Post my recent role, I made a conscious choice of not taking up a full time job. 👊🏽👇🏽 I wanted to enjoy writing my book. 📕 I wanted to expand my experiences, working with different medical and scientific organisations and consultancies. 🧬 I wanted to be more present as a

Hearing young girls say 'they want to grow up to be an influencer.' Reminds me of a conversation at a checkout line at the mega grocery store HEB in Texas. 🛒 While in conversation, the young boy working at the counter says: Why would I want to go to school when I can make

In an interesting section of the book, where I am trying to break stereotypes associated with scientists. 📘 Remember the archetypal image of 'Dr. Boring'? The elderly, male, white man with a lab coat and eyewear, and grim demeanour? Well, real life scientists wear burqas or

From a 17 year old girl: I was confused between medicine and research. Then I spent a whole day reading, and found out that there is something called a 'physician-scientist'. When I read more about physician-scientists in India, I found you on the internet. More reasons why we

Ishan Tharoor asking Shashi Tharoor a question brought back memories of my son asking me a Q at the EMBO Lecture Course in Hyderabad. I was proud, and a little embarrassed, as my worlds as a moderator and mother came together. 😍👶 His Q: Can you self-fund a PhD? 🧪

Applied for a temporary visit visa to the UK. The entire process (collation of documentation, appointment, checklist) was handled by the global firm seeking my services. I only had to show up for the biometrics. 🇬🇧 Insane to think of how academics have to take this on

First video I saw today was returned delegate interactions with the Prime Minister. Across party lines, gender, caste, ethnicities, religions, languages and states. Our India, in all her glory. 🇮🇳

Near the closing of the first part of the book: 📘 I lived my dream of traveling the world. I lived my dream of returning to my country. I made tough professional decisions. I had pivoted career paths many times over. At each stage and for each role, I gave the opportunity my

Would you largely agree that religion has not influenced national medical policies in India? For example, contraception and abortion rights have been viewed sans the religious lens. Moving forward, how do you think India views/will view medically-assisted dying? ⚕️

After a busy weekend doing things I love to: family and food. ❣️😋 The key to making return to India work is to know what you are returning for and to keep making opportunities to do those things. 😍

Mentorship is not a quick fix or ‘panacea’, a substitute for hard work, or a guarantee of immediate success. A mentor's suggestions or advice are also not intended to be a dictatorial directive. Talking of mentors, role models and allies in the book. What they are. What they
