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...
I cannot believe it has been
almost ten days since my last post, gosh! time is flying. Although I
was not able to come on the blog but not a single day went by when I did not
think about writing something, anything. However, the daily routine and the
work schedule got so tight that by the time I had some free time on hand I did
not have any energy left to concentrate, let alone write an entire post.
Elections are nearing and at this
point, I want all of you to register your votes and to vote wisely. Please do
not get into any family favouritism or blind idolism- elect people wisely and
think for long-term.
Some of you might be promised a particular
job once so and so gets into power, nevertheless, you need to remember that it
is not only about you but also about your children, your future and millions of
other people around you. You might get a job or a business contract but if law
and order is not properly maintained, or we do not have sane foreign policies then
your job or business would not be able to prosper in the long-run.
These are great times because we
have seen almost every one’s efficiency and integrity, we as a nation have bore
and suffered a lot in the hands of old and used people again and again. This is
the time to come out of our frightened mind-sets, shallow desires and petty interests in choosing the
right people through our votes, this is the time to choose for change and a new
Pakistan.
We need to keep in mind that if the country is safe then not only us but
also everybody around us shall prosper.
Somebody was saying to me, that
no one in this country wants change because we as a country always elect people
who are corrupt and insincere to us. Well, that might be true but my dear
friend it doesn’t matter what others do because what truly matters is what we
do in our individual capacities.
We cannot force anybody to do as we like, nevertheless,
we can do what is right.
All I can say is decide wisely.
Pakistan Zindabad!
Sonya. (Day 418)
