Baby’s day out



I am intimated and embarrassed due to my friend’s baby boy who is hardly two years old. This baby who is only in this world for less than two years, he cannot even speak properly, and have just learned to walk is operating IPad like a pro. His grandfather asks him to open GEO News on his Ipad and he quickly does that. I wish I could show you the video.

What is going on here, where am I living or more appropriately which era do I belong to? I mean this is crazy, even after a year of using a Smartphone I still can’t figure out how to send a business card.

Until two months ago I didn’t even know that there is something like viber or whatsapp, it was only after my Acupressure & Reiki professor begged me to install & use these apps I began using this stuff.

She said, ‘today even a 70 year old person is far more tech savvy than you’. I was a person who would keep my cellphone miles away from my room on a stand at the dining table in the lounge. If my callers were lucky then I would receive their calls.

I think when you understand the importance of something then you begin to use it fully. On the other hand, if anything is only an electrical device for you having no significance except of making calls and checking emails then you don’t even bother to take a second look at its functionality.

Another huge factor for my inaptness is my lazy attitude which hampers most of my technical growth.

Nevertheless, when everyone around you begins to point out that if you don’t know how to use these gadgets then you are not one of them. Now that’s a valid point.

Today, however is a new day and I am a new person. If anything, at least now I am trying to change but I need something strong to inspire me, something that would push me beyond my comfort zone. Becoming a technical outcast is a good motivation, nevertheless there has to be something more than the fear.  

In the wish for something more....

Good Night!

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…” .
