On productivity and medicine.

A few days ago, I assisted in changing the surgical dressings of three patients in our hospital, all of whom had sustained terrible injuries from horrific road traffic accidents. The first patient was a man in his 30s who had been on a trip to Punjab in a pickup truck when a truck collided with…

It’s been about 15 days of Ortho. Around 1/6th of the whole 3 months duration of the ward. They took us to a picnic this past Sunday, and was such a fun experience. There’s free food every now and then, and even though might be a small thing, it just helps keep the motivation alive.…

And it wasn’t that bad. I got to choose Ortho-1 as my pick for the first ward, since others weren’t left at my turn. But the ward is much better than expected. While the living conditions aren’t ideal, the postgraduates and faculty are really welcoming and nice, and I’ve got my friends with me!! I…

Life was easier as a kid, it’s more exciting as an adult. However, sometimes, I realize that I might not be the best at the things I do, regularly. Despite being a lot better than I was at things a few years ago, I still get overwhelmed with the things I have to do. It’s…

Yesterday and today were one of the most productive days in a while. I did not conquer the world, or work for eight hours straight. But there’s this really good thought that I came across in this article ““101 Additional Advices” by Kevin Kelly. (Full disclosure, I came across this article on Tim Ferris’s 5-Bullet Friday, one of…

I did the unthinkable. Stopped writing as much. However, I have been doing a lot of the habits I started. Working out, mainly. I worked out for more than a week consistently. And was able to deliver several freelance articles to client. Yes, the blog fell a bit silent, but I think I was a…

Some may find the very simple appearance of the website weird. Abhorring, even. Especially these days when it isn’t hard to design a more aesthetically pleasing webiste. Why DID I CHOOSE THIS 2000s DESIGN THEN? I hate to break it to you, but the answer isn’t some deep philosophy about me being a minimalistic at…

I’ve been averaging more than 10 thousand steps, and sometimes much more over the past few days. Have been going to the gym to lift weights consistently, and it’s been so nice. Of course things will get tougher as I resume with “life”, since housejob starts around May, but I will try my best to…

It’s cathartic, cleansing my mind. I did not post anything yesterday, but I found out something invaluable. It’s not writing on the blog that makes a difference, but writing in general. I had a few articles I needed to write for a freelance client of mine, that had nothing to do with me, or my…

I listened to the first five chapters of the “Atomic Habits” audiobook today (update: I was able complete it by night), a book that’s hyped so much by a lot of people I follow, and I found out why. While I haven’t read most of the book yet, I’ve already begun extracting value out of…
