Dr Sulbha Arora

My heartfelt gratitude to every single person who has reached out to us in our time of grief. The only thing that's keeping me breathing is reading about the legacy of kindness and generosity he has left behind.

85 to 90 percent of women physicians are eldest daughters. That is not a coincidence. That is a pipeline. Eldest daughters are trained, before age five, to over-function. They take on a parent's worry. They organize the family. They clean up without being asked. They do not ask for help, because they were rewarded their whole childhood for not needing any. Then they walk into medicine. A career that demands hyper-responsibility, hypervigilance, perfectionism, and silent sacrifice does not have to ask these women to give those things. They were giving them before they could read. The system is not stumbling into a burnout problem. The system is recruiting from a pool of people whose entire childhood was a training program for it. This is what pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney has been finding when she asks the room. In every group, in every retreat. Maybe one or two women are not eldest daughters. The rest have been carrying something since before they could spell their own name. Most of those women blame themselves. "Why don't I have boundaries?" "Why do I over-function?" "Why can't I delegate?" Because at five years old, your family rewarded you for over-functioning. Because every teacher praised you for it. Because the medical training system selected for it. Because every job since has reinforced it. The pattern is older than your medical degree by twenty years. The other piece nobody names: by the time these women are in their fifties, they are carrying eldest-daughter responsibility for aging parents AND running a department as chief AND running a household. The role does not retire when the children do. It just compounds. Jessie's reframe is the part worth bookmarking. The "hero" framing is the trap. Eldest daughters were made the savior of the family before they could read. Then medicine made them the savior of the patient. Then the department made them the savior of the team. At every stage, they learned that if they did not do it, terrible things would happen and it would be their fault. Awareness is the first move. Non-judgment is the second. Excellence is not doing everything yourself. Excellence is letting other people do their jobs. You are allowed to gift some of it back. You can ask your siblings to carry the aging parent. You can let your medical assistant do the medical assistant's job. You can stop covering the gap that nobody actually asked you to cover. Most eldest daughters in medicine have never asked for help. When they finally do, they discover people are willing to help. The asking was the whole obstacle. Listen to the full conversation on The Podcast by KevinMD. Link in the replies. What is the one task you have been carrying for your family or your team that no one ever actually asked you to carry? #ThePodcastbyKevinMD

This shopkeeper in India opened his doors and let all the street dogs come inside to escape the scorching summer heat. They’re just chilling and resting comfortably in his shop like it’s their own home.

FUCKING LEGEND OF A RESPONSE.

Update about these dogs ❤️ Reached out and spoke to the shop owner. He confirmed that a kind family from Sewadham, Loni ( GZB ) known to them has already taken both dogs earlier today. Both dogs are SAFE now, away from fear and uncertainty. From abandonment to safety… this could have been another tragic story, but compassion stepped in at the right time. Grateful that they are no longer alone.

@sangramdasiam @Geeky_Foodie No I’m 50 and I could totally relate

@Geeky_Foodie If this is the story of 40s then we at 50s shud go to Himalaya and pray…or Ajmer Darga or golden temple or likewise…ye kya ho raha hai!😳

Some are still looking for their fairy tale, Some are separated, some are divorced, some are widowed, some are finally out of the closet, some are looking for an escape, some have realised they are enough..

These two brothers are in Ambala. They’re deeply bonded and need to be adopted together. Their owner passed away. If you can’t adopt, please spread the word to anyone you know in or around ambala.

Possibly the worst thing I have read in a long time!

Haridwar forest department, stop using a dog as bait!!!!!! This is not wildlife rescue. This is calculated cruelty. This needs to end immediately @ukfd_official @moefcc @EnvironmentPib @HaridwarPolice @uttarakhandcops

In 2003, a German film crew followed a nomadic family in Mongolia's Gobi Desert. The film, The Story of the Weeping Camel, was nominated for an Oscar. A mother camel had rejected her newborn after a brutal two-day labour. Without her milk, the calf would die. The family knew one option. They sent their two young sons on a journey across the desert to find a musician who could perform a ritual called Hoos, a chanting ceremony passed down for centuries specifically for this moment. The musician came. The ritual was performed. The mother camel wept real tears and turned to her calf for the first time. The film crew had gone to document a way of life. They had no idea they would capture that. UNESCO added the Hoos ritual to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2015, alongside flamenco, the Mediterranean diet, and the art of Neapolitan pizza making.

