The weather of nostalgia was written on 17th September 2017 when I was a PG aspirant. This holds a special place in my heart as it speaks of my struggle and the fire that kept me going. I hope it reminds you too of how capable you are!
Long cold wintery nights, the sound of the fireworks in the background, reminds me of someone I was not,
the painful bearer of my forever lurching dreams, the solo traveler of the deep dark roads leading the way of my nights,
I have not forgotten where I started or how far I have come, and I am forever grateful for these nights which brings a shiver down my spine,
reminding me of just how real it is to live through your dreams, for your dreams, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Rain is pouring down my windowpane as I write this, enjoying my hot cup of tea on this rainy Sunday afternoon. The plan was to launch this website as soon as I am done with my decade long journey in to medicine. When I will finally have some time to breathe, to catch up with life. When I will start building my practice, around the things I am passionate about, things that bring me joy and hopefully be able to add some value and meaning to the life of others in the process.
But what do you know? We are amidst the Pandemic of the millennium. The exams are being postponed. The healthcare system is breaking down. The world has literally stopped turning and so I thought why wait? This is something I have been meaning to do a long time, to be able to connect with more like-minded individuals, to build a supportive community and to gravitate personal growth. More than anything else I know it will help me to just keep GOING.
So here I am. Sharing with you, the purpose of this blog, what am I looking to achieve through this? Why am I here? And of course, feel free to join me along if any of our interests match! I would love for us to connect, have long conversations over coffee, become friends, and more importantly, be able to enrich each other's life. Here are some of my 'whys':
I love writing. I do. I truly and wholeheartedly love it. I used to journal my entire high school. I have then since written many articles, stories, blog posts, and so on. But all of my work is segregated and it's everywhere. I just want to compile everything and document important ones here. So you may find my dear diary moments, my everyday musings, travel stories, recipes, and the midnight writer's extraordinaire here and there.
As a soon-to-be Pathologist, I feel like it's my responsibility to share more about my profession. There is so much medical misinformation online and instead of just adding on to the noise, I want to be able to engage my audience in a safe space that allows for asking questions and have healthy discussions.
I want to be able to break myths around Pathology. Do you know what we do? What is Pathology? If not, then stay tuned. It is a fascinating world of medicine. Much like detective work.
I believe in education. To advocate for my patients. To advocate for me. I believe in education to empower those around me. And what better way to do that than this? This is my way of bringing everything I have learned over the years into digestible bits so as to empower you with knowledge and hopefully, help you make an informed decision, around your own health.
Last but not the least, I want to be able to showcase a side of me that not just a doctor. I am a daughter, a wife, a friend, someone who is constantly striving to do better, to become better, and is definitely, a work in progress.
If any of the things I said interests you, come and say hi. Until next time!
