Courage & The Oscars



Sometimes the things we fear most become our most powerful weapon. There is always a threshold to everything, to every experience, to every pain and to every fear. However, once you cross that threshold, that limit; your are free.

In that particular moment when you have truly tasted what you feared most, your immunity takes charge. A certain defence mechanism which you were unaware to have ever existed in you, all of a sudden takes the control.   

This immunity, this defence mechanism or freedom is actually your Courage. A gift that has been given to you by God, because if we didn’t have such element in us we would have been extinct by now.

I have to admit that I have courage, and quite a lot of it. Thankfully, I experienced courage in a relatively healthy situation because there are many people who have to go through an ordeal to discover their courage.

We always look for big events in our life to teach us lessons, so that we could become a better person. Nevertheless, we ignore the fact that sometimes little incidents in our life could be our great teachers.  

It is not easy to feel your courage until you have endured your fear, your pain, your anxiety or anger.

Hah the story of my life... 

Now lets take a look at the lighter side of things, of course by that I mean The Oscars. I am not a huge fan of award functions but this time they were hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, my favorite TV personality after Oprah. 

She is fun and exciting, and above all extremely hilarious. This is the second time she hosted this function and I must say she did hell of a job. More to girl power! Yeh...

Oscars always have very sophisticated atmosphere, where everyone is dressed to perfection; however, this time it was a fun thing to watch. So many beautiful talented people, wearing the most phenomenally expensive clothes and eating pizzas right in the midst of Oscars. And then who can forget the most popular selfie of Ellen which had all the big stars.  



If you can then do watch this function, you'll have a good time and some very funny moments bound to give some laughs..

With all my affections,

Have a great weekend!

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…” .
