Happy New Year, 2025
A round up of 2024 here, as most of the time I wasn’t here. Losing my Mother during that time has been the most heart wrenching part of it. Otherwise, God blessed me in every way, as you see.
Ending with sharing of my aspirations for this year 2025. May God bless each of you and myself, along with our families. May our dreams come true. May sanity prevail in the world. It gets pretty scary sometimes. As my mother always said, ‘Life is as you make it!’
Happy new year!

Two Dozen Ways to deal with ‘C’ word.
I’ve written this blog post on request of my oncologist Dr. Farrukh, at Shifa International Hospital. He found my demeaner different from most of his patients. He wanted me to share how I’ve stayed motivated and kept myself feeling good throughout. Sometimes, while I’d be tapping away at the laptop during my chemo sessions, he would send some prospective patients to my cubicle, to show her that it isn’t so bad, it can be like this also!