There are thousands of "Aditya Dhar's peak detailing" videos involving Dhurandhar. But this one takes the cake. The Prime Minister of Pakistan was mocked perfectly in Dhurandhar 2 😎

Tiger is not crossing a road; that's his home. It's we humans who encroached on their land...!!

@RichaChadha Harrasment is Indias national personality! Especially to animals!

Indian national animal being harassed by Indians …

@captain_speakin Lucky to have you ❤️

@SulbhaArora Thankfully we have each other! The clan of women who we depend on for everything without even thinking twice

Drove Hibiki to the vet this morning because she was showing signs of pain. Diagnosis is acute pancreatitis which will have a 100% recovery after 3 days in a hospital and lots of meds and pain relief. The rest of the morning I have spent constantly reassuring everyone around..there is nothing to be stressed about. That’s the thing about being the strong one, you don’t get a day off!

In an inspiring moment from Malviya Nagar, a delivery rider from Magicpin, Shivanket, showed what real courage looks like. He stepped forward and stopped people from throwing water balloons at helpless stray dogs. One voice. One stand. One act of humanity. Small actions like these restore faith and remind us that compassion still lives among us. Respect. @mymagicpin #Holi2026 #HoliCelebration

Before calling something a “stray dog attack,” the available evidence should support the claim. A viral video being circulated as a “stray dog attack” in Greater Noida’s Gaur City 2 shows the woman walking away calmly. In the video: • No biting is visible • No visible distress • The woman walks away calmly Let’s stop spreading hatred and stick to verified facts. #SaveIndianDogs #Noida #India

@drnngujarathi @MumbaiPolice Feeding makes them bark? Dogs ate more likely to bark when they are hungry. Btw dog vans cannot pick up or relocate dogs, it is against the law.

This is the watchman of Mumbai central district co operative bank, in Vile Parle, who keeps feeding these 4-5 dogs throughout night and then they keep barking whole night. Have done complaint with @MumbaiPolice previously also but no one is bothered. When Dog van came to pick up this guy with few other people stopped them. @mybmc department said, dogs keep barking his natural, we can’t help. @bjpmumbai Please take action against these guys.

This beautiful message from a morning runner truly touched our hearts. Our community dogs are not “strays” they are silent protectors of our streets. They guard our lanes at night, welcome us at dawn, and stand by us with unmatched loyalty. They ask for nothing, yet give us safety, love, and companionship every single day. Let’s treat our real protectors with the kindness and respect they deserve. #dogs

A VILLAGE IN TN STANDING UP FOR A SINGLE STRAY DOG AGAINST HUMAN MENACE! THIS IS THE REALITY WHERE THE MEDIA DOESN’T DO ITS DIRTY JOB! In a village called Mandhiyapuram, 4-5 drunk men harassed a pregnant dog at night. The dog bit a couple of them in self defense. Enraged, the drunk men took the dog and tried to throw her in front of a lorry on the highway. The lorry driver stopped when he saw what was happening. He got down and asked them why they were torturing a voiceless animal and who would take responsibility if the lorry overturned. The drunk men argued, saying, “It’s just a stray dog and hence why shouldn’t we torture it?” When the driver stood up to them, he was assaulted, and the dog was killed. THE ENTIRE VILLAGE STOOD UP FOR THAT STRAY DOG, INFORMED PFA TO FILE AN FIR, AND PAID FOR AND PERFORMED THE LAST RITES FOR THE DOG AS THEY WOULD FOR A HUMAN. Humanity still exists. People are still sane in places the media cannot reach .. places where it cannot spread fear mongering narratives. #saveindiandogs #saveindiafromdoghaters @UN @UNHumanRights @WHO
