Detours


I was thinking continuously about the beginning of today’s post and then I had a feeling to write exactly what I feel. Well, that would be dangerous and might cause a stir, therefore it is wise to take a diplomatic route and then see where it goes.

Sometimes you plan about your life meticulously, figure out each and every detail and then move ahead to make all dreams a reality. And then comes a sudden detour and you are required to use emergency brakes, to stop. Of course this is the moment when you look desperately in all directions in search for answers, reasons.

In such moments all we can do is wait with patience and faith, accepting whatever it is, because life throws at us all the experiences we need in order to become a better version of ourselves.

What I am trying to say that in our life everything does not go as per our wishes. There will be detours, sudden brakes, highs and lows and in the midst of all this we need to build our faith, work with immense gratitude for what we have and then we shall realize that even though God does not work on our timetable yet whatever He has in store for us is definitely phenomenal.

There was a point in my life when I was disillusioned because none of my wishes were manifested and today when I look back, I am immensely grateful that they didn’t. Why? because if I were to be given what I wished, I would not be able to handle it. I did not have the ability to realize the depth of my blessings.

It is only when you can truly appreciate the gifts and blessings which you have been given would lead to a doorway to your magnificent life.

May you all live in peace & blessings.

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...
