This is the kind of patient feedback which makes everything that we do worthwhile. Incredibly proud of our wonderful residents at Tata Memorial Hospital Personally, I value this more than the high impact publications and presentations that most academics clamour about. Respect 🙏

It's 5.35AM. I'm staring at the place that taught us staring at our partner, road,animals, birds, lakes, or anything other than a screen, can actually be quite relaxing.

Mental health is not about being happy all the time. It's about learning to handle the full range of emotions. It's normal to feel grief after loss, anger at injustice, and fear in danger. Resilience lies in putting our feelings in perspective instead of letting them define us.

India's PhD program faces several challenges. One of them is students losing interest midway. What are the causes and the possible solutions? I ✍️ for The Hindu Thanks Sandhya Koushika for the idea and input! thehindu.com/education/doct… This is behind a paywall. DM me for a copy.

In my interview with The Hindu, I spoke about why many PhD students lose motivation: they’re often treated like data generators. We must nurture researchers who can write their own papers, think critically, design experiments with purpose, and defend their work with clarity.

Important statements here. I particularly like the underlying idea of putting the P back into the PhD - we need to create all-round thinkers with broader sensitivities.
