Diwali Reflections

​As Diwali ends, I hope each of you found moments of joy, peace, and connection amid the celebrations.

This time of year always reminds me that light doesn’t just come from diyas or fireworks, it comes from healing, kindness, and the small acts of care that keep us connected. Whether it’s holding a patient’s hand, calling a loved one you’ve been too busy to reach, or simply taking a moment to rest, these are our everyday lights.

Diwali is about renewal and a fresh start after darkness. In medicine, I see that renewal every day: the strength of patients fighting to recover, the resilience of families showing up for each other, the quiet courage that keeps hope alive even in difficult times.

May the light of Diwali continue to guide us toward empathy, balance, and well-being. In our hospitals, our homes, and our communities. May we carry that same spirit of healing forward, together.

Wishing you all a healthy, peaceful, and purpose-filled year ahead.
