Sometimes...



Is it only me or any one of you is also feeling lethargic, out of sync with you energies. As I write today our new government is in place and we are all waiting for that 100 days action that everyone seems to be promoting these days.

100 days was actually an Indian movie in which the heroine used to get premonitions. Well there is absolutely no connection of the movie with this new government but I just thought I should enlighten you with my esteemed general knowledge.

For almost a month I have been experiencing pangs of lethargy for reasons both known and unknown, and I thought I am losing my blog writing ability or every other creative ability that I have.

It was a frightening thought, because after years of laborious self work I have learned few things to move on with some purpose in my life. And there was no way that I want to return to my old self, a hard core ambitious lawyer, for whom there was no place for any kind of soft emotions.

Sometimes we are so afraid of being vulnerable and getting hurt that we try everything in our power to guard ourselves. But it does not serve any good to anybody, especially yourself.

Sometimes your strength lies in your weakness. Sometimes the best remedy for not getting hurt is to face eye-to-eye what pains you most. When you look directly at your fears then only you can dissolve them, because fear is only of the unknown. So when you know then it is not frightening anymore.

Well I must that say we live in the age of miracles and ultimate possibilities, and my especial thank goes to the great social media. Few months ago there was a guest writer celebrity who was at several Oprah Winfrey Shows and Oprah herself interviewed him.

Would you believe that only few days ago I actually chatted with the same person on facebook. And then there was another female writer who is a friend of Hollywood actors like Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston & Demi Moore, who personally emailed me on several times me in reply to my email where I wanted her to clarify some of the contents of her book. We might also have one on one video conferencing soon.

I mean this is crazy that I have reached Hollywood, even though indirectly but still it is really big for me. It is only because of the Grace of God and very effective social media where we can connect with anybody.

With lots of love..

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...
