Diary of a “Dialysis Diva” – Part 2
Part 2 – 2022 In January 2022 I turned 72 and was ready physically, mentally and emotionally to face the challenges of Chronic Kidney Disease. I was nicknamed “Dialysis Diva” and I got purple highlights in my hair to prepare me for the future. My GFR was slowly declining and I knew it’s only a […]

No wheat, no electricity, no gas, but we have enough hatred for the entire world… https://twitter.com/kashifmd/status/1621206177282461698
I ask #university professors everywhere to speak up for Prof. #IsmaelMashal, a hero who publicly demanded #women & girls be able to study in #Afghanistan & ripped up his own diplomas on TV to protest their exclusion
Pls push govmts to pressure #Taliban for his immediate release https://twitter.com/SR_Afghanistan/status/1621474449269686272
Concerned about yesterday's arrest of peaceful #EducationActivist & university lecturer #IsmaelMashal by Taliban. Targeting & suppressing peaceful civil activities is unacceptable & contrary to #Afghanistan's int obligations. I call for his immediate & unconditional release.

REFLECTIONS IN THE TIME OF CORONA….10. THE SECOND WAVE!
There was a long silence on my part as I was busy working on publication of my new book. (https://www.theabcsofislamism.com/) Due to this people thought I had done away with OCD. Seriously? So, I’m compelled to write a new blog to prove OCD is alive and well (well almost) This second wave is more challenging […]
