Sean Connery - last days

 (one of my most fav actors) 

In 2020, Sean Connery spent most of his time in the Bahamas, away from the noise of the industry he had long since left behind. Living in a peaceful estate on New Providence Island, he preferred long walks by the sea, slow breakfasts in the garden, and classical music in the evening. His health had been declining steadily since 2017, when early signs of memory loss and limited mobility began to affect his independence. Yet, even as age took hold, Connery remained composed and dignified, choosing silence over struggle in public.

His wife, Micheline Roquebrune, stood by him every step of the way. Married since 1975, she became more than a partner. Through the quiet, fading chapters, she was his voice, protector, and daily companion. Their home had no constant stream of visitors, only the occasional presence of close family, his son Jason, some grandchildren, and a few longtime friends from his early theater days. Connery did not crave attention or nostalgia. What he craved was calm.

He began his days early, often rising with the first light, sitting by the open terrace, listening to the breeze rustling the palm trees. A caregiver helped with routines such as bathing, dressing, and gentle exercises to ease his stiffness. After breakfast, he often listened to jazz or read from his old collection of Robert Louis Stevenson books. He rarely discussed his past work. But when he did, he spoke about "The Untouchables" and "The Name of the Rose" with a sense of satisfaction. Those roles, he believed, had let him show something deeper than charm or strength.

As his condition worsened in 2019, communication became more difficult. He drifted in and out of clarity, sometimes staring for minutes before replying, sometimes waking up in the night disoriented. But the moments he recognized Micheline were beautiful. He would squeeze her hand, murmur French phrases they used in their younger days, or smile faintly at an old photo on the bedside table. In those moments, time folded in on itself, and the man who once stood tall as James Bond softened into someone deeply human.

He never liked hospitals. Even as he needed more assistance, he refused to be moved to any facility. "If I go," he once whispered to Micheline in early 2020, "I go from home." That became the unspoken rule. Nurses were hired for round-the-clock care, but his environment remained familiar, filled with sunlight, ocean air, and jazz echoing from the living room.

By the summer of 2020, Connery could no longer walk on his own. He was bedridden, his voice barely a whisper, his eyes often shut even when he was awake. Yet, on certain days, he reached for Micheline’s hand with surprising strength or nodded gently when Jason read aloud from one of his screenplays. These small gestures carried deep emotion. When asked once by his granddaughter what he missed most, he answered with a pause and then said, “Rain in Scotland.”

On October 31, 2020, at the age of 90, he passed away in his sleep, with Micheline sitting beside him, her hand resting on his. The house was quiet, filled only with the sounds of wind through the open windows and soft jazz playing from an old radio. Hours before, he had stirred briefly, opened his eyes, looked at Micheline and said, “You gave me peace.”

His final words were soft and clear, a whisper that held a lifetime of meaning. There were no flashing cameras, no crowd of mourners. Just family, love, and silence.

In his last days, Sean Connery embraced simplicity, love, and quiet far from the spotlight he once ruled.

EVERY TIME YOU SLEEP WITH A WOMAN, YOU TRANSFER POWER

 (Found on Facebook) (partially agree)

EVERY TIME YOU SLEEP WITH A WOMAN, YOU TRANSFER POWER — WHO'S WINNING?

A Brutal Post About How Careless Sex Is Weakening Men More Than They Realize

Most men don’t understand this…Sex is not just physical. It’s transactional. It’s spiritual. It’s energetic.

Every time you have s*x, especially as a man, Something leaves you. You’re either building your strength or draining it. You’re either transferring power or receiving poison. When you climax as a man, you don’t just release semen —
You release life force. The same drive that builds empires, creates inventions, and conquers nations — You’re releasing it into random women you don’t even respect. And you wonder why you feel tired, foggy, unmotivated…
Check your body count.

Some women carry peace. Some carry confusion. Some carry grace. Others carry destruction.

