A birthday tribute to three decades of growing up together I met Nidhi when I was eighteen and thought I knew everything. She was nineteen and my resident assistant at the University of South Florida, already carrying losses that would have broken most people twice her age. Her father passed the previous year. Her twin…

This weekend, we drove our daughter Simran to Gainesville to begin her college journey at the University of Florida. It was bittersweet. On one hand, it’s deeply fulfilling to watch your child grow into a young lady—to see her step forward with confidence, curiosity, and independence. On the other hand, it’s impossible not to feel…

As we close out 2025, I find myself pausing to reflect on what has been an extraordinary year—one marked by significant financial milestones, professional transitions, personal growth, and precious time with family. I’m writing this from Europe, Bologna Italy to be exact, where my family and I are spending the final two weeks of the…

Yesterday morning, I played basketball for the first time in over a month—coming off yet another knee injury in what’s been a year of on-and-off playing. We ran for almost two hours, and by the end, I was completely wiped out—physically useless until this Monday morning. But as drained as I felt, I also felt…

Just a quick update before diving in: I’ll be starting at AdventHealth on December 1st, 2025, and I’m really looking forward to this next chapter. If you’ve noticed a lull in posts lately, it’s because I’ve been buried in board review—studying for my hematology recertification—while also ramping up with my wife on our first franchise…

Once a year — usually without planning it, and always with some amount of caloric regret — we take the kids to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. This year, it had been a few years since our last visit. Life happened. Work, school, the general vortex of family schedules. But this past weekend, the…

There are certain milestones as parents that we know are coming but still somehow feel completely unprepared for. Potty training. Middle school drama. College applications. And then there’s teaching your kids how to drive. Right now, that’s where my family is living. My two girls Sanji and Simran are 17 and 18. Both are wonderful,…

We’ve had an incredible year of travel — one of the best I can remember. From Iceland to Japan, a few cruises, intermittent locums to Montana and West Virginia, and now, a week in Switzerland to cap off a family wedding trip in New York. It’s been a year of movement, reflection, and above all,…

There’s a saying I live by: work hard, play hard. And for a week and a half this summer, we did just that. After months of clinical work, legal consults, and nonstop travel, we finally hit pause and jumped into celebration mode. And what better place to do that than at a Punjabi wedding in…

As a medical oncologist, I’ve dedicated the past two decades to the rigorous, deeply rewarding world of cancer care—guiding patients through treatment decisions, contributing to clinical research, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across institutions. Leaving my busy 14-year clinical practice was one of the best decisions I’ve made, creating space for personal, mental, and spiritual…
