I had the privilege of being invited as a panellist in the recent discussion on the sensitive case at GMCH, alongside eminent Paediatricians from leading hospitals, a senior Ophthalmologist, a retired IPS officer, and political spokespersons. Thanks to the anchor and the deputy editor of News18 Assam & NE for conducting the discussion constructively!

As a Psychologist and Researcher, I shared insights from empirical studies on the workload of medical professionals, its effects on cognition, and how these factors can contribute to instances of medical negligence.

This issue deeply concerns the medical fraternity, and I felt it was important to highlight the research evidence and psychological dimensions underlying such challenges. I am sharing the live talk here for those who wish to engage in the discussion or are interested in listening.

Celebrating Friendship, Conversations & Connection 🤝💛

This Friendship Day was extra special as I had the joy of being invited with my best friend Sangyukta Dutta to a heartfelt Talk Show on the essence of friendship and its powerful role in nurturing our mental health!

It was an honour to share this space with some of the most inspiring personalities of Assam, like Maneesha Borma and Manjula Bormaa Manjula Hazarika who have been friends for 57 years—an exemplary friendship that inspires us all!
(Well, Sanju and I have completed 28 years of friendship this year 😇🧿👭)
Along with them we also had Papori Baa Ruppankita Papari and Birina Baa Birina Pathak Chakraborty—-the well-known singers and friends reflected together on the bonds that hold us, heal us, and help us grow 😇👭👭👭🧿 Because true friendship is not just about laughter and memories—it’s a safe space, a mirror, and sometimes, a lifeline!

We were delighted to have Dibson Lal Baruah as a surprise entry to the show (our anchor Monjit’s close friend) 🤩

Grateful for the love, the laughter, and the beautiful conversations!

A very very late post, a late update……
I had the honour to do a session on “Importance of Mental Health among adolescents” with 1176 students across Assam under “Anweshan 2025” program.

I have been associated with Oxford University Press since 2018. While I had to shift to online sessions for a while due to a spinal issue, I’m truly delighted to be back conducting offline workshops once again.

It is both an honour and a privilege to train teachers—the true pillars of our society—in shaping a more compassionate and resilient world. Beyond professional commitment, this is a deeply personal mission: to empower educators as Mental Health Allies, extending the reach of care far beyond the therapy room and into everyday lives where it is most needed.
150 teachers from 10 different schools of Meghalaya attended the workshop.

Honoured to be invited to deliver a talk on “Connect to Collaborate” — exploring the theme from a psychological lens, and reflecting on the powerful role of Psychology not just in addressing illness, but in nurturing everyday wellness.

Heartfelt gratitude to Chanda Singh and the entire team at Nestlé for this meaningful opportunity and warm invitation.

What happens when women come together?
They uplift, empower, and change the narrative — not by competing, but by fixing each other’s crowns 👸

“She Connects” was a celebration of women entrepreneurs — their resilience, vision, and spirit! I was truly honoured to be invited as one of the panellists for a deeply engaging and interactive discussion that left me both inspired and humbled!

Gratitude to Barsha Dutta for the kind invitation, and heartfelt thanks to my fellow panelists for sharing the dais and their powerful journeys. It was a privilege to listen to such inspiring stories.

And a special shoutout to all the incredible men who stood as allies — as co-panellists, anchors, and sponsors — you all were amazing 🙏🏻
A Sunday well-spent 😍😇
