73. No Boundaries to Career Pathways  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik



I was recalling my Pre-School days when the majority of my classmates wished to either become doctors, pilots, engineers or teachers.When and why did we outgrow those dreams with time? I invite you to consider the following tips before embarking on a new/ change in career and also as a guidance to young adults in your vicinity-


1) Research WIDELY and DEEPLY various arenas. Not just 'ideal' careers that one's community/ heritage labels as 'respectable', but beyond the apparent norms too. In your exploration, you would meet a few that would interest you; That which aligns with your personality. In order to recognize this, you need to develop a KEEN interest to know yourSELF first.

2) Ask yourself Qs like- "Am I more logical, analytical and objective OR more intuitive, thoughtful and subjective?"

a- Logic and academic fields, manifest as DEPTH in certain subjects sporadically. Here, Be prepared to study INTENSIVELY. There are FIXED syllabuses with which you aren't favored to argue against. Egs- Medicine, Engineering, law, etc (Done that been there. Despite your innovative creativity and unlimited imagination here, in the end you need to PRECISELY know EXACTLY what's written in the related texts.)

b- Creative pathways, manifest as WIDTH in forms of spectra, continuous and connected in arrays. there is no absolute rules of rights and wrongs. Its a continuous expanding spectrum with infinite possibilities growing multi-dimensionally with the evolution of the soul and Persona. 2 minds perceive the exact object/ source in 2 significantly different ways. Eg- Art, Writing, Architecture, Embroidery, Choreography, etc

3) After you narrow your preferences to say 5, I suggest you get interactive on a personal level. Arrange appointments with renowned professionals in those fields of interest. Arrange meetings at appropriate times, where you can observe and assist them yourself. BE ALERT and ACTIVELY learn via asking them constructive questions. Do you see yourself ENJOYING those environments on a regular basis?

The most convenient and predictable routes in life are usually the most stagnating pathways. What makes the ultimate difference in outstanding individuals of all time, is the extend they are willing to take risks, to explore that extra mile of unknown possibilities. Those willing to accommodate various outcomes of life that may ramify from nothing to anything. The good news is, you're not "OBLIGED" to imitate anybody regardless how picturesque their style maybe. Its wise to have mentors guiding you through the milestone phase, however, you can INNOVATE your own individual style. Your own designs, exhibiting your dreams into YOUR REALITY.

You have all the tools withIN you to seek your UNIQUE Chosen Odyssey. Simply reach INto the compass of your heart and let your intuitions guide you to the Oasis of Serenity. There are no boundaries to YOUR infinite possibilities. Remember, a career that won't require your PASSION can't pay your Heart.

72. The Inexplicable Equations

After centuries of brainstorming, Science finally enabled possible the tangible rendezvous between man and the Moon; Interestingly, Revered Spirituality, enabled the possibility of the enigmatic rendezvous between man and the Creator of the Moon since the first Breathe of Mankind. Implanted deep within the heart of our Soul, the divine compass occupies unfathomable formulas certifying the unquenchable thirst to return to our Homeland.

71. Pick YOU up!  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,





Life undoubtedly takes us through fluctuations of different levels. However, its within the power of your choices and strength, every time you fall, to pick your Self up! When you synthesize this habit, you will find your Self at a higher energy level at every phase's friction. When you turn to your higher Self for support, you continuously get toned with lessons from every experience and no harsh challenge can ever defeat you!

70. Your own route.

The most convenient and predictable routes in life are usually the most stagnating programmed pathways. What makes the ultimate difference in outstanding individuals of all time, is the extend they are willing to take risks, to explore that extra mile of unknown possibilities, which may turn out either way. Those willing to accommodate variant outcomes of life that may ramify from anything into everything.

69. Are YOU ready?  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , ,



Not every educational route sprouts out definite wisdom, but all wisdom does include a unique education despite the fact it may not belong to any official system or specific recognized department. We are what we choose, every step of the way. Create your 'own' system. An evolving journey of your own, instead of a bounded bubble; You have all the tools withIN you. Simply reach OUT to the compass of thy heart and let your intuitions direct you to the oasis singing in joy embedded in thy soul.

68. Which side are you on?  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,






When the heart of thy soul chooses righteousness above all else, you would seldom find yourself in dilemmas to choose between sides. Beyond that point, its more light than choosing sides, rather its about contentment in choosing what's RIGHT!

67. How much is the right dose?  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , ,


" Patience, patiENCE, PATIENCE!!! "


Too often we hear the significance of patience, but rarely told the right dose of its quantity and quality. If there isn't a limit, does one remain patient till death do them part? Does it mean to remain silent at times when's opinion in 100% worthy and valid in an argument where their wisdom can't be comprehended?


