Life Is An Interesting Struggle

 

Hey beautiful Souls! 

Hope blooming in the spring of  your existence beautifully and sharing your light with everyone around you ♥️

I know I am being repetitive but weather element is highly magnified these days and I have to say it again that our weather is really hot these days . Temperature has risen to the 50 centigrade and above 🥵

We celebrated Eid of sacrifice three days ago but honestly I couldn’t  feel anything but the laboured breathing,excessive sweating and fatigue 😥

Every summer in southern Pakistan reminds me that how powerfully weather affects our lives and behaviour! The only joy I felt meanwhile was having our younger son with us! He has some more days with us thankfully and is going to join us for our summer trip to Islamabad 🥹

Being a mother I am happy to hear that!  Actually he has got some issue with one of his assignments which he completed in the university class room but couldn’t submit in hurry as he was not feeling well. His teacher said she will submit his assignment and he can leave . But later at the end of the semester he learned that he lost one credit! He was really upset and protested in the office. His teacher testified that it was her fault and that she had forgotten to submit his assignment! That matter stretched to the end of the year sadly and now he has to spend four months from August to December in the university just for one credit!! He is still upset and stressed. Our eldest son and we are trying to convince him that he needs to let go as four months aren’t big deal. 

I hope things will improve in better place and weather 🤞



She is the adopted daughter of  my youngest brother in law . She is turning two years old next month. When she entered our house on the Eid morning with her father,we all chuckled and laughed instantly because how she had worn the cultural hat of her father and walked with confidence like big man lol 

Isn’t she so cute 🥰



Hubby and both sons on Eid morning after Eid prayer and breakfast,no matter how many years passed (ten almost) we ,I miss eldest son on Eid day terribly 😔 he called on the Eid evening and we 

Despite his tension younger son made this hinna design on my hand ,he was tired because of he had travelled in bus whole night. Best part he had in mind and he offered me to apply hinna on my hands .heat was so intense and I refused to do my other hand ☹️

    This and three pictures below are taken in our BnB stay in Karachi in  January 2026 before the arrival of sweet Gabi !, apartment was on 7th floor but due to be in the centre of the city it was quite noisy and crowded area. Although it didn’t affected us because of the high rise place. I liked the wall decoration all over the apartment, I thought i will capture the whole decoration but forgot sadly,these were from living room where we spent most of the our time , I would stare at this tree and feel it was very philosophically done ,what do you think??



   Design of this mirror would make me think of revolving galaxies immediately, do you too find it impressive and mysterious??


    I  found theses two photos very intriguing , it seems that some young intuitive mind was Involved in all the details, I wonder if.  other visitors would have noticed the depth of decoration too because I feel it’s amazing and reflects the modern aesthetic of human thinking 


     During our two weeks stay,I would get up first ,mostly around 7:30 or 8am and would sit on the chair you can see on right, sun would stay low and close and environment would feel soothing, sometimes bird chirping would come from the balcony and see little fellows coming and going. Sky would feel so calm and beautiful, those were lovely moments which will stay with me forever ! 

           We stayed in two different apartments in Karachi and both had paintings of the whirling dervish ! I was very happy to see such paintings from close because I had found them immensely profound and beautiful 🥹 everything in the universe is orbiting itself and around something else too ,it definitely makes sense to me because it shows how love works within the the veins of universe and within our lives 🥰  can you imagine life without love?? Love of anything ??

Below few flowers I have captured during our evening walk in Islamabad in previous trip to Islamabad 2025







      At the end I am sharing this favourite photo from beach tour in Karachi with eldest son! Here eldest son is showing collection of his sea shells he has picked up by walking on the shore. I find it fascinating because it appears like we all pick up things by making various choices and our life showcase it gradually!

Does anything come to your mind about this?? 
Dear friends heartfelt thanks for your support and encouragement which strengthens my heart and makes me keep sharing ♥️🙏
God Bless you all ♥️🙏

  1. Wow, you really do have hot weather, Baili, and here in New England we are having early spring rather than summer temperatures. There was even a forecast of snow last night in some higher elevations! I can understand how stressed and upset you son feels about having to attend class for only 1 credit especially after the teacher spoke up for him. But the advice from his brother is good. I like the photo of your husband and two sons.

