Where am I, these days?



Goodness! It feels like ages have passed since I last wrote, almost a month has elapsed and there has been no news from my front. What am I up to these days, any new happenings?

Well, thankfully there is not much excitement in my life, it is amazingly dull and boring and trust me you would want it to be like that.

I don’t have any idea as to why there has been such a long gap after my last post; I wanted to write, to shout out loud yet I choose to be quiet. Sometimes silence is the best medicine, it is wise to hold yourself rather than make a fool of oneself.

Talking about fooling oneself, over the time I have realized that it is one of the greatest therapies available to any human. It is so wonderful to keep yourself in a dream-world, where all is bliss and perfect and where everyone is beautiful. Nevertheless, the Reality does pull you out of your comfort zone and you are left with no option but to face what it is.

Anger, hatred and jealousy are inevitable human emotions and no matter how much we deny we all have a certain standard amount of all these within. What is important here is, whether we deal with them with grace and dignity or we choose to express them in the harshest of ways imaginable.

These days none of us want to work on our own weaknesses or try to improve what we lack because there are so many short-cuts available to us. Let someone else do the hard work, we can just relax and go on creating problems not only for us but also for others.

In our daily encounters with people our own insecurities, complexes and hidden fears get reflected back to us.  This concept is mostly proved in our closest relationships, what we see in others is somewhat our own reflection and the other person is only being our mirror image.  
This is a hard concept to swallow but if we accept this fact, our lives can become really easy.

Need to do the necessary…will get back to you soon.

Many prayers,

Sonya Syed. (Day 478)

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…” .