Its sad how FAR some individuals can remain submissive indefinitely, hoping for change via patience. If he/ she constantly makes excuses for those who miss/ ill- treat them, this cascade is a camouflaged form of insidious suicide; and too often they realize not.


If a child was deprived of a basic education by his/ her parents how much patience can be expected? Should that child be patient till adulthood until its a tad awkward to dream of things a child or regular teenager would experience? So WHAT should such a bewildered child do assuming there was no national service to help? There are too many teenagers deprived of a tertiary education for various traditional reasons too.


How about womenfolk's freedom? Its flabbergasting how much male dominance prevails in our era. Sons are given multiple folds of freedom relative to sisters of the same age. How MUCH patience can/ should she synthesize until she gets married to another member of the similar mentality and society? So after being patient unlimited in her childhood, she now enters motherhood where she needs to manufacture an inexhaustible supply of this convenient excuse, abuse and oppression others label as patience? Some women, are patient ALL their life all the way to senility. Is this the sole purpose God blessed us with a phenomenal brain? To initiate nothing except a mute presence?


So is there an optimal dose to patience? What's next? Beyond? Any over-dose, even water causes toxicity to our system. So does that rule apply here as well? If you would dissect patience further, what does psychology, psychiatry, the law of attraction, philosophy, religion have got to say about its boundaries, depth and spectra?


True enough, there are times in life when one intellectually and sensibly needs to hold on for a suitable time or precise space via logic and reasoning. Reaping the harvest of certain seasons can only be attained at its specific time ( unless cultivated in a glass house of course, which isn't yet available on a global scale) . You can't expect an infant to run before crawling and walking obviously. However, how much is the limit? As much as God blesses the patient heart, I also believe He blessed us ALL with tools within our hearts, brains, minds and souls to help lift ourselves up when and where ever we fall. If you have been patient far too long, then it''s time to allow your courage to be your fuel to project you beyond that cliff of reasonable tolerance, the engine of our minds, to propel you forward to refine yourself rather than accommodating stagnation.

66. Inner Peace  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,




When you shall meet Contentment, You would relish the beauty of Silence within Your Mind and Soul. The Inexplicable Tranquility ventilating your Spirit would unfold abundantly beyond your imagination. The moment taking you to a different plane where you can't think but smile in awe, as your soul is ventilated and simply FEELS ALIVE.

65. The viscoid effect of Complaining  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,


If you like to complain its time to stop this self-consumptive habit. Too often time is wasted complaining which could have been utilized in implementing constructive thoughts into action to solve your current crisis. Its normal to be dissatisfied on the rare, but dissipating your energy over-expressing these vexations is simply futile. Avoid finding comfort narrating your situation to a herd of individuals who are unable to comprehend you. Its usually mere entertainment for them to hear you story. With experience, you should learn the fact some are more effective listeners and mentors than others. Invest your time on the worthy and receptive souls.

64. The Beauty of Simplicity  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , ,




On your spiritual journey, there is only ONE rule to be followed- Keep it SIMPLE. There is a reason we grow as slowly as we do. Simply listen to your HEART. Don't compel yourself anything. Its the most natural absorption and emission of SELF, as simple as you breathe. When you try to switch habits overnight, it only created short circuits within your mind and system. So braid your path as naturally as you can, such that you don't feel a profound difference, rather slide over a practical spectrum as you grow.

63. Thank Your Oppositions  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , ,

Be grateful for all oppositions of the past, present and future. You would not be as strong as you are this moment if you didn’t HAVE to have to awaken the latent strength hibernating within your mind. Unless we are bombarded with challenges there would be no reason for us to dissect our minds to release a variety of attempts to squeeze out the BEST in You. The more you dig deeper to explore your capabilities, the greater magnitude and multitude of uniqueness you will discover.


At the heat of the moment we seldom realize how a particular conflict or disagreement can in reality help our growth. There are too many lessons to be learnt from the turbulence and viscosity that sail our path. As we keep constantly traveling this journey, the hurdles make us stronger physically, mentally and spiritually too. How can pinnacles of life be refined further unless they are tested? Isn’t it only reasonable they are examined as we keep progressing?

62. One Earth - Home

In response to an intriguing comment to Post 53-


Comment- "What you said is beautiful, but here's a fact, I DO represent my own mind but i also represent MY COUNTRY, MY RELIGION, MY PEOPLE and if i act in an offensive way, this will be related to what i represent, what i'm trying to say is showing a beautiful mind and soul reflects on what i believe in and represent, and people will see that, feel that, and know the difference hands-on, not by reading books or listening to others but by simply experiencing how i act although i might represent what they don't understand or dislike...."