    1. Dear Dorothy,thank you for lovely response
      I am very happy that you are enjoying nice comforting weather conditions by the grace of God!
      In my native hill town temperature would rise to mid thirty degrees hardly during summer season but here case is totally different ☹️
      Surviving such heat isn’t easy but exhausting and painful specially at this part of age .even I find weather outside the kitchen bearable while staying inside under the fan or air conditioner,when I cook in kitchen I feel fainting and chest heavy which seems worrying now ,so maybe we will move somewhere else in future near or far God knows but it’s the intention only for now

      Younger son felt very upset because he thought it wasn’t his fault. The testimony of his teacher was not accepted by the authorities,even son had took photo of his completed assignment,nothing worked. We both wanted to go to the authorities and request but younger son said there was no hope because the management is too strict and most of the students are so annoyed with their stern and inflexible attitude.
      Thanks for liking the picture dear friend 🥰

    1. Sweet friend Sandi!
      I realised that everything in the universe from larger galaxies to particles in the atom behave similarly on fundamental levels. Whirling is everywhere from planets to blood in our bodies everything seems to circulate,even though there is initiative point and ending point for everything yet circular motion feels endless throughout the universe.
      I think dervish whirl for the same reason as galaxies,though dervish being aware of their journey whirl intently. I believe that everything including dervish and universe itself are trying to reach back to their origin and this desire is injected into their being as the core of their existence.
      It’s my personal opinion dear friend supported by some ancient mythologies and myths

    2. The dear friend Sandi!
      I think everything in the universe from larger galaxies to tiniest particles within the atom behave similarly.
      Whirling is everywhere, from solar system to blood within our bodies is circulating.
      I realised that dervish whirl for the same reason as galaxies, though dervish being aware of their state and journey meant to enjoy it more.
      I assume that this behaviour comes from the strong desire of reaching back to our origin ! It’s journey to find eternal peace which can be achieved by joining our root system. Maybe we all are born with that certain desire injected into our core of existence.

      It’s my personal opinion supported by ancient wisdom dear Sandi

    1. Dear Christine I agree with you that it’s just four months and he will forget about this incident in future once degree is done

  4. OMGosh. I had to look up the heat index. 50ct is 122f. I don't know how you stand it. Oh please stay as cool as you can. Another OMGosh! That little girl is just darling. You can tell she has a mind of her own already. I'm so sorry about your son and his grade. I guess even though the teacher admitted it was her fault doesn't do much good. I know he will get through the 4 months even if he doesn't like it. Your BnB is so lovely. I too like all of the art. The flowers are so pretty and I do like the choices your eldest make with the shells. I think we pick up shells, rocks, bits of the earth that make us feel good and happy at the time. Thank you for a wonderful post. Ohhhh I like your hand too. Blessing dear friend.

    1. Dear Nichole,the little girl is very smart mashallah and her smartness is adored by everyone and keeps everyone around amused
      As far heat ,yes this is where I feel how immensely God is kind and wise who has blessed us power of adoptability to different harsh realities and environmental conditions,all credit goes to Him only 🙏
      We have a desert near us and I keep wondering how people can live in such conditions and weather in the desert 🫢🤔

      What makes us satisfied is that our son did his job ,such mishaps are part of the life ,good thing that he it’s fixable thankfully

      I decided to share picture of eldest son holding shells because it always seems to reveal deeper meaning than its appearance.
      Our picks and choices in this life reflect our nature and how we took our journey. It’s kind of metaphorical for me

  6. What a sweet little girl, hope she stays that way Baili.
    The mirror, looking at it for a while it made it turn around - just my mind and illusion.
    Good memories there, the flowers are always beautiful, Baili.
    It's a pity your youngest son has to do the same subject again, but this time he will pass well.
    Take care.

    1. Awe ,I wish she can dear Margaret,but life as we know it is tough teacher sadly
      But yes she is only and adopted child ,very much pampered by her parents so hope her innocence last longer 🤞
      Oh sorry if mirror made you feel dizzy dear friend
      It reminds me of revolving galaxies instantly instead 😊 maybe I think too much of them 😇
      Yes we are hopeful that he will make it happen because he has been doing nice in four years of studies ,not excellent but enough to pass at least

  7. Hello, Baili. I’d stay inside with the air conditioning on at under 50 degrees C. It has been very hot here, reaching highs of 30 degrees for this time of year. I think I know how your sonf felt, but being upset and going through various emotions is not a bad experience for him, as long as his family watches over him quietly and affectionately.
    Take care.