But when you’re lust-driven, you’ll sleep with anything in a skirt — And wonder why your life is going backward. Sex doesn’t just feel good. It plants seeds. You might be planting vision into the wrong soil.

That’s not just about sperm — it’s about power. The more careless you are with your sexual energy, the weaker your focus, your discipline, and your drive become.

Any man can chase women, but a real man controls himself. You may think it’s just a quickie, but you don’t know what demons she’s carrying.

Your greatest distractions will often be curves. If you’re not smart, you’ll trade your future for thighs. Every time you finish inside the wrong woman, you finish a part of your ambition.

The Strongest Men Aren’t the Most Sexually Active—they’re the Most Disciplined. Do you know what turns a man into a king? Not money, not women, but control. When you can master your urges, you can master your life.

If your penis controls you, You are not a man — you are a slave with WiFi.

Stop Empowering Women Who Do Nothing but Drain You. You’re investing your masculine power into a human distraction. And wondering why you're stagnant?

Before You Enter Her Body, Ask Yourself: What am I entering into? Is this going to elevate me or destroy me? Am I giving my power to a queen — or a crisis? Because every sexual act is not just about pleasure — It’s an agreement.

BOTTOM LINE: You’re a king. Stop acting like a stray dog. Preserve your energy. Value your seed. Respect your mission. Because every time you have sex, you transfer power.

Confession

After my first divorce, I was freaking out and was psychologically in a hurry to marry again.

Family friends introduced us to each other. He was a pretty average desi guy with a mediocre income. He was married once before to an Afro-American girl and had one daughter whom he met every weekend. I never asked, but I assume he married her for a Green Card.

Very soon after our marriage, I realized I couldn't live with this generic desi person! All of my evils came out. I didn't have any justification to call off the marriage. What I did was start behaving nasty to his mother. As I planned and suspected, he could not take my (nastiest of) nasty behavior with his mother. He divorced me! My plan worked.

But till today, I was unable to forgive myself. Once all evils lose suppression, a human can do anything - like what I did to his poor simple desi mother in everyday matters of life.

I don't even wish an enemy to put bare all evils when relationships are not working. It becomes very satanic.

Purpose

As Ralph Waldo Emerson says: "“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

Quote

Being a physician, from medical school days, I had to let go a lot of social pleasures, weddings, parties and events. Now it does not even bother me. It still reminds me a quote by one senior physician when we started clinical rotations in med school: 

"A cat that dreams to be a lion must first lose its appetite for rats"

Two philosophies on food in fridge

(My son was visiting from college)

"Dad, your fridge is always empty?"

"Yes, my son, I don't like to hoard food more than it's needed."

"If you ask Faraya Aani (aunt), she thinks the stuffed-packed fridge gives you a sense of being blessed by the Almighty, so don't complain about other things in life."

"I guess, we both are right!"

Childhood Memory

‏ابھی ڈسپوزیبل سرنج نہیں آئی تھیں تو محلے کے ڈاکٹر صاحب کیتلی کے کھولتے پانی میں ڈوبی سوئی کو چمٹی سے نکال کر اس ٹیکے پر لگاتے اور دوائی بھر کے تھوڑا سا ایک نکڑ کی طرف کر کے دو قطرے نکالتے اور کہتے 
" کاکا کچھ نہیں ہوتا سیدھا ہو جا "

شائد آپ بھی شاھد ہوں اس زمانے کے

Key to spousal relationship

 "What do you think, what you need as the key for spousal relationship?"

"Respect or love?"

"Those may be right answers at lower level, but what makes a relationship really meaningful and successful is to hold difficult conversation when situation arise with kids, values, relatives, in-laws, finances, porn, attention, nagging, perceived cheating and others."

*G P S, STORY*

(Names have been blocked out for the privacy)

Our dear friend SR, who lives just two blocks from us, originally hails from Lyallpur, a city renowned for its textile industry in Pakistan. SR comes from a prominent family deeply rooted in the textile business, much like Dr. NS family. SR has made a name in the industry, even in the USA.