* Reply- I wasn't implying it's an absolutely a bad thing to be born to a particular religion, race or nation. In fact this creates diversity and eliminates boredom. My concern however, is how over-rated is all this grouping? As much as many love their herd, isn't this the major root to many conflicts on Earth today? As much as we feel home to our fellow worshipers and citizens, an exaggeration of this powerful feeling has wiped out thousands of our fellow Earthlings.

All in the name of Religion there have been too many wars, not only inter-religious but also Intra-religious clashes, eg Shiite- Sunni clashes within Islam. Having witnessed the intensity and discomfort between such groups I admit it's far from healthy. So all in the name of "love" and pride of their group, do they suddenly get rights to justify bitter feelings and thoughts towards the "other" groups? In this case, wouldn't you rather live in a world free of such boundaries limiting us to love and care for our fellow brothers and sisters?

As for patriotism- I arrived on Earth in the midst of a three decade CIVIL war, which only ended recently. Having been a victim, together with 20 million other country fellows, having lived with the constant fear of suicide bombers- even on your way back from school, with headlines on the news daily of casualties, there was very little that patriotism did to save all those countless innocent victims of ONE mother land.

Just think back of our planet. Regardless what you believe- Adam as the first man or evolution following the Big Bang, the entire globe was ONE until eventually we were separated into countries, continents, communities, religions, races and now socio-economic classes too. For those of you who believe in God, does the Almighty recognize us by our salaries, languages, citizenship or popularity? At dusk, aren't we all merely equal souls on the same line to Him?

As much as our minds have the power to cerebrate and make independent decisions, the element of inter-dependence between one another, regardless where we were born by default, will always exist till our final breathe. The entire Universe is a single organism just like ourselves. We are all part of a Vast jigsaw puzzle affecting each other.

Let us all be proud citizens of this Universe with compassionate towards our fellow beings and other creatures too. Lets be grateful for our intact senses and perceptions and be content to be amongst the privileged minority of this world to be seated comfortably this very moment and read this note with literacy so many aren't gifted to have. We are "more" blessed than we could ever imagine!

61. Camouflaged Bliss  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,


What if tell you there are priceless things you can afford to buy? Yes, even a homeless could have. The next opportunity you get to leave home, I request you to do yourself a favor that you undoubtedly deserve. I want you to focus DEEPLY on something you usually take for granted. It could be trees, flowers, the eyes of a cat you pass by, or simply the angel of breeze abundantly surrounding you. As you concentrate more and more deeper, you will begin to tantalize the music embedded within unexpected sources beating in unison to your pacemaker.


*At this point I literally stood up and walked outside my front gate*


I intend on sharing with you what I absorb during this mini trip. In order to prevent my visual ideas over-ride my other perceptions, I switched off the garden lights and stood in complete darkness (around 11 p.m last night!) only illuminated by moonlight. Ahhh! How breathtaking! The handsome moon poured its silky beams onto the majestic coconut palms while the smooth blades of grass frolicked in delight against my feet. I closed my eyes and felt the breeze tingle my face, only to be distracted by hyperactive mosquitoes singing against my ears and restless lizards creaking at a distance in phase with the leaves of all the trees in sight. As I opened my eyes I spot stress-free fireflies flying with overflowing liberty, with joy peace many of us could only wish for. The stars dazzled with pride as patriotic citizens of the Milky Way...


As you see, the moon, stars, breeze, warmth of sunlight, music of insects and designed flights of bees, all these priceless sources of tranquility are affordable even to the starving and homeless. As you choose to sip from these fountains of bliss, you will gradually quench the insatiable thirst for peace of mind until materialism with all its pressure would have no space on your list of requirements for true happiness.

60. Sensitivity  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in










How sensitive should one be in pointing out someone's faults? At times you maybe misunderstood and even offended via an innocent suggestion of improving the ones you care about. Would you rather ignore camouflaged weaknesses if trying to uplift them jeopardizes the relationship?

Don't forget to laugh heartily when the child in you occasionally fumbles. Its the BEST stress buster!

58. Belong  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,



As I was cleaning my room this evening, I discovered an old article I had written dated 21st-December-2006. Since most of you are acquainted with me today I thought it would be interesting to post the original...


Why do some people have a tendency to cluster themselves? Do we have to belong to some type of category by nature, behavior, outlook or limitation? Can't we simply be individuals whose life belong to themselves? Why do some people expect us to mold and play the rhythm and tunes of harps they have set in motion? Are we living on an invisible stage of pretense? Trying to be accepted by someone, are we losing our individuality? That unique spark of illumination lit by that flame within us? That special combination of your name and outlook that makes you- YOU.

