Area of specialization:
I am working in the field of Pathology and Sthriroga, and honestly it’s a space that keeps pushing me to learn more every day. I didn’t just pick these subjects—they kind of pulled me in. Pathology helps me get into the root of the disease, like really understand what’s going wrong at tissue level. And with Sthriroga, it’s more than just gyneac stuff—it’s this whole world of hormonal cycles, fertility struggles, menstrual issues that impact women on daily basis. It’s a responsibility really, cause many patients don’t even open up easily. I try not to jump to conclutions fast. Whether it’s examining biopsy samples or trying to decode irregular periods or PCOS symptoms, my method is kind of slow n careful, sometimes maybe too slow but that’s how I feel diagnosis actually works best. I rely on clinical history, dosha assessment, lab support where needed and a bit of gut feel that grows with expereince. There’s days I mix up samples or miss tiny histological clues, but then I go back, re-read, check again. In Sthriroga, sometimes it’s less about the uterus and more about emotional weight patients carry. That part needs silent listening. Not easy, I’m still learning. But I like to take time, ask right questions (or atleast try), and just figure out what imbalance is driving the illness. Both fields require patience, and I don’t always get it right first go. But I stick to it. I’m interested in making diagnosis meaningful—not just reports or labels—but something that helps guide right chikitsa.
Achievements:
I am honored to recieve the Jivaka Award from Himalaya – felt like a big deal at the time, and honestly still does. It came during a phase where I was just kinda trying to focus on being consistent with studies n clinical work both, not really aiming for awards or anything fancy. This recognition meant a lot cause it came from a reputed Ayurvedic brand and kinda validated the way I was approaching my learning—mixing classical concepts with actual patient-centered care. I wasn’t the loudest or top-most all the time, but I tried to be regular, showed up for every case, every class, made my notes, asked those odd questions when others were quiet, and yeah maybe that caught some attention. Winning the Jivaka Award felt like a nod to that slow n steady effort, rather than just rank chasing. Himalaya’s emphasis on integrated herbal science is something I kind of aligned with too, which made the award feel even more connected to what I care about in Ayurveda.

I am currently doing my post graduation in Roga Nidan Evum Vikriti Vigyan and honestly it feels like i stepped into a space where everyday i see how complex the human body really is. My study is deeply focused on understanding the nature of diseases, how they manifest, the diagnostic methods in Ayurveda and also how classical texts connect to what we see in real patients. Some days its just theory, long hours reading samhitas and trying to decode meanings of certain shlokas.. other days its in the wards, listening to patients, matching symptoms with vikriti, making mistakes in observation but then correcting them. I remind myself this is the base of good clinical practice, if diagnosis is not right treatment can never be right too. Roga nidan is not just about labeling disease, its about tracing the root causes, prakriti of patient, the dosha involvement, the samprapti (pathogenesis). And Vikriti Vigyan helps me to analyze how imbalance unfolds in the body. I keep thinking about how small lifestyle habits, diet, stress triggers can push doshas out of balance and slowly lead to pathology. Many times patients come with complaints that look similar but when you dig deeper the causative factor is totally different. That challenge excites me and also humbles me. I also focus a lot on differential diagnosis. Sometimes modern investigations like blood tests, imaging etc are needed to correlate, but my main strength is in applying Ayurvedic parameters – darshana, sparshana, prashna – observation, examination and questioning. Every patient story is different, and i try to listen with patience though sometimes i slip into rushing but then i pause. Doing post graduation here is shaping my approach as a physician who can bridge classical knowledge with current healthcare needs. I want to keep refining my diagnostic skills because without accurate nidan, chikitsa will not give lasting relief. My aim is to grow into a clinician who can identify disease at early stages and guide patients not just with medicine but also preventive care.
