Jeevun means life, in Hindi.

A well-lived life is a life in balance, with purpose, and with a story arc that we can look back on with satisfaction. A life that makes you say “yeah, I did that.” Achieving such satisfaction requires that we live life with intention. That we become the architect of our choices and curators of our experiences, choosing what to put in and what to leave out. Hence the subtitle.

Life today is a busy one. There is so much coming at us every day. From the moment we wake up to the moment our head hits the pillow again we tackle the necessities, urgencies, comedies, and annoyances of our nuanced lives. In order to get a sustainable sense of living well, we must make choices of what we will pursue and what we will let go.

Like many other people, I have found that the best way to learn is to be open to a teacher wherever one may appear, try new things, and communicate openly with others. As a physician, teacher, student, family member, and friend, I have loved sharing written thoughts in all arenas of my life.

After many meandering turns the road of life finds me here, trying to connect differently, perhaps to leave a repository of how I saw the beauty of the universe that was afforded me. I must write of the life live because as they in my profession, “if you didn’t document it, you didn’t do it.”

Writing is an exploration; those who love words share a sense of discovering new knowledge, new ideas, and really new worlds. One of my kids’ 2nd grade teacher taught us that writing is a piece of “PIE”. A writer aims to Persuade, Inform, and Entertain. I will attempt to do all three in defense of a well-explored, at times a bit tattered but always cherished, and in sum a balanced life. I am here to share a part of my mind. I hope you enjoy the reads.
