  • What will People Say?

    We have this famous phrase in Hindi log kya kahenge? Which translates to ‘what will people say’, it implies that one must care about what people think and say about them. Ramayana, to me, is the epitome of log kya kahenge. Remember the Trial by Fire story about how Sita needed to prove her purity…

  • Trial by Fire: The Ramayana

    Recently Hindus all over the world celebrated Ram Navami, the birth of Lord Ram. In recognition of the festival a group of us had an insightful discussion on the Ramayana. This revered epic in Hinduism is, what most say, the moral compass of Hindu society. It also serves as a guidebook for relationships as it…

  • Who is My Chief Engineer?

    SIO2022 Conference posts continue, I won’t blame you if you’ve tuned me out at this point. I think this is my last one. If I do any more, I’ll need to give SIO a category of it’s own in my blog. And if you’ve noticed only things close to my heart, get a label –…

  • The Pandemic Burnout

    Dr. Edward Creagan was one of the keynote speakers at SIO2022. He is an professor of oncology, best-selling author, pianist, marathoner… to name a few. His talk was about physician burnout, stating some of the reasons for it and providing coping mechanisms. He started with an attrition event in 1996 where Mayo lost 40% of…

  • Human Connection at SIO Part 2

    My not-knowing-anyone status changed on day 2. As I made my way towards the stage, 10 minutes to panel discussion, I was approached by an SIO member. He said, “You must be Niyati” as he gave me the warmest hug,“I’m Santosh”. Santosh thanked me for sharing my story, and being here at the conference. I…

  • Human Connection at SIO Part 1

    I wanted to conclude my SIO2022 Oncology Conference series with this post but ehh… there might be a post or two left in me. Thank you for indulging. On Day 1, I got there around 6 pm which meant I missed most events of that day. My travel was brief, mainly because I don’t like…

  • The Pesky Imposter Syndrome

    AnaMaria Lopez was the host of the Mind- Body Medicine panel discussion at SIO2022. The Society for Integrative Oncology decided I would go first. AnaMaria introduced me by sharing a quote from my TEDx talk. Context… I was a mother to an infant baby girl and 3 year old toddler boy. We heard this phrase…

  • London Town

    London is one of my favorite cities to visit, I never tire off it. It is easy to fall in love as a tourist and fall in love I did, all over again. With London the agenda was simple, experience the pulse of the city given we had limited time. Museums were not on the…

  • The Cotswolds

    Idyllic is the only way to describe the picture-perfect Cotswolds region of England. The rolling hills, stone fences, undulated landscape and winding roads makes this area a photographer’s paradise; yet photos seldom do justice. Nonetheless I will share a few, to influence you (Hey! That rhymed). Technically the Cotswolds spans across a few shires: Gloucestershire,…