SR visited his primary care physician a few months ago for a routine checkup. The results revealed that his hemoglobin A1C (Hgb A1C) level was elevated at 6.8, indicating prediabetes—a warning sign that caught his attention. His doctor delivered a straightforward ultimatum: either shape up, lose weight, and adopt healthier habits, or face the prospect of starting medication to manage his condition.

SR embarked on a business trip to Pakistan shortly after this appointment to oversee his textile operations. While there, he had an enlightening conversation with one of his factory managers, affectionately known as Chacha. Chacha A**** offered unconventional yet practical advice as they discussed food and health. “Sahib,” he said confidently, “just follow the GPS, and you’ll shed the weight in no time.” Puzzled, SR inquired, “What’s GPS?” With a chuckle, Chacha explained that it wasn’t a navigation tool but a simple dietary principle: avoid Grains, Potatoes, and Sugar—the “GPS” of unhealthy eating. He assured that sticking to this approach would yield results.

Intrigued by the idea's simplicity, SR decided to try it. Upon returning to Chicago, he committed to the GPS plan, cutting out grains like bread and rice, starchy potatoes, and sugary treats from his diet. The results were nothing short of remarkable. In just 10 weeks, he dropped an impressive 21 pounds. Encouraged by his progress, he set a goal to lose 33 pounds, steadily working toward it by faithfully adhering to the GPS method.

SR’s transformation left me in awe. It’s incredible how a straightforward shift in diet—avoiding processed carbs and sugars—can not only help shed unwanted weight but also potentially prevent chronic conditions like diabetes. It’s a powerful reminder that small, intentional changes can yield life-changing outcomes, steering us away from the pitfalls of junk food and sedentary habits.

I encourage you all to consider trying the GPS approach for yourselves. Share your experiences—whether a pound lost, newfound energy, or a healthier outlook—I’d love to hear your stories! 

 *Here’s to health, discipline, and the wisdom of Chacha A*****!*

Taste of Death

 (A text from a friend)

As you know, I am not a very religious person, and as usual I got the news of death of someone on one of my WhatsApp group. Someone commented with the Quranic ayat:


And for few days I kept thinking, why the word "Zaiqa"? Is death sweet or has a specific taste? or does it metaphorically mean that: Death is a good thing for every human?

Don't know my friend. I am crazy. Bewajah baton pe aen waen gor karain..

One small dream

 Saw Nana in my dream today.


Nana's house is full of people, as if some aftaari is happening. Guests are present as if Nana is hosting an Iftar party.

Nana is sitting in the TV lounge on his sofa, wearing a clean white shawar kameez and looking very healthy and happy. Nani is in the kitchen, and Mamu Shariq, his family, Musa, Mahrook, and I are all there.  

Mamu Waqar sat beside Nana on Nana's side of the sofa, and Nana smiled joyfully at him. And then nana asks him with a naughty smile, why do you look so weak and touches his legs and says 'lagta hai saray rozay rakh rahay ho, kamzor ho gaye ho'.

دامن پہ کوئی چھینٹ نہ خنجر پہ کوئی داغ



ہندوستانی وزیراعظم اندرا گاندھی نے 1975 میں ایمرجنسی لگا دی تھی ۔ اکیس مہینے کی اس ہنگامی حالت میں انسانی حقوق پامال کیے گئے ۔ اپوزیشن رہنماؤں کو جیل بھیجا گیا اور پریس کو پابندیوں کا سامنا کرنا پڑا ۔ ان حالات میں پندرہ اگست کو نئی دلی کے لال قلعے میں تقریب ہوئی ۔ وزیر اعظم اس مشاعرے میں موجود تھیں۔ کلیم عاجز نے اس مشاعرے میں اندرا گاندھی کی طرف اشارہ کر کے یہ شعر (دامن پہ کوئی چھینٹ نہ خنجر پہ کوئی داغ......... تم قتل کرو ہو کہ کرامات کرو ہو) پڑھا۔ شعر پر بہت داد ملی ،لیکن مشاعرہ کے منتظمین کا خون خشک ہوگیا ۔

دامن پہ کوئی چھینٹ نہ خنجر پہ کوئی داغ
تم قتل کرو ہو کہ کرامات کرو ہو

بکنے بھی دو عاجزؔ کو جو بولے ہے بکے ہے
دیوانہ ہے دیوانے سے کیا بات کرو ہو

Why Piku was a different move

Piku was a 2015 Indian movie with mega stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Irfan Khan and Deepika Padukone.

