Mission (Is) Possible



I cannot believe as to how many times I have deleted and re-written this post, nothing worth mentioning was coming to mind. However, today I feel that I am in much better state so let’s begin.

Today is a very important day for Pakistan in many respects, first it is the death anniversary Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. A great leader, extraordinary lawyer and a politician- who gave us the vision, strength and the motivation to have a beautiful country Pakistan. Although I am not sure as to what extent, we as a nation have been able to take care of this precious gift.

When I think of those hundreds of thousands of people who gave their lives, their wealth, their children and innumerable sacrifices so that today we can live as an independent nation with dignity and pride- I feel ashamed. Where we have come today from that passionate spirit to poverty & misery.

When we talk about Quaid-e-Azam we all wish that it would have been a blessing for if he could have lived a few more years after the birth of Pakistan. A few more years of Quaid with us and the domestic as well as international politics and its impact on the development of Pakistan might have been handled far more wisely.

The harsh reality is that you cannot change the past, however, we can affect the future. Mistakes are an inevitable part of human life yet it is important that you learn from your mistakes. What you have done in the past can always be fixed in the present in order to have a great future.

Native Americans believed that whenever there is a poison found in the forest, its antidote is always available only a few steps ahead. Likewise all the solutions can be found within the problems, its just that we need to look carefully.  

Have a blessed day.

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…” .
