Hello everyone  In this first article of the BCT Series, I share a heartwarming incident that took place in a clinical setting, reminding me of the power of empathy and human connection. A Caffeine-Free Decision Let me preface this by mentioning a somewhat peculiar fact about myself – I avoid caffeine in any form for the past eight years. So, you can imagine my surprise when I decided to brew a cup of coffee for not one, but two patients in the hospital today .Lets share one. It wasn't an impulsive decision. Instead, it was a response to the circumstances that unfolded before me. The lady I made the coffee for had been suffering from a chronic health condition for decades. She was alone, with no family by her side, and visibly upset by the slow pace of the healthcare system. An Unexpected Gesture I'm not entirely sure why I decided to make coffee that day. I do not know how to make one! I thought of doing it in the hospital while on shift for someone else ( Strange!) It wasn...

Hello all, Let me first confirm the pictures in the blog have been picked up from canva :) Life's most significant transformations often happen gradually, almost imperceptibly. Yet, they leave a mark on who we become. My decision to move to the United Kingdom was more than just a relocation; it was my personal boot camp in the University of Life. I realized that change is challenging to appreciate unless it's measured, and thus, I embarked on a journey to document the little things that would make my experience worthwhile. Welcome to the Boot Camp Transformation (BCT) Series, where I share my story of measuring and embracing change over the course of stay in the UK. When I set out on this adventure, I had no idea what lay ahead. Just an opportunity to grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, and culturally. I decided to chronicle this transformation through the BCT Series, a collection of observations, lessons, and moments that would serve as benchmarks for my personal gro...

Hello all, Life often throws us unexpected curveballs that challenge us to step out of our comfort zones and grow as individuals. My decision to move to the United Kingdom at a not-so-conventional stage of my life was one such curveball. I viewed it as my personal odyssey, a unique opportunity to learn valuable life lessons that couldn't be acquired any other way. In this blog, I'll share my thoughts behind my unconventional move, the personal growth I hoped to achieve, and the journey that led me to the United Kingdom. Its not to seek validation but probably tick some thinking caps. After first 3 decades of life ( I know what you're thinking, haha ) reality hit and I realized that world was not as opportunist as dad told you, not as nice as mum sugar coated, not selfish as your senior told you, not as brutal as your boss told you. Its somewhere in between you are out to find your world , your balance. Seeking Independence on All Fronts As I approached a certain stage of my...

Dear all! There was no better time to write down my favorite blog. I would wonder how I would react to turning 30. I saw a lot of friends catching cold feet while they hit the milestone, some remained in denial. Honestly, I am having fun. Alhamdulillah. As I look at my previous years, I find myself reflecting on the myriad lessons life has graciously taught me. Along this journey, I've collected wisdom from various experiences, each shaping my understanding of self, relationships, and the world around me. As always I have some 'gyaan' to share. 1. Patience Is Key "What is meant for you will find its way." 'What you seek is seeking you.' This mantra has been a constant companion through the transitions—moving to a new country, navigating a different workplace, and diving into a new job. Waiting for the right moments has been a pivotal lesson. 2. Water: Nature's Elixir Amidst the whirlwind of changes, I discovered the unparalleled refreshment water offer...
