  Inner Strength Dr Tripti Milind Galgali Anaesthesiologist, Hubli. A 75yr lady was referred for pain and Palliative care to me. A sudden weakness episode got her investigated. She was diagnosed terminal stage of Cancer due to metastasis every where. " You have few months to live". Hearing this,a physically active lady yesterday, suddenly got bedridden.

  The Dual Duel of Mind and Heart. I have since childhood a firm mind ,focused and determined.Following the passion of my heart. And both my heart and my mind never conflicted with each other.....always one and same goal. Till my 1st pregnancy....I continued working upto end. Once my baby entered the world and the happiest and most wonderful phase of my life ,The Motherhood, began...... And... The Dual ... Duel.. Heart and Mind.... Conflict began. Maternity leave got over. I had to rejoin my workplace. The morning "Separation" ,my baby crying and refusing to leave especially while teething or unwell,made me a " Selfish/ Self centered" person in eyes of every one around ...but mostly me myself. My heart was asking me to leave Anaesthesia. My Mind advised me to control my emotions and focus on my goals for which I had worked very hard. Only few times,my Heart won the Dual Duel when my baby was very sick and needed my Attention as a Doctor. Then the real...

  My Insta profile...... When I was young,the fingers were pointed out on my short plump and not fair profile. Those fingers did make me concious especially in my teens and more when in crowd or in occasions amongst people. My group of MBBS friends were planning on a Reunion after almost 25yrs. My anxiety over my profile overrode  my enthusiasm for meeting my dear batchmates after so many years. Yes. Insta Profile- how I look,my body,my face,my dressing.... External Appearance..... As young as 10yr old girls are anxious about Insta Profile. How world views them? How they appear to the outside world?

A teen with a changing body structure and hormonal imbalances giving them acne,plump body,dysmorphism.....are suffering  and struggling with mental issues like depression, eatin...

  Self motivation Blog. I am a trained Bharata Natyam dancer.Started dancing and performing too right since 5/ 6 yrs of age. Even with a very hectic MBBS and also during Postgraduation in Anaesthesia ,the continuous 72hrs duties- Day and Night ICU and OT - didn't deter me from my Dance classes and practices. But Marriage and Birthing ,nurturing, caring, home management and Strenuous Anaesthesia private practice got me very busy..... My passion for dance got forgotten for 2 decades. A chance video taken by my daughter as I was showing her hand gestures on a Kathak song performed by Madhuri Dixit" Dhai Shyam Rok Layi"..... I was asked to perform in Anaesthesia CME . Dancing after so many years..... With fractures and surgeries, ligament tears.... And weight gain..... Very Difficult. Not easy. But not IMPOSSIBLE.
