Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase. It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions. This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...
‘It was a cowardly
attack, we will punish so and so’
‘The incident is
deeply regretted, I share my deepest condolences to all the families who lost their
loved ones”
‘I condemn
terrorist attacks’
One of the major job done, issued press statements. Now
lets go back to our normal lives, its business as usual.
Few days passed and everyone will forget and move on,
news channels will stop reporting as the news is no more vibrant or raising TRPs.
No more blood, no more crying or screaming women, no more dead bodies.
No action, No precaution, No special task forces, No
accident management, No protection. And we all wait anxiously for another
attack, for another suicide bombing. Alas... the cycle continues.
Nobody is bothered and we are all at the mercy of
terrorists. We are safe not because we have perfect protection but we are safe only
because terrorist have not targeted us as yet.
Army Public School’s incidents and earlier similar
attacks are the dark moments of our country, and they are not taking place randomly.
Something is not right, we are overlooking something, we are not paying
attention.
We need to look carefully at the chain of events
leading to this helplessness and painful incidents, utilize our protection resources
intelligently, we need to really take a closer look on the security
measures-identify the problems and solve it immediately.
There is no time to play politics or using
intelligence resources on personal grudges.
It’s the time to wake up and do something about it,
nothing happens without a reason. Look, identify and solve before any more
damage is done.
Yours truly,
Sonya Syed. (Day 506)