The reason I think everyone should watch this movie as it shows that love doesn't need to be an extravaganza show. It comes from every day's life gestures - so subtle sometimes - that you may even miss it!

You might have to watch this movie twice to understand those subtle gestures and dialogues. 

Naturally only Irrfan can do it!!!!

The Second Vulture

In the 1990s, a photo of a vulture waiting for a starving little girl to die so it could feed on her body was widely circulated.

This photo was taken during the 1993/94 famine in Sudan, by Kevin Carter, a South African photojournalist, who later won the Pulitzer Prize for this “incredible photo.”

However, while Kevin Carter was enjoying his achievement and being celebrated on major news channels and networks around the world for his “exceptional photographic talent,” he only lived a few months to enjoy his supposed success and fame, as he later suffered a breakdown and committed suicide!

Kevin Carter’s depression began when, during one of these interviews (a phone-in show), someone called and asked him what had happened to the little girl. He simply replied, "I didn't wait to find out after that flash, because I had a flight to catch..."Then the caller said, "I just wanted to make you understand that there were two vultures that day, and one had a camera."

So, Kevin Carter's constant thinking about this statement later led him to depression and he eventually committed suicide. He could have still been alive today and even much more famous, if he had just picked up that little girl after her photo and taken her to the UN Feeding Center, which she was probably trying to reach, or at least taken her to a safe place.

Today, unfortunately, this is what is happening all over the world. The world celebrates stupidity and inhumane acts, at the expense of acts of heart and bravery.

Kevin Carter should have taken the little girl away from that place, which would have cost him nothing, but he didn't.
This is the inhumane posture: "he had plenty of time to take his flash, but he didn't have time to save a little girl's life."
So, we all need to understand that the purpose of life is also to touch lives.

Are you also a vulture?

In everything we do, let us put humanity first, before what we can gain from the situation. In everything we do, always think of others and how we can be useful to humanity, how we can help them.

The Rashomon Effect

The 40 year old gentleman was in deep distress. His wife was massaging his left shoulder in a bid to alleviate his pain. 


Within the last 48 hours, he has met three different Doctors (Super- Specialists to be precise) and underwent an ECG, ECHO, MRIs of shoulder and Neck bone, and a battery of blood tests. The wife's hands were overflowing with the prescriptions and the Path Lab reports.

Being an IT professional, he has been suffering from Neck pain quite often.
Three days ago, the pain started to gradually shift to his left shoulder and arm. 

The patient googled his symptoms which indicated the possibility of an imminent Heart attack.
The couple had rushed to a local Doctor who performed normal blood tests and sent him to a Cardiologist. 

The Cardiologist thought it could still be a Myocardial ischemia and performed a 2D Echo Test. It turned out to be normal but to be on the safer side, he prescribed a low dose of blood thinners, Cholesterol medications and advised him to get an opinion from an Orthopedic Surgeon.

The pain was excruciating and the Orthopedic Surgeon being a Specialist in Keyhole surgeries, suggested that it could be a tear in the shoulder tendons since the patient was diabetic. He performed an MRI of the shoulder which was equivocal. 

He gave the patient some more medications and suggested that he meet a Neurologist ‘just in case’ it could be a nervous problem. 

After examination, the Neurologist too thought it could be Diabetes or viral Neuropathy based on the high Blood Sugar level.

He advised a few tests and an MRI of the Cervical Spine. 

