Judgment


There are moments when you search desperately for the words of wisdom, something that could bring comfort and peace, even if it is momentarily. It is so much better that we get into denial rather than face the brutal truth. Denial keeps us in hope, hope of nirvana. However, you wonder if there is anything that could give you the ultimate happiness.

Is it possible for someone or something to give us joy? Wise people say that our true happiness lies within us so to look for it in the the outer sources can never fulfil us. In short, if we prefer to be unhappy and miserable all the time than nobody can do anything that could make us happy.

Rain has shown its surprise arrival in Karachi, although the weather is pleasant but it also feels strange. Why is such a huge climatic change taking place in this warm country? Few days ago there was a 7.9 magnitude earth quake, affected Baluchistan and gave everyone else a clear warning.

As Muslims we believe that if earth quakes, sudden rains or sectarian violence occurs in any country then this it is a sign of God’s anger for the people.

Today my brother had his presentation at the university and due to the unexpected rains everything got upset for him. As he was agitating about the whole thing, it made me think that these rains are causing distress to many people. So what is happening with us, are we getting some signs or probably warnings.

Whatever might be the case I can feel that something is happening somewhere, things are changing at some invisible level. We need to pray and pray strongly that may all these changes happen for the peace, safety and well-being of all invloved. We need to seek forgiveness and atone for our mistakes.

We need to clear our life’s black board so we can write anew.

May the joy be with you all...

Be safe!

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...

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...
