the world is my sruti box, cept x. this site is...terrible. twitter was too. if you spend a lot of time here, i probably don't trust you. find me somewhere else
I mostly tweet things related to medicine but music is its own wonder-medicine and if you want some true healing of the soul, follow my Berklee-UCLA-Harvard educated musician and PhD student little sister and listen to her music
@ganavya
generally staying off x but thanks to my gentle sister
@RahmanKhatija
I learnt there are kind words being said here— reading them slowly, (I’m tired of English) thank you all, for this to be the first song I sing in my own language in film… all I can say is there is only love ♥️
dear sunthar, it is my absolute honor. if it made space for your heart to be in peace if just for a moment it all would have been worth it for me, thank you for writing 💛🙏
In all that has been said over the past few weeks, I hope that we constantly remind ourselves that supporting incredible Tamil art/creators starts with us. We exist. We thrive. We rise. Tonight, this album is healing some of the wounds. Thank u
@ganavya
! 💛
I learnt this song recently, but I don’t speak sylheti. I translated it to Tamil (full video on ig) but if you speak
#sylheti
, would you be willing to help me sing the words? 🤍🙏🏾

@DoctorVig
. it's been a while. i'm sure it was hard for you to be a doctor without my brilliant twitter help, sorry. had to pack up alll my belongings and put it in a storage unit, though i did arrange the unit to look like a bedroom. anyway, what do you need help with now?
my friend defended her thesis yesterday and this is the song that came to mind... the book of love by magnetic fields (with a few small word changes)
@DoctorVig
hey
@DoctorVig
! happy dad's day! i may not be an aunt through you yet, but your sense of humor is ahead of its time. and by that, i mean because you're already making terrible dad jokes. they're just... terrible. yeah.

hi
@DoctorVig
, here to say that i can also you advise you on fantasy football this morning.
as you know, i did not have a devilish older brother who taught me the rules of fb in reverse so he could unlock nintendo madden 97 codes while i thought i was winning. (its in the game)
hi there,
@ezranayagam
nice to meet you. you know i'm not on twitter a lot and miss most notifications but someone saw this one and would like to personally inform you...
it's coming out next month or so ❤️😆
ask and the spirit gives!

@SaraNAhmed
hey
@DoctorVig
. just your daily reminder that doctors need to take care of themselves, too. make sure you're eating (not taco bell), sleeping. i know your religion doesn't allow showering, but you know, try. it could be nice.
@apisha2000
Dear
@apisha2000
, I went back into the studio after a few years. Made an album in one evening. I had just read your Tweet, so I was singing La Vie to myself softly before the session... the kind sound engineer turned the mic on, and now it'll be on the album. This one is for you.
@vivek_murthy
It's 2AM and I am about to wear the same N95 for the 4th day in a row. Not quite sure how well it's going to work at this point, but this is just where we are at right now.

Anna look we are colleagues. also Amma w the savage cuts, re essay in the background: “oh look once upon a time his handwriting was legible!” 😎🥸😜🤪😂😌🤍🎯
good morning,
@DoctorVig
. i see you having medtwitter scrambling to answer a case that presents not dissimilarly to cadmium poisoning. just coming in to make sure you checked for cadbury poisoning. lucky you have me. you're welcome! (+ here's that terrifying scene from matilda)
ignore the first sentence i bribed him years ago, he's under contract to say ridiculous things. second half, ye twitter followers who are here even though i explicitly told you i only use this account to tweet at my brother. halp
My musical prodigy and gifted writer of a sister is often traveling the world performing or doing musical fellowships and other such things.We used to play simple video games together and we're wondering if there is any online/browser-based game we could play together. Thoughts?
hello
@DoctorVig
. i heard you're having some trouble with ferritin reference ranges. once again, i refer you to the completely foolproof way of asking someone to bite their fingers and extend to see if nails turn white. this is clinically proven to be best way to identify anemia.
@DoctorVig
@Residente
@Calle13
hi anna... you're sweet-- the song won, yes. not sure what the technicalities behind it are. but residente is most deserving. love you
morning
@DoctorVig
! i see you answering quizzes on twitter. you miss school that much?
anyway, re: dimorphic populations, looking at cells is one way of identifying anemia. here's an equally scientific one: pt. bites fingers. pt. extends fingers. nails white? pt. anemic.
I’ve gone through
@ganavya
’s album twice over tonight (and counting). It’s moved me to tears each time. Thank you for bringing this light into my life.

...but to write in the language is still too new. here is to hoping to sing with many voices as possible, languages as possible, and for there to be strong creative roads between all in south asia and for US representation to show its true diversity in life, language, love /2
hi! do you remember which one? I opened with an improvisation of two poems held together; second was... kandiya akul hoilum, which i translated to tamil as nadhi kara oram, and third was 500 miles by peter paul and mary which i translated to tamil as well

@zachbraff
Hey. You're the reason I try harder every day. I love you a lot, and I'm grateful that you find joy in these things. You're just such an amazing person, I don't know how you do anything you do, I'll always make FunkoPops for you. Thank you for being my big brother this life time.

@ChristleNwora
sir i'd like to point out that like most aspects of my personality, i pretty much copied and pasted you for the first coupla decades AND clearly that is YOUR handwriting on the JH + symbol so I'd say that is your ID with my picture
hi everybody, i've been listening to
@ThePretendGM

@AlfredoBrownGM
and
@DoctorVig
(who you may all know as big brother, victim of all ganavya tweets) and i am learning many things about football, like how there is something called fantasy football, mebe ull like it tooo
between appa dancing bachata (?) and you admitting this in text, life is quite full. (haha hi
@snigdhasur
! yes, he did def do the carrot bit. also: taught me football in reverse so i thought i was winning in madden 97 when he was winning, so he could unlock codes...ah sigh)
@snigdhasur
@NoraKAli
@ganavya
Yup. The one and only
@ganavya
on the planet. She's the cooler and smarter sibling.
If you ever need to reach her (she never checks her twitter), I can be your in!
@sunnydrums
oy sunny. just got home. opened twitter to see what nonsense my brother
@DoctorVig
is up to these days. saw your tweet. it's 11:37pm. cravings hitting hard. going to make sambar. well, now it's 11:38pm i guess

@DoctorVig
hey anna et al. our not-so-baby amazing cousin krsna just released a beautiful song called piravi. does k have twitter? dunno. but he does have a growing fanbase of teen girls, according to an IG live i saw. very mixed feelings bout that... 😅
@DoctorVig
@AdamLikesFF
yes, i would love to. also maybe stop telling people i am good at things last night i ate chocolate after brushing my teeth, we need to set low expectations here
@davidshoremd
@DoctorVig
i mean i love being an intrusive pain in his ass, so obv my answer is yes, but what's the intervention for? doesn't matter. i'm in
@DoctorVig
3) glad you're using a gif from a movie whose message is actually about healthy work/life balance to talk about having a supportive place to work

@DoctorVig
! this is the President of All Medicine speaking. have decided that from now on, doctors will not wear white coats. white is a TERRIBLE choice for folx (a) constantly walking around facing risk of fluid exposure and (b) who are expected to always somehow look clean.
