MINDtalk with Rai, Lahore (2025)

Six years ago, I came to this country on my own. And now… just look at these photos 🥹😍✨

This summer didn’t go as planned. We have been stuck in a cycle of sickness for nearly a month. Holidays got cancelled, plans scrapped, and honestly, it’s been a bit of a chaos.

But even with all that, here’s the thing: we are still together. Still laughing (in between arguments lol). Still celebrating a little piece of our childhood, but this time without fear, without pressure and without constantly worrying about money or what other people think.

Home finally feels like a place we want to be not a place we are just surviving in. And for that, we are beyond grateful 🥺♥️ Finally after weeks we have started to feel a lot better and we went for a dinner on this weekend 🫶

Sharing a bit of happiness and chaos of our lives with you all & praying may your all prayers are answered too 🥹🫶

None of the pictures are perfect but they were never meant to be. Instagram was supposed to be about real moments blurry smiles, real-life backdrops, spontaneous adventures, and imperfect joy. A place where we didn’t need filters to validate our lives, just shared experiences. It was made to connect us with people who could see our happiness in those raw, unfiltered moments. But somewhere along the way, it shifted into something curated, polished, and performative.

Maybe it’s time we remember what made it special in the first place and once in a while, let our Insta be filled with the raw, messy, blurry moments that make us whole ✨📸

✨More Photo Album than Pinterest board ✨

Had the most amazing day at the beach with the fam and did you spot someone special when you swipe? 🥹♥️

Our poster won 1st Prize! 🏆 🤩
I absolutely cannot believe it, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting it (yes, yes… imposter syndrome). That’s why I didn’t even freshen up before the prize announcement! 🙈😁

This post is your reminder to start somewhere—attend a conference, and soon you’ll be presenting at the next one, maybe even winning a poster prize before you know it!

I am so damn proud of myself! But we should always give credit where it’s due, Thank you, .salah94 , for all your help ✨ I’m so glad I asked if you wanted to join, and here we are winning a prize! 🤩

Also, a massive thank you to everyone who approached me, met me, and made me feel like a celebrity *blushing* hehe ☺️ It was an absolute pleasure meeting each one of you, and I hope we stay in contact ✨ This is what I love most about this account, it connects me with so many of you and gives me the opportunity to help 🥹

Last but not least, I don’t even have enough words to thank you, but just know you are a gem and an amazing mentor ✨

I am so happy, proud and in my girl boss era ✨🏆

Trust me, it will all slowly fall into place. The things that once seemed impossible or even fictional will become reality..
all you have to do is keep working hard and be patient 💛

Specially, If you’re a new mom, I’m telling you, it’s hard in so many ways. And yes, I know you absolutely love your children and couldn’t imagine a world without them—same here. But it is also true that it is hard and if you don’t have family around to help, it’s even harder 🫣

But hey, listen! It will all fall into place. You will find your routine again. You will get back to doing the things you love. And this time? You’ll have a tiny cheerleader rooting for you every step of the way 💪🏻

Honestly, attending conference was such a pinch-me moment. The surge of motivation I felt to study harder, pass my exams, and return to the Royal College for my graduation ceremony was unmatched! Medicine is tough, but knowing you’re not alone in this journey…being surrounded by others who get it.. makes all the difference.
The herd always inspires and motivates ✨

Swipe to see some magic 🥹🪄

These postcards are a reminder that no matter how different our journeys may be or how difficult life feels at times, if we don’t give up, God will show the way. And trust me, that path will be brighter than we ever imagined ✨

Would love to hear something about you or your journey in comments 💛

Save this for your Next Trip to London 🎡

We started the new year in the best possible way! Alhamdulillah ×10! The best part was “being together” because growing up has taught us that no matter what, siblings will always have our back. I hope and pray that this year brings happiness, peace, and joy into our lives! ✨

A few suggestions for your next London Visit:
🥐 Gail’s bakery southbank gives the best background of London eye while sipping the yummiest coffee 😁
🥮Tiramisu from EL&N is a must try!
🍰 Milk pistachio cake with Spanish latte from Caffe concerto, Covent Garden.
🍦Amorino Soho is my favourite ice cream spot!!
🍔Shake Shack Covent garden is Halal btw
🥘 If you are near London eye and want to eat affordable Halal food then do try Shah’s Halal Food. (It’s a take away).
🚡 IFS Cloud Cable Car costs only £6 pp (one side) and is a must!
🎨 Head to Leake Street to see jaw dropping graffiti. This street is about 300 metres long, runs off York Road and under the platforms and tracks of Waterloo station.
🏨 Try to book hotel near to central otherwise you will end up paying more on commute. Do check Travelodge and premier inn sites as they don’t show up on booking.com.

Drop your suggestions and love in the comments 🤩

If they make you feel extra or too less, or judge you by your dress, or the joke you crack is always either silly or stupid, or your lil things don’t make them excited, or they don’t uplift you, celebrate you, and make you feel truly seen and valued then trust me, honey, you aren’t the problem! The problem is that you are sitting at the wrong table with the wrong people!! They might not necessarily be bad people, but even if someone is good, it doesn’t mean your energy has to definitely match with theirs! Choose your tribe carefully ❤️

I’m blessed to have people in my life who, despite our busy end-of-the-year schedule, managed to throw a birthday party for me, and I am loving the gift 😭😭❤️

🔖Below paragraph is for my friends so feel free to skip=
The secret gift sender,I am pretty sure is .khalid.malik so thank you for all the efforts and gifts 🎁 And thanks for offering to leave kids at your place otherwise, we would have had to postpone even further, and of course, the car jamming session was therapeutic 🫂 Thank you for always being there and encouraging me to overspend and also for telling me where to save 😂🙈 Thanks for picking up such a beautiful ring 💛 Big thanks to for bringing joy and beauty to the table ✨ you are so innocent, honestly, and it is always a pleasure to be around you 💜 Gul, it’s not easy to manage coming with a newbie, so thank you for all the efforts. And we missed you and your joyful company ✨

November... you haven’t been good to me! Well... I don’t know where to start or what to say, but I’ll try 💛

I was so excited for November...and why wouldn’t I? It’s my
birthday month! Despite having an exam booked, I had my
hopes high and had so many little things planned for myself..
but since November started, my mood started to dip. Initially,
I thought maybe it was exam stress, and I also blamed the
weather change, so I grabbed some Vitamin D! My mood
hasn’t been great since the start of November, but I was very
preoccupied with the exam. After the exam, I noticed that my
mood was very low, and before I could figure out anything,
the allergic reaction was the last straw that knocked me
down.

Now, I know if you look at the pictures posted, you might
think, “Hmm, she looks pretty happy. She has friends, family,
a home, money, and all.” And this is why I wanted to share
this post because you can never tell what’s happening in
someone’s head unless you know them very closely!

Those who are close to me started noticing that I stopped
posting pictures of myself, and even here I wasn’t actively
posting reels. Even when I did post, I tried to avoid being in
them. Thank God I am a psychiatry resident; it took me no
time to realise that I am sliding into depression. I can’t stand
in front of the mirror for even a second because I see my
reflection as ‘ugly’. I did everything from journaling to going
for walks, talking to family, and talking to friends I trust and I
ended up identifying the pattern, started working on it, made
some really hard decisions, and have started to work on
some lifestyle changes and I’m hoping for a better and
beautiful DECEMBER! ⭐️

Bottom line, Be kind to people around you because you are
totally unaware of the battles they are fighting 💫