Honestly I'm bewildered. Don't want to lose myself. Nearly 2 decades of my life's odyssey has passed by. Would I simply give it all up to be "accepted" by the "crowd" of those who may not reach as far as I would by myself alone? No! Its not worth doing this anymore. Honestly I'm not even going to try to put up with all the extra effort and perspiration to "fit in". I only got a couple of years before this phase would close up. Its more feasible to be enthusiastic about the future which is warming up.

Life is amazing! It takes us through a variety of channels, tunnels and caves. When its the end of one phase of life, should we feel awful its over? Or simply feel enthusiastic wondering what is life bringing next along this voyage? Its strange how we begin to cherish and get in the groove of certain segments only when its time to say goodbye.

We should be appreciative of everything at hand. After all nearly every situation anytime could have been worse, more uncomfortable, more boring and all-in-all could never have encountered us. I'd rather go through an unpredictable tunnel with it own mysterious silence and unexpected imagination than take a shortcut to the illumination that awaits me at the end of that journey. Life's way too short and segmented into various phases to keep pondering whether or not we should experience those moments adorned with arms wide open eager to be embraced. Very often, whilst we decide, these walk right pass us only leaving behind vacuums within us wondering "what if" I'd done that or gone there, regretting if ONLY I had grabbed that opportunity when it was knocking my heart to be held by my molars....


I'm relieved to be here as I recall the struggles and challenges through med school. As you see, it wasn't a bed of dew drop garnished rose petals. I hope you are striving for those elements your heart desires. Regardless what they may be, if you dream it, I bet you can achieve it!

57. Leverage  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , ,







Do you think its UNFAIR some are born with a silver spoon with parents to support every step they DESIRE? While others are born with the GREATEST challenges at the expense of having to give up their ambitions ONLY because they can't AFFORD it despite having the potential it requires?

56. Mistakes or Answers?  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,







Take your time to believe that which you are conventionally expected to believe. We are not expected to make any mistakes, but are there any absolute mistakes in Life's lessons?

55. You belong to You on Earth  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , , ,



Nobody has the right to change and control your Unique characteristics. Don't let anyone hypnotize you into that which they wished you could be instead. There is a unique compass embedded deep within your characteristic DNA. No two individuals own the exact genetic constituents (except clones). Likewise, whatever you desire, your dreams, your goals, your passions, your ambitions- The way You feel is your very own feelings. Believing you can make it happen is the first step to this destination of eternal serenity that would blossom out of it. Even if it takes years to convince yourself you can make it happen-Grip that thought! Imagine all the possibilities your mind can breathe through and fly across the infinite horizons of all realms. That exotic oasis within you.




Never regret ANY choices you made beyond ALL oppositions. Your decisions were based on your experiences and you followed your instincts at that time which you believed was the
Best. Whatever the consequences maybe its all part of the package of your cruise. At times we receive alternative incentives to that which our hearts initially desired; Our juvenile minds of the past may have quenched for substances our souls do not really need today for its growth. Hence, not getting what you wanted is NOT a failure. In reality you got what you NEEDED to work in synergism with your maturity, nourishing and hydrating your soul to a more refined and unique individual today, better than yesterday.


54. Your Mind  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,


You attract that which defines your own core. Your originality needs to be attracted out of You. Just like a drop of water flowing down a leaf. As much as it hydrates its path, it dances with joy on finding other drops along its journey, these together amalgamate gradually forming a stream that trickles in delight with liberty. Don't ever under-estimate the drop of your mind. Together with like mindedness we can achieve anything our minds desire.

53. Represent Yourself  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,




In reality you don't represent any herd or roots. You only represent YOUR mind. Don't get frustrated trying too hard to blend in when you stand inside out as a unique icon many will choose to follow. Remember, most of the GREATEST leaders and role models were initially eccentric until they were recognized for their originality. Free will is Beautiful.

52. Who's to Blame?  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,





Why do some individuals focus SO hard on blaming someone for every problem? Is there someone to blame ALWAYS for every complication in Life? Why not conserve and utilize this energy to find a solution instead! Isn't that WAY more sensible and less energy dissipated for futility?

51. Acquiantences  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,









Always take your time to trust acquaintances. It can only hurt to be disappointed via your own harmless assumptions.

