Even the most loved office regular deserves an annual appraisal. 😄 Read the report: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/millet-khichdi-sprouts-curry-maharashtra-makes-healthy-food-must-in-govt-offices/articleshow/133723603.cms

Somewhere between the presentation and the chai, snacking became part of the meeting agenda.

What if the easiest thing to grab at work was also the better choice?

Our everyday choices are often shaped before we even realise we’re making them.

Plot twist: the most interesting person in the boardroom today is a glass of solkadhi.

Long workdays need fuel that lasts longer than the tea break.

Healthy choices become easier when the environment stops making them the difficult choice.

No food needs to be cancelled - maybe some just don’t need a permanent calendar invite. 😄 ...

We often ask young people what they want to become.

Perhaps we should also ask them: What would you like to change?

What stayed with me about this story was not only the science. It was the curiosity - a student looking at something most people would discard and wondering whether it still had something to offer.

As a surgeon, I know that progress often begins this way: someone notices what others overlook and asks a better question.

This World Coconut Day, here’s to the farmers who grow, the scientists who explore and the young minds brave enough to look twice.

Send this to a curious young person whose questions deserve encouragement. 🥥

Some health problems are silent. Others keep nudging us - through sleep, energy, breathlessness, stiffness, mood or recovery.

The problem? We get very good at calling those signals “normal.”

Today, notice one thing your body has been trying to tell you… and answer it with one better choice.

What signal have you been ignoring lately? 👇

A weekend in Delhi reminded me that the best part of a full calendar is often the people for whom we make room.

Look at the empty chair. Who did your mind put there?

The friend you have been meaning to meet. The sibling whose life you now follow through messages. The person with whom conversation never feels like effort.

We speak often about food, movement, sleep and preventive check-ups. But connection belongs in the health conversation too.

Send this to the person who came to mind.

If they send it back, stop saying “soon.” Choose a date. ❤️

We inherit family stories, familiar expressions and years of shared memories.

Sometimes, we may inherit health risks too.

This Raksha Bandhan, ask your sibling a question that could matter long after the thread comes off:

What conditions did our parents or grandparents have—and at what age?

When did you last check your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol?

Family history is not destiny. But knowing it can help us ask better questions, plan the right checks and act earlier.

Protection does not always sound like advice.

Sometimes, it simply sounds like:

“Let’s get checked together."

A rakhi may be tied on one wrist.
Care must work both ways. ❤️

Send this to your sibling.

It’s International Dog Day. ❤️🐾

Funny how they ask for so little, yet quietly give so much.

A familiar face waiting for you. A warm presence beside you. A reason to walk, play, laugh and sometimes just sit still for a while.

Somewhere along the way, they stop feeling like pets.

They’re simply family.❤️

Onam is not a festival I personally celebrate, but that is the beauty of India - every tradition gives us something to learn.

The sadya reminds us that food is not only nutrition. It is variety, balance, connection and celebration without guilt.

Health is not defined by one festive meal, but by the habits we return to afterwards.

To everyone celebrating, may your leaf be full and your heart fuller.

Happy Onam! 🌼