  8. That is very hot indeed, baili. If only the people in charge of environmental policy who still deny climate change could be made to endure it as everyday people do ..... they would be singing a different tune. I hope you can stay safe.

    Thank you for sharing your photos and thoughts with so much positivity. You are an inspiration!

    1. Sweet friend Jenny what a blessing to hear from you 😊
      Thanks for dropping by dear friend!
      I completely agree with you that environmental issues influencing climate change is equally important for everyone ,every nation and institution.it’s not just personal responsibility but a combined,composed well thought actions are need individually and collectively.otherwise things will continue to get worse and consequences are inevitable 😞☹️

  9. Dear Yoko,eldest son says same thing that stay inside in air conditioning but our house is open and huge except bedroom, I don’t hire domestic help . I like to do things myself.it makes me go around doing various tasks and kitchen has no air conditioning nor bathroom. So day can’t be spent in bedroom. I have to attend my household anyway.
    It’s understandable that you find 30 degrees very hot because you are not familiar with temperature higher than that.I really hope that your weather stays kind and friendly 🙏
    I appreciate your wisdom on this matter, unlike before,at this part of the age I too feel that emotional challenges are healthy way to train ourselves for better and stronger mindset

  10. That is a beautiful little girl. There is an old saying that love makes the world go 'round. It is true. The love a mother has for her children is probably the strongest. I love many people and try to show them. To give love makes me happy. To receive love makes me strong.

    1. Dear Emma there are no more beautiful truths than one you have mentioned here today
      When observe carefully I feel that love is most powerful and fundamental element displayed in the nature!
      Seems like nature has pointed out that family is most important, creating family patterns within everything existing reveals that reality so powerfully. From atom to larger solar systems floating in the space proves that. Everything having central entity to orbit around reflects how crucial it is in nature follow theses rules and patterns without questioning them.
      Just like you,love is the reason for my life, oxygen for my survival.
      Receiving love is most beautiful thing above everything else
      Giving love is my religion,I know nothing more than that 🥹🙏♥️

  11. 50 C is much too hot. Today is 5 c but that's too cold. We're never satisfied.

    1. The anxiousness and restlessness is gift or curse whatever you call it keeps us going
      I wonder if people were perfect and have everything utopia would have felt satisfaction for extended period of time. It makes me realise that what we feel is mostly ninety nine percent depends on how we look at things
      O 5 c sounds very cool to me,though temperatures from 10 to 20 c are nice and bearable

  12. Oh Baili, I simply cannot imagine having to deal with 50 degrees C. That is very hot indeed and I hope somehow you are able to stay cool and healthy until your trip to Islamabad which will be more comfortable for you. The little girl you showed is very cute and I love her in the hat! I feel for your son who has to repeat four months. Though it isn't a long time, it is quite unfair in my opinion given the facts so I really understand why he is so upset. Last but not least, enjoy your visit with your sons. Take care until next time.

  13. Dear friend Joyful!
    Thanks for the kind words, as climate change is causing extreme weather all over the world,such high temperatures are permanent part of our summers 😏
    I moved from northern part of the country to southern part here and at the beginning it felt very uncomfortable and impossible but with strong intention to survive here I could cross the edge of impossible and start living in difficult situation instead. Did you ever hear a joke in which a fortune teller told a man that first six months will be difficult for you
    And then ? Man asked eagerly
    Then you will be used to of the difficulties,replied the fortune teller
    So I am used to the weather,though it certainly doesn’t mean I like it,no I want to move somewhere where weather is tolerable
    Honestly I don’t know if sounds good or bad,I am happy to have my son for little more time 🥹🙏
    Four months will pass in no time hopefully and he will get his degree done 🤞
    We are excited to go to Islamabad together dear friend
    Please you too take care 🥰🙏

  14. Goodness me ... your temperatures are so HOT. Here in the UK many parts experienced 30 degrees plus and that was too hot! Thankfully we have had some rain today and cooler temperatures.

    So sorry to read about your sons experience but I'm sure those four months will soon go and he will get his degree.

    Lovely photograph of the little girl.

    Take care in your heat and stay well.

    All the best Jan

  15. Oh, I'm so sorry about your son having that extra requirement even though the teacher said it was her fault that the assignment wasn't turned in. It really is hot there-- even hotter than where I am in Florida. The little girl is adorable. I like that tree. It's something to think about, and so is the mirror. The mirror could represent galaxies or the world turning.

    Love,
    Janie