50. The Power of Liberty  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,



There are two ways to Live it. You could either choose paranoia and worry about the consequences of everything you Do and Say OR You can live your Life to the fullest and accept its after-glow as it shines on You with every choice you make. The moment we realize the power of free will, it would emanate the true sense of Liberty. This is more vital than the freedom any government or religion can give You. Remember- The Greatest Tranquility of Your Heart is found when You discover the Oasis of Peace within Your soul.

49. Freedom  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , ,












There is NO Freedom without Your Independence of Self-Sustainability.
Nothing realistically attainable is impossible to achieve. Impossible itself is saying "I'm-Possible".

48. The Distance  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , , ,


Its One thing to dream it, another fact to think it, another form to write it, another subject to say it, another shape to paint it, another rhythm to sing it and another matter to actually make it happen! How far would You go?


47. Is Relativity the Root?  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,

In reality what is the size of a rose? Is it as gigantic it was to a bee on its petal as it blossomed, as small as you saw it across the street or simply the size when its enclosed in your palm? No two individuals perceive anything 100% alike. Our intuitions are based on our individual experiences as we mature everyday. Five is less than nine, but will always be greater than two. At times we compare scenarios and dilemmas in order to fuel us with resolutions. But is this always healthy? How much does relativity damage the freedom of exploring our originality?



Relativity of Generations- How fair is it to compare the economy, entertainment, comfort levels and convention of generations that span a good old three decades? There is no harm discussing the progress or decline of our planet; But isn't it fruitless to keep living in non-existent generation? Well, believe me such individuals DO exist! They live every single day disappointed with change, relative to their childhood. Like the seasons, change is inevitable. Its only a futile quest to try and keep the atmosphere as it was in 1979. How absurd is it for seniors to expect children to desire similar standards of living as they did decades ago? Its a very common and unfortunate scenario in my vicinity. Its nothing to do with religion and everything to do with holding onto traditions that are unquestionably decaying.


Relativity of Societal Classes- The thirst for power is undoubtedly insatiable. The Middle class are struggling to leap to the Upper class while the Poverty-stricken are dreaming of escalating to the Middle class. In life we consider 'better' a zone that is either higher or more comfortable to where we sit right now, although this maybe less agreeable to someone at a more contented level. There are some with an insatiable appetite to get richer, look better, obsessed with popularity and fame; This isn't a crime. No. In fact, self- evolution is the key to a more refined society. However, should there be an unconscious scale in our minds comparing ourselves to other individuals? As for other side of this tale, have you ever met anyone who is simply pleased with exactly who and what he/she is at any given point in time? You can try convincing them how much more potential they got reserved, and they would tell you they are simply grateful not to be living in the slums or starving in Africa!


Relativity of Religion- Makes You sigh doesn't it? Throughout the ages, there is little doubt how religion itself has been a major cause in emanating clashes within and amongst various societies. As much as our cyberspace era is accelerating networking, paradoxically the subject of adversity among religions would sadly last till Doom's Day. Apart from Inter-religion relativity how about Intra-religion Clashes? Its simply amazing how individuals have such strong clasps of estimation on levels of Faith. To the monotheists- Isn't it for the Almighty Himself to judge what lies in our hearts?


These are only a few of the major avenues in this pragmatic issue. Every single aspect of your life can be scaled to another Sensibly how worthy are all these measurements? To what degree is this inevitable analogy ruining the indulgence of our lives? Is it remotely possible for You to draw any conclusion without this element of comparison?


46. You, Yourself and Thou  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in


Value and respect your beautiful mind and body. Your soul has YOURSELF to rely on 24/ 7/ 365 until infirmity do you part. There is more than a generation we can leave behind this world. Make your existence Momentous. You DO have the potential. Relish every moment of good health and Life.. For you never know if tomorrow never comes!

45. Your Choice  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , , ,




It's better to be temporarily single than be permanently in Love with someone who neither appreciate nor deserve You!



After I updated the above on Twitter I received an unbelievable response, some also via email. As much as some agreed there were others who misunderstood the depth of the point. Hence, I decided to give you an explanation it deserves.


Please note- When I write, its neither based on movies nor on stories I was narrated. Instead it is constructed purely on my experiences and observations in my vicinity. In this case, I speak on behalf of those individuals, mostly females, who are suffering in silence. Not necessarily abused physically; Rather on behalf of those who portray a pretty rosy serene picture to the world outside their reality.


There are too many women who sacrifice their happiness on behalf of their parents, husband and finally children. Its an unbelievable vicious cycle that only stops as she departs this world. A permanent life long sacrifice all in the name of Love? It simply can't be fair. It only leaves me baffled with the reality hidden behind that meticulously attempted smile they wear to their conventional society. What's even more alarming is the magnitude of hope these women have in store. They feel its one step forward to wait, not to realize it recoils two steps behind. They believe someday they may be appreciated for all their patience. Patience till WHEN? is my question.


