These are really challenging times for academic medicine. You have to set your goals. If you want to be at the top of the field what matters is truly enduring contributions that help improve patient outcomes. Visibility, titles, fame are transient. Enduring contributions to your field or to the delivery of excellent care at your own institution will set you apart.
Success in any field needs a huge amount of hard work, talent, perseverance, and yes, luck. You need to want to do what you are doing. Passion.
Whether your efforts are in research, practice or education, what will set you apart is always hard work, talent, and perseverance. With that luck is more likely to be on your side.
"I developed the first oral medicine for Kala Azar, later approved by DGCI.
It proved beneficial in eliminating the disease."

Hear from Mrs. Shubra Sinha as she shares her journey of overcoming breast cancer. She talks about how, with the #RightTreatment and #Consultation, the process felt so smooth that she never felt like a patient at all.
Some mentors teach medicine. A rare few teach life.
Dr. Bhawna Sirohi, my mentor, is one of them. Despite her international training and stature, she chose to return to Raipur—an underserved town—to practice oncology. That takes uncommon courage.
This week, I had the privilege of attending the BMC Chhattisgarh Cancer Conclave 2025 that she organised at Balco Medical Centre. It was inspiring to see how she brings global standards of oncology to places that need it most.
She leads with humility, compassion, and vision—an epitome of what true leadership looks like.
