When your first original article gets awarded the Best Article award!!!😍

All those hours after work—going through old files and scanned patient records—suddenly feel completely worthwhile. Honoured that our paper on long-term outcomes of surgery for ROP-related retinal detachment has been recognised as one of the Best Publications of the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology 2025 at the All India Ophthalmological Conference, Jaipur. Immense gratitude to my mentors at Sankara Nethralaya and all my co-authors for their constant guidance.

So bummed that I couldn’t make it for the award ceremony—but deeply grateful nonetheless. Here’s ChatGPT making sure I didn’t miss out in the photos!

A full circle moment. ✨💫
During my fellowship, with micro-incision vitrectomy taking over the world, scleral buckle cases had become few and far between.
Every time a retinal detachment came in, I would quietly hope — maybe this one could be buckle-able.
I traced cases.
Fought for their surgical fitness.
Nudged the surgery fixing centre to post them in the OT with consultants who still performed buckles.
Requested seniors.
Waited patiently to see them appear on the OR list.
Because scleral buckle is not just a surgery.
It is elegant, anatomical, and deeply satisfying —
(and yes, sometimes back-breaking) —
a beautiful way to repair a retinal detachment.
A surgery that still has the potential to give 6/6 vision, something vitrectomy often falls short of.

Yesterday, I was deeply honoured to be invited back to my own postgraduate institute, as a guest surgeon to demonstrate a scleral buckle — on a six-year-old child.
(The best surgical option for pediatric retinal detachment with retinal dialysis.)
Because some surgeries deserve to be preserved.
Because every eye deserves only the best.
The same corridors.
The same operating rooms.
But this time, from the other side of the journey.

Because I know how hard I fought for these cases.
And if we don’t keep practicing it — and passing it on to the next generation —
scleral buckle risks becoming a lost art.
(Sadly, in many places, it already is.)

Grateful for the journey.
Grateful for the opportunity — and for teachers who believed in me.
Grateful for my peers .doc.shraddha, who trusted me.
And deeply committed to ensuring that this beautiful retinal detachment surgery continues to live on. ♥️

This day, eight years ago…Internship year :)
NEET-PG 2018 ranks were declared.
With God’s grace and years of hard work, I secured an All India Rank of 774 ♥️
As a surgeon’s daughter, I always knew I wanted a surgical specialty for my Master’s as I had seen no other way of living.
That rank meant I was spoilt for choice — the freedom to choose any surgical branch as my first preference at my alma mater, the prestigious Seth G.S. Medical College & KEM Hospital.
And yet, that freedom came with lot of confusion.
I stood at a crossroads.
General Surgery? OBGYN? ENT? Orthopaedics? Ophthalmology?

I chose Ophthalmology as my first preference, with Nair Hospital as my college of choice.

Somewhere between microscopes, long nights, COVID-19 menace and learning to trust my hands, I found something deeper.
I found my ikigai.
Work that became worship.
I honestly cannot imagine what life would have looked like any other way.

Looking back, it’s safe to say- Ophthalmology chose me :)
Was Ophthalmology your first preference too?

Memories of MOSCON 2025 — & wrapping up the year 2025 💫✨

A year of firsts. A year of growth.
From my first international conference presentation — APAO–AIOC 2025, to winning my first BOA free paper, and delivering my first faculty talk at MOSCON 2025, Goa — this year truly rewrote my professional journey.

Behind the scenes were delays, roadblocks, relentlessly long days of 100+ km daily commute, and timelines being constantly pushed forward.
But on the other side of the grind were breakthroughs.
Firsts in private practice.
Firsts in independently managing complex cataract complications — both my own cases and those referred by juniors and seniors.
First time heading an entire hospital as the senior-most faculty.
Every delay refined me.
Every roadblock taught me resilience.
Every first reminded me why I began.

Grateful for the unwavering support & strength from The Almighty & my family— the constant anchor behind every long day and late night.

Thanks to Sarvesh sir (.guy) for the MOSCON opportunity.

Stepping into 2026 with gratitude, love & unwavering strength — knowing this journey is only just getting better🥰🧿✨

Absolutely ecstatic to be invited as the subject expert on the talk show ‘Hello Doctor’ — live on Doordarshan Sahyadri, one of India’s largest broadcasting networks — to spread awareness on Eye Donation this Eye Donation Fortnight (25 Aug–10 Sept).
Being back on the show for the second time makes it extra special - maybe I did alright the first time around! 👁✨📺
In case you missed it — catch the episode, link’s up in the highlights! (Video links) 🎥💫

Delighted to be invited as a panelist for Trinity 2025 — the Annual Undergraduate Conference of Lokmanya Tilak Medical College & Municipal Hospital.
It feels surreal to return as a speaker to the very platform where I once stood as an undergraduate delegate at Trinity 2015 — presenting my Psychiatry research, my first academic study, as a Free Paper during third MBBS at KEM.
Life truly comes full circle — ten years later. ✨♥️

When passion meets purpose, magic happens. ✨
First time presenting in my own city as a VitreoRetina surgeon — on a subject so close to my heart, Retinopathy of Prematurity — and taking home the Runner-Up – Prof. Dr. T. P. Lahane Free Paper Award at BOA FOCUS 2025.

Six months at K.B. Haji Bachooali Eye Hospital went into building this paper from scratch — and along the way, made me sharper at every aspect of ROP: diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up protocols. This win feels like the perfect culmination.

Bonus milestone: my Surgical Video Film on scleral-supported IOLs was also selected for a podium presentation. 🎥👁️

And the cherry on top? Four of our team’s abstracts made it to the conference, with Dr. bagging First Place in the same award category. 🏆

With this, I wrap up an incredibly rewarding six-month stint at KBHB — refining and remodelling my fellowship skills to suit the needs of the Mumbai region and private practice.

Endless thanks to our ever-encouraging HOD Dr. Anand Sir & Sarvesh Sir — for making every day here count. 🙏

Here’s to what’s next. 💙