I believe there comes a point, when you don't deserve any more mental agony, any more emotion handicap, when you should become more pragmatic and stop day dreaming of that day which has taken way too long already to arise. It may simply be that tone which cannot be molded to a more respectable version. When You are being mistreated over and over again- It simply SHOULD change. There are more women than you can ever imagine who live in a fantasy that someday life may evolve drastically for the better. Changes in personality requires time and effort. It never happens overnight in real world. You try your utmost to grow together until you deplete your strength. Beyond that it's simply futile. Like I mentioned in Post 43 ~ Love is an essential entity everyone needs till their last breathe, despite some too victimized via bitter experiences to admit this.

So let us hope that everyone would be true to their hearts and seek that which they deserve!


44. God's Guidance  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,


Dear God, Please bless us to perform the "Best" of every opportunity that comes our way and the wisdom to recognize them. Forgive, guide and grant us eternal serenity. YOU are the only reliable compass of our lives.

43. The Recovery  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,




Going through a post- break up Syndrome? Well, You are still awesome! Don't let the break up demon consume the BEST in You. After all, it already broke a bond you created, shared and valued. Dust it off. You owe the optimism to yourself. Its never easy if you had genuinely put in the extra effort in creating that covalent bond, tolerating warts and nursing wounds. As you recover you would be amazed how much strength you still have saved deep within your soul. It only makes you a more tolerant soldier in the bittersweet war we sugar-coat as love.


Remember, at this point your age simply does NOT matter! You maybe 19, 47 or 69; You still deserve to turn over a new leaf. A fresh start, another chance to be appreciated. Believe in yourself and be determined, once again you will be blessed with a worthy palm to hold and a warm shoulder to cry on. Everyone deserves to be loved and admired. Remember, nobody from Adam to Doom's Day will ever be perfect. Love is neither limited by age nor external beauty. It is an essential entity everyone needs till their last breathe, although some maybe too victimized via bitter experiences to admit this. May everyone be loved for the right reasons.

42. Your Passion  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,










If you don't find happiness despite Success, You still haven't found your passion. When your passion and career fuse, You have found Earth's Heaven.

41. God's Love  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,


Its absolutely a relief to realize how God awaits our return for His Love, Mercy, Blessings and Forgiveness. At times we may have turned ignorant and ungrateful while He kept sustaining us; But what truly makes God Him is the mere fact His arms are always wide open welcoming us. So lets not ever under-estimate the magnitude of His infinite Love and depth of His forgiveness. He is the One worthy of ALL praise.

40. Inertia - The enemy.  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in




Every now and then, after planning to undertake a task, you were unexpectedly held back by some insidious friction.These maybe neglected chores, extra time spent online or a new comedy that magnetized your attention stealthily. How much do we let these friction demons abduct minutes and hours away from our precious schedules? What's even more crippling about this weakness is the fact we make such attractive excuses and pamper them!



The next time you and I set a goal, lets beat out those little inertia mischief-makers. Often they brush out the most active segment of the day. It's ironic how we frequently realize how much time was wasted on those recycle bin entities only after we drain out our peak energy for the day. Let's try to live more disciplined and have less regrets.

39. People and Books  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in










Let's neither judge books via their covers or readers nor individuals via their attire or geography. Instead let's seep into their substance and discover their unique capabilities and possibilities.

38. Righteousness  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,









The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind while righteousness from your heart spreads three-dimensionally in all directions.

37. God's Filters  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,







Conceal your weaknesses as God screens them from the open until you remove His filters Yourself.

36. Beauty  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,









External beauty may fade away with time, while internal beauty develops with wrinkles and is only recognized by those who deserve to relish it.

35. Your Journey  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,










Remember God never tests You via anything intolerable or sans answers. When Life gets challenging it only makes You stronger soldiers, although You may not understand its purpose at that moment.

34. Contentment  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,






Your Heart is a vessel that needs to be filled. It would feel utmost content when you fill it naturally with genuine Faith.

33. You are Special  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,











You are an extra-ordinary creature with capabilities beyond your fondest imagination.

32. Just a tad  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,










Success requires a tad of narcissism.

31. Faith  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,








The Best days of your life are YET to come if only you believe!

30. Your Purpose  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,


Despite all of us emanating from the same amniotic constituents, it is fascinating how the compass of our lives propel us towards diverse highways.

