I can't get over how adorable this painting is!
The way he takes a moment amidst a fierce battle to watch her (with such admiration❤️) do her thing...
Sigh...
Surgery, simplified:
1. If it festers, lay it open
2. If it is gaping, sew it shut
3. If it is cancer, cut it out
4. If it bleeds, tie it up
5. If it doesn't, check the plumbing
6. If there are stones, take them out
7. Keep radio, anaesthesia and patho happy
Internal Medicine, Simplified:
1. Sprinkle water on or diurese it off
2. Make subjective interpretations of objective tests (trops, BNPs, VS, etc.)
3. Identify dying and stop the torturing
4. Sprinkle ABX on to kill germs
5. Figure out what the ailment is
6. Reassure

Don't think I can reproduce even this level of consistency now 😂
As the oxygen crisis worsens, it’s a good time to remember how important trees, plants, forests are. The very things we destroy in the pursuit of development. Never forget there was a Govt once in Mumbai that wanted to cut down thousands of trees in Aarey to build a metro shed!
ऊर्ध्वबाहुर्विरौम्येष न च कश्चिच्छृणोति मे।
धर्मादर्थश्च कामश्च स किमर्थं न सेव्यते।।
Up I raise my raise my arms and cry!
Nobody listens to me!
From Dharma come Artha and Kama
Why doesn't anybody heed this?

Wrote this poem during my Pediatrics rotation in internship 4 years ago. A kid with cerebral palsy had come in with pneumonia... I still remember his face...
Anybody who is feeling low levels of oxygen do try this please. Planting trees is the permanent solution, if you can’t then don’t cut them either, recycle your clothes, eat Vedic diet, live organic life, this is a temporary solution, for now this should help, Jai Shri Ram 🙏
Please mask up. Please don't behave like petulant entitled brats!
Seeing people being wheeled in with bad COVID day after day (when it is largely avoidable!) is not easy.
I don't care if you're bored/ fed up/ indifferent. Don't step out unless you have to!

Please do not promote vaccine hesitancy citing 'dhārmic' reasons.
The denominator may be huge, but that doesn't really make things better if you do end up being the numerator.
🙏🏻
A big shoutout to

If indeed, O Scion of Vṛṣṇi, there is a thing such as Dharma, You will surely fulfill all that was prophecied, O Kṛṣṇa!
-Kunti to her Nephew
(Udyoga Parva-90.68)
'Darling! Why do you perspire?'
'Tis your third eye's sweltering fire!'
'But why tremble so, my dear?'
'Lord, your neck's serpent I fear!'
'And these goosebumps that I see?'
'Ganga's sprays are freezing me!'
She who guards her feelings well
May she guard us all as well!
