What an honour to present the first talk at the 1st National Conference of the J&K Psychiatric Society at Srinagar on 13th Nov 2025
Was invited to speak on AI and chose "Perks & Perils in Psychiatry"
The conference so well executed and collective effort of all members was evident. Loved the hospitality, food and mementos.
A long over due post but a loved memory

The Impetus!
Last decade has seen an increasing number of women psychiatrists in J&K and they are here making their marks on the mental health landscape. I was so impressed with their talent, enthusiasm and was very proud of them that they assembled together for an evening focused on growth.
We swaped stories, laughed and loved.
We took home lessons and memories.
We reaffirmed our commitment to ourselves and our work.
Cant wait to see where these bright women will lead us all!

Was honoured and happy to be speaking at the 50th annual conference of East Zone of IPS at Kolkata end of October
It was a flying visit, just for a day, but enough to soak up some academics, participate in discussions, hang out with friends, meet new young colleagues, and of course eat delicious food! Missed shopping this time but should keep unrequited to get an excuse to visit again.
I've always enjoyed Kolkata

"Use of abrasive and abusive language impacting attitudes and mental health" was very glad I could present this talk at Agra at UPIPS annual conference on Sunday
Globally, languages are constructed to support patriarchy but insults and cuss words are particularly damaging as most incite violence against women and propogates r**e culture. Verbal abuse causes long lasting socialand psychological damages. But across genders it also impacts cognition on multiple levels leading to low functioning
Our words, shape our worlds
Our words, wound