29. Till Death Do You Apart  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , , , ,







Your parents, siblings, relatives, friends, lover, spouse or children may leave you anytime abruptly either accidentally, unexpectedly or inevitably; But life must go on. In the midst of all life's calamities, the only reliable entity over which you have some control over is your Career. Give it your 100% attention and commitment. If you nurse and pamper your livelihood, you would neither regret nor ever be disappointed.



May that career be fused with your passion and bring you eternal bliss in good times and in bad, in joy as well in sorrow, for as long as you shall live.

28. The Dynamism of Our Thoughts  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , ,





Never fear expressing your fruitful thoughts. You have everything to gain in finding the courage to articulate your brainchild. If you procrastinate this translation of thoughts into words you may enter a dangerous comfort zone in a mute solitary world of your own. Days, months and years would slip away until you would transform into a pile of treasured silent ideas and views trapped in an unexplored dysfunctional cave distant from your own delivery.


You are more substantial than you ever estimated. Voice your thought before time cripples the music within your exclusive mind. The world can't afford to lose you.

18. Is Your Destiny Inevitable or an Excuse?  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , , ,


Wherever in the globe you maybe seated right now, you probably heard “it wasn’t meant to be” at least once in your lifetime. If this is 100% true, aren’t we victims to mental captivity with very little space to explore the infinite possibilities of our talents, interests and creativity?



What exactly is destiny (aka Fate, Karma, Kismet)? If it was “destined” an individual was “meant” to become an engineer someday, does this mean he would inevitably choose that particular avenue regardless how much effort he applies during his academic phase? Does a child born in the slums have to permit her "destiny" to force her to remain in that environment forever instead of trying hard to seek a more comfortable life? It’s ironic how we give ourselves a pat on the back when we succeed, while we conveniently label failures as an effect of Kismet. How much authority do you in reality, have over this unpredictable journey we call life? If all life’s events were already pre-planned doesn’t that make us nothing less than programmed robots with hearts living aimlessly without emotional liberty? This constant Tug-of War between our goals and Fate throws us into a dilemma compelling us to make a diligent decision. Do you choose to simply lie back in slumber and wait for Karma push your buttons or would you rather take responsibility of your life and use that phenomenal brain to make you noteworthy?


All classic men and women of time, without a shadow of doubt, faced challenges chaperoned with antagonism and enmity. The distinction in their struggle is their admirable courage against permitting anyone to trample their dreams and passion. They imagined beyond what they heard and chose to dye actively trying rather than keep living passively without finding their the avenues to their goals. The world would not be advanced and developed as it is today if all those great icons didn’t strive to make a difference. They didn’t wait for destiny to sweep them off their feet, rather they paved their pathway perspiring.


Step out of the bubble of convention and be original. You are more capable than you realize. The world needs your committed dedication. All your failures and success, whether you accept it or not, contribute to our future beyond your imagination. We were all born with at least one unique talent. It’s your responsibility to discover and mould it to a work of art. Don’t give destiny as an excuse for lethargy. Instead, make your existence significant. To those of you who believe in God, simply ask yourself one question, “would God be pleased with me if I took his blessings (your talents) for granted?”.

07. Metamorphosis  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,


As each infant outgrows her dependency phase, she glides into the initiation of diverse encounters along an individual highway. Involuntary gestures and inconspicuous events along this voyage may paradoxically revolutionize into some of the most valuable and treasured moments. As the end of one facet unfolds into the beginning of another, eventually we evolve into unique irreplaceable creatures as we become what we encounter....

05. An Analytic Observation  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,



I recollect the following memory with a comforting smile of achievement. Quite often the most serene, exciting and extraordinary moments encounter us via spontaneous impulses.


It was New year’s Eve. My friends and I were enthusiastic on a sudden invitation for dinner on a boat. We were anticipating the mid-night mid-sea chill, an experience most of us hadn’t met within our double decade life spans.

As we entered the port, a breeze of dĂ©jĂ  vu tingled across my mind with a boat ride in Dubai, the previous year. I stood at the port’s edge and contemplated the water encircling us. Alas! The zenith of my momentary dĂ©jĂ  vu tumbled. Instead of a crystal clear aquatic view I saw haunting black waves printed with floating green algae. Within ten minutes we were aboard and sailing. The salty cold sea breeze that prickled our faces and hair was breathtaking. The stereophonic music system was roaring louder than the hyperactive New Year waves. Lights were occasionally blinking from distant lighthouses. We stood at the edge of the boat and glanced across the aquatic view; silently hoping no unexpected storm should end our juvenile stories.