Finally, it turned out to be a Slipped disc in the Neck Bone.

What we see here is a common Healthcare problem of late.
 
Every Super-specialist sees the patient and his symptoms, only from his specialized narrow perspective.

The clinical notes, investigations and disease Management are tailored to suit the Doctor's specialization.
 This is what is stated as *Rashomon Effect*

*Rashomon* was a famous movie directed by the celebrated Japanese Art-movie Director-
*Akira Kurosawa*

In this movie, a Murder scene is described by different witnesses from their own point of view. All their views, are very different from one another. But they all believed that they are speaking the truth, because it appears True from their own individual perspective.

Similarly every Medical Super-specialist has his own approach towards the patient, typically focused on the system in which he has specialized. 

Upper stomach pain is seen as Esophagitis by the Gastroenterologist, Angina by Cardiologist and as Costochondritis by the Orthopedic Surgeon.

If we look at their clinical notes and examination findings, it would match their diagnosis since their mind is wearing blinkers.

The Specialized mind fills the gaps based on his previous observations, specialized knowledge and myopic training.

With increasing Super- specialization, the patient is not seen as a whole, but only as an affected Organ.

The specialist falls prey to the *Rashomon Effect* and explains the patient's symptoms from the perspective of his own Super-specialization.

It is difficult to avoid this in future, since practitioners of General Medicine, are on the verge of getting extinct, thanks to current trends in Medical Education worldwide, there is a craze for Super-Specialists.

Please consult a good General Physician, before approaching any Super-Specialist in Medicine.

Unmarked Death

 It took me a long time to realized the burden of last few lines of  Leo Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilyich

And suddenly it became clear to him that what was tormenting him and would not be resolved was suddenly all resolved at Ollce, on two sides, on ten sides, on all sides. He was sorry for them, he had to act so that it was not painful for them. To deliver them and deliver himself from these sufferings. "How good and how simple," he thought.

{Leo Tolstoy died from pneumonia, aged eighty-two, at the railway station of Astapovo, a remote Russian village, on November 7, 1910. He had left his family home on October 28, in the middle of the night, to die as unmarked person}


Or, why  Thomas Hardy in The Mayor of Casterbridge quoted: 

 Michael Henchard's Will 

That Elizabeth-Jane Farfrae be not told of my death, 
or made to grieve on account of me. 
& that I be not bury'd in consecrated ground. 
& that no sexton be asked to toll the bell. 
& that nobody is wished to see my dead body. 
& that no murners walk behind me at my funeral. 
& that no flours be planted on my grave. 
& that no man remember me. 

To this I put my name. 
Michael Henchard

How many intellectual discussions end - without much to avail

(As described by a close friend)

I was explaining to a few friends of mine that this morbid fascination with death and the afterlife is unnecessary but oh how we love to dwell on it. Sadly, it’s so unnecessary because consciousness arises from brain activity and ends with brain death. Once our brain neurons finally die, our entire perspective about life or the afterlife quickly disappear, leaving nothingness, blackness… just like before birth we had zero recollection about our existence. In fact our brains are joke at birth, and it takes years to fully develop. 18 years on average!!! 


So this nonsense about heaven, hell and the prospect of life after death fades away with the last neuron flickering towards its end.

Meanwhile one of my friends, Mashooq Hussein, 61, who I thought was intently listening while puffing on a cigarette, pensively said “did you know there are two only types of jinns in this dunya, *regular jinns and londay baaz jinns* and so the conversation quickly ended and I looked at him, raised my right hand and gave him a solid lanath and said “thooo bhenrda” and we all laughed and sipped on tea and lit a cigarette. 

That was the end of that intellectual conversation.

Note: Gracias to Books and stilettos for providing update in comments: "This is "The Slave Market" by Jean-Léon Gérôme, painted in 1866: It depicts a scene in the Middle East or North Africa, the Barbary slave trade. It is an example of 19th-century Orientalist art. His paintings are located at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown.
