Payal Nag.

Daughter of a daily-wage mason from Odisha.
Electrocuted at the age of eight. Lost all four limbs.

And then, found a bow.

Spotted through her paintings by coach Kuldeep Vedwan, the same man who shaped world champion Sheetal Devi.

Defeated her idol Sheetal Devi at the World Para Archery Series Final in Bangkok, April, 2026

Whenever I am feeling low or sorry for myself I will look at these images of Payal & Sheetal again & remind myself what the words: Courage, Resilience & Positive thinking, really mean.

These champions are not just my #MondayMotivation.

They will be a source of motivation Every. Single. Day

Glomerular disease made simple:

The location of injury➡️ dictates pattern of injury➡️points to etiology (based on immunofluorescence) ➡️ and results in a specific clinical syndrome.

Study this figure carefully & you will understand the basics of GN.