The water’s unpleasant odor was a vexation we couldn’t ignore. As the wind blew to and fro she brought the putrid essence. Disposal of oils from industries and sewage dumps caused the discoloration. Occasionally, we saw empty cans and bottles floating, undoubtedly littered by previous careless visitors. The overall ambient atmosphere of the vicinity was unfortunately unhealthy and unpleasant, both air and water pollution encircling every drop around us.


It was 10:30 pm. We were hypoglycemic after entertaining each other with memorable childhood stories. It was indeed a unique fusion of encounters and experiences flowing from Maldives, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Palestine and Bangladesh. The chefs aboard made every possible effort to grill an appetizing cuisine, from barbecued prawns to freshly caught crabs. Our taste buds were tranquilized after months of harsh treatment by the unpalatable dorm food. Finally it was time for the long awaited countdown. 2007! A moment of mixed feelings. How often are we sprinkled with a New Year ornamented with a sea breeze? Within hours we sailed back to the port.


The following weeks I had flashbacks of that night; the most peculiar thought was the polluted water flooding my mind. It was absolutely inexcusable to allow the Port’s hygiene to reach such a pathetic state. There should be sound legislation by the local municipal Council to maintain a higher pristine level. Visitors should sign a petition agreeing not to litter during the boat ride. As medical students, we enlightened the responsible authorities of the bitter reality of this port, once a tidy admirable merger of nature and recreation.

04. Your Heart  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , ,










The greatest tranquility of your heart is found when you discover the oasis of peace within your soul.

03. One Friday  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,






As I found my way down the stairs of yet another Friday morning on my way to the Neurology lecture, a thought froze my already static mind, saturated with Pathology I unfolded last night. Despite being encircled by numerous monotonous individuals of the same concentration, somehow I kept recognizing myself as an eccentric island. Why do a few of us mentally refuse to release our original instincts and participate in the kismet of normality? Perhaps this unconscious mechanism of self- conservation is nature’s way to emanate peculiar creatures of wilderness, separate from the herd.

02. I'd Rather  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in ,







I'd rather empathize than dissect,
I'd rather listen than prescribe,
I'd rather paint than dictate,
I'd rather run to the cripple than watch him crawl for help,
I'd rather superficially observe than make one deep incision,
I'd rather be mediocre at things I cherish than be a perfectionist at things that bore me,
Id rather live a short life with one who understands than have longevity with a million acquaintances.

01. The Reality of a Chosen Odyssey  

Posted by Dr. Dheena Sadik in , , ,



As I gazed across my Surgery book towards the open window, I remember the icy cold wind tingled my face. It felt so permanent, as though it would last forever, until unpleasant memories of the furnace hot summer limited the pinnacle of that moment.



College. So much substance and innumerable ingredients. All the variety of sharp observations, upright lessons, rich experiences and of course unforgettable memories. I recall my milestone days as a fresher. Alas! Those were not luscious constituents of my quest. From unpalatable salty hard water to sand-storm garnished air at fifty four degrees in blazing summers; All we could wish was the silent winter, until I was surprised to notice my frost-bitten, blue numb nails one Monday morning; Proving to myself I was still an amateur to life's new encounters cascading in coordination with every sunrise.


The mere fact of living with individuals your own age. Neither wise old grandparents encircling us with highly orthodox limitations nor the genuine cry of a newborn nephew who stepped into the enigmatic society. In reality, was I deprived of those experiences which are essential interlocking pieces to the jigsaw puzzle of life? Or in contrary, did I harvest more than I sowed the past half decade? I reckon certain scenarios are more feasible left miscalculated, when your instincts sense negative variables in the conclusive equation.


Unity in diversity was the parchment icing for the complicated cake we baked. Honestly, it wasn't a fantasy bed, decorated with dew drops on rose petals, to sail aboard a ship of a variety of over a double dozen citizens. Was it essential to elect a captain for the crew? Eventually despite the common odyssey, in reality we were cruising towards individual ports of our own ambitions.


Sizzling soccer matches, heated debates and quadriceps throbbing musical concerts, uplifted us to fly without wings. Sitting back at home one lethargic evening during a summer vacation, I felt the inertia crawling exponentially. Beyond a shadow of doubt, even seven decades later, despite all the unimaginable technological advances accomplished, I can't persuade myself of the possibility of a time machine which could rejuvenate all that seasoning.


Chronologically, as our cytoplasm advances to maturity, we realize a quiet bird in our palms is more tangible than a lovely couple chirping in the clear blue sky. I am contented by this bittersweet voyage, which conclusively added a unique aroma and flavor to my life's sunshine garden. I'd probably be a hypnotized zombie living in monotony unless Sind awoke the latent extrovert who was hibernating in disguise within me.
