Does coffee burn fat? Short answer: No.

Coffee is a stimulant, great pre-workout for focus and stamina, but it doesn’t directly burn fat. Pair your coffee with a solid training session, protein, sleep, and hydration for sustainable weight loss. Skip the shortcuts; build the habits.

Some people heal with medicine.
Some heal with music.

I heal with both.

The piano teaches me patience. The saxophone teaches me breath, flow, and timing. The OR teaches me focus, precision, and presence.
Every patient, every note, every melody is a reminder: mastery is in the details, joy is in the process, and balance is everything.

Playing music isn’t an escape, it’s a rehearsal for life, a lesson in rhythm that I carry into surgery, patient care, and every decision I make.

Music has always been my way of connecting with myself and with people. At Connexions in Max, slipping into retro rhythm and sharing a melody with my team reminded me that healing isn’t just about medicine, it’s also about harmony, joy, and togetherness.

That evening wasn’t about notes or perfection. It was about energy, smiles, and the reminder that care goes beyond the hospital walls.

Here’s a glimpse of the music that filled the evening.

Medicine may be futuristic, but last week at Connexions in Max, we went delightfully retro.

On 23rd September, I traded my scrubs for vintage style and joined colleagues from Urology, Oncology, Bariatrics & Robotics in an evening filled with music, laughter, and memories that felt timeless.

What I loved most wasn’t just the nostalgia of bell-bottoms and old tunes, it was the reminder that behind every specialty and every success story are people who know how to come together, celebrate, and connect.

Healthcare is serious work, but Connexions reminded me that joy, community, and a touch of retro spirit are just as important for the heart.

Wishing you health, happiness, and new beginnings this Dussehra.
