury it would be that whenever I need a new profile picture I could just call a personal photographer and he/she would take care of the rest and all I need to do is relax.  

I cannot believe that I have written what I have just wrote above- but this is how I feel today, so be it..

Enjoy your Monday dear ones...

Sonya Syed. (Day 411)

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. Sadia and all of my Dear Readers, I thank you so much from my heart for responding so beautifully for my post “Miracles & Magic? I wonder…” .
