Duaa Amir

Identity is sometimes crafted and worn -- I write about the Bihari chaapa in Karachi and the artisans who have devoted their time to this craft. +wonderful pictures from Bihar, by Afzal Adeeb Khan. Big thanks to @rabiamush, for being so kind. For Geo. geo.tv/latest/572070

Key takeaway: Collective learning is so much more fun and efficient. Attend rotations with your friends. Walk with them, learn & eat with them too. Nothing about med school is breezy but then eventually, it all falls into place. #medtwitter

Special mentions to obs & gynae, where we learnt excellent history taking and examination skills in the OPD for all three years of med school. And chest medicine for many stories of resilience and hope.

Now that we're truly done with final year, here's a recap of some of our clinical rotations. The ones we really enjoyed. Starting off with cardiology at NICVD. Truly the crown jewel! & the best teaching + learning environment to be in.

@zohaasghar16 Congratulations! So happy to see this for you :)

Despite sari being most prominent chaapa dress, the craft can also be done on just about any piece of cloth For Big Picture, @duaaamir9 unearths the elusive craft from Bihar in Karachi Read more: geo.tv/latest/572070 #GeoNews

@kashafasim Thank you for reading and sharing!

What a lovely post to read first thing in the morning. Grateful to have known about chaapa thanks to my Bihari friends, and it is always a treat to see them wear chaapa saaris on at least one of their wedding events.

The chaapa sari is scarce in Karachi, and its subtle presence in a city where it is not native adds to its intrigue For Big Picture, @duaaamir9 unearths the elusive craft from Bihar in Karachi Read more: geo.tv/latest/572070 #GeoNews

@hashiraliawan Best of luck Dr. Awan!

It's time, #MedTwitter! I'm Hashir, an IMG from Pakistan, and I'm super excited to sit for #Match2025! Apart from all-things-med, you will see me either brewing coffee, taking pictures of pretty places, or just listening to Coldplay. Hoping to connect with fellow applicants!
