It’s not just about popping a pill.
Most gut issues aren’t caused overnight and they won’t be fixed overnight either.
That acidity, bloating, or heartburn you keep brushing off?
It’s your body waving a red flag, asking you to look beyond instant fixes and treat the root cause.
✅ Long-term relief comes from habit change:
— eating on time,
— reducing processed food,
— increasing fiber intake,
— and addressing underlying digestive disorders with the right medical support.
This one’s for every patient who thinks antacids are magic dust. 😄

Lipstick is marketed for beauty. But ingredients like Cadmium go beyond skin-deep.
🩺 From a medical point of view:
It’s not about fear, it’s about informed choices.
If you’re using lipstick daily, look for brands that are:
✔️ Third-party tested for heavy metals
✔️ Clearly disclose cadmium, lead, mercury levels
✔️ Follow international cosmetic safety standards
🔍 Because what you put on your lips can affect more than just how you look — it can impact your hormonal health, kidneys, and long-term well-being.

If your bathroom break needs a phone…your bowel movement likely needs help.
You’re not “just relaxing” in there.
You’re putting unnecessary pressure on your re**al veins and pelvic floor—every single time.
This isn’t about one long toilet session.
It’s about what years of toilet scrolling can lead to:
🔸 Piles that keep coming back
🔸 Pelvic floor dysfunction that no one talks about
🔸 Constipation that turns chronic and painful
A normal, healthy bowel movement should take less than 2 minutes.
No phone. No straining. No sitting like it’s your office chair.
If your gut needs that long to work… something’s already off.

Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health concern caused by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics in humans, animals, and agriculture. When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics too frequently or inappropriately, they can evolve mechanisms to survive these drugs. As a result, infections that were once easily treatable with common antibiotics—such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections—are becoming increasingly difficult or even impossible to cure.
According to a major study published in The Lancet in 2022, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was responsible for an estimated 1.27 million deaths worldwide in 2019, with nearly 5 million deaths associated with resistant bacterial infections. If current trends continue, projections suggest that by 2050, AMR could result in up to 10 million deaths annually—exceeding the current global cancer mortality rate.
This potential rise in mortality is due to the fact that many medical procedures rely on effective antibiotics to prevent and treat infections. These include surgeries, chemotherapy, organ transplants, and the care of premature infants. Without effective antibiotics, the risk of complications and death from routine healthcare will rise dramatically.
Efforts to combat antibiotic resistance include global surveillance, responsible antibiotic stewardship, development of new antimicrobials, and improved hygiene and vaccination practices to reduce the need for antibiotics in the first place.

I spend most of my days reading scans, performing surgeries, and working against the clock.
But behind the lens, I slow down. I observe. I feel.
These photos remind me that observation is more than a professional skill. It’s a way of living.
This is Through My Lens.
Tell me which frame spoke to you the most?

I meet too many patients who say, “I don’t drink often, just weekends.”
As if that makes it harmless.
But here’s what’s actually happening inside your body every time you “just” binge:
Yes, your liver works overtime to process the alcohol.
But that’s not the full story.
Alcohol thickens bile, slows its flow, and inflames your gallbladder.
That disrupts your digestion of fats.
You end up feeling bloated, sluggish, heavy and sometimes even nauseous, days after the drinking ends.
This is bile dysfunction.
And it builds up quietly over time, just like liver inflammation.
No warning, no pain. Just poor digestion, poor metabolism, and long-term damage.
Know what you’re asking your body to recover from.
Because while you’re forgetting the weekend…
Your liver and bile ducts are still dealing with it on Monday.

Some moments stay with you a little longer.
Truly honoured to be felicitated by IMA Odisha and Rotary Club Bhubaneswar — a recognition that means a lot to me, not just as a surgeon, but as someone deeply committed to building better outcomes for patients.
Every long surgery, every life restored, every family given hope — this is what we strive for.
This recognition is a reminder that the work we do inside the OT reaches far beyond it.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey — mentors, colleagues, patients, and my entire team.
Grateful for the trust placed in me as a Liver Transplant Surgeon, GI & HPB Specialist, and Gastrointestinal Surgeon.
The work continues — with even more heart. 💙
