It was a delight to have @BillGates release the Standard Treatment Workflows of India, a project that I lead successfully. Big thanks to all the expert group chairs and my support staff who helped in this endeavour @gatesfoundation @BMGFIndia @trevormundel @Atul_Gawande #UHC

#KaalaiVanakkam! There’s a certain grounded strength in realizing that while a situation might feel "unbearable" emotionally, you are fundamentally equipped to survive it. That is the basis of endurance.

90% of students “read” research papers and still can’t explain them….This is the method I use anytime I lead a Journal Club. I can tell in 30 seconds if you actually understood a research paper…. Most people don’t…. They “read” it… Then they can’t explain the question, the method, or the point. Here’s the reading method researchers are trained to use: The Three-Pass Method. ⸻ ★ PASS 1 (5–10 minutes) Get the map, not the details Read only: → Title → Abstract + intro → Section headings → Conclusion → References (quick glance) By the end, you should be able to say: ↳ What kind of paper is this ↳ What problem is it solving ↳ What are the main contributions ↳ Do the assumptions seem reasonable ↳ Is it worth your time If the answer is “no,” stop here. That’s not quitting. That’s focus. ⸻ ★ PASS 2 (up to 1 hour) Understand the argument Now read with a pen. Your job is to track: → What claim are they making → What evidence supports it → What figures/graphs prove it Study the visuals like your reputation depends on it: ↳ Are axes labeled ↳ Are error bars shown ↳ Do the results actually justify the conclusion At the end of pass 2, you should be able to explain the paper out loud to a friend. No notes. If you can’t, you don’t own it yet. ⸻ ★ PASS 3 (the “real researcher” pass) Rebuild the paper in your head This is the move that separates “I read it” from “I understand it.” Try to recreate the work mentally: → Why this method and not another → What assumptions are hiding in plain sight → What would break if one assumption fails → What would you change if you ran the study By the end, you should be able to reconstruct the whole paper from memory, including strengths and weak spots. ⸻ 💬 What trips you up the most when reading papers? ♻️ Repost if you know someone drowning in PDFs.

#KaalaiVanakkam! A shout out to all empaths. Preserve your energy. Remember there is a long way to go. Don't be in a hurry to be overly generous with your spirit of empathy.

91% of Indian Doctors don't want their children to join the Profession .....earlier almost all Doctors wanted their children to take up the Profession .....what has changed? @MoHFW_INDIA @ICMRDELHI @ShamikaRavi @sanjeevsanyal @rahulkanwal @sardesairajdeep @navikakumar #Doctors

You are your own master and your own well wisher No one can take that place ..not even dear ones Only you can take care of yourself The sooner you accept it ,the better it is for you …

Remember this story which got some space in media then … Strongly feel that family and parental support is crucial in saving married daughters suffering in silence …

This is the key shift that I think most people are missing. We don’t need more routine AI engineers. We need domain experts with critical thinking and an engineering mindset. These folks are who modern AI will truly enable. AI engineers to build next gen AI are welcome of course.
