The First Week of Residency: Expectations vs Reality

From Dreams to the First Day of Reality Getting selected for general surgery training at a renowned and famous private institute felt like a dream come true .  The journey to that point was not easy, and I had already shared the detailed struggle, sacrifices, and perseverance in a previous blog ( https://faithfatigueandthefuture.blogspot.com/2025/11/starting-over-my-journey-from-different.html ).  Like many young doctors, I walked into this new phase with hope in my heart and ambition in my eyes.

Why Dislike Turns Into Obsession: The Psychology Behind It

The Psychology Behind Why We Get Stuck on Certain People Have you ever noticed that sometimes the people you dislike the most end up taking the most space in your mind? You don’t love them, you don’t admire them, you don’t even want to be close to them — yet somehow, their actions, words, and presence feel impossible to ignore. Recently, I realized how dislike can pull us into a strange emotional involvement — sometimes even deeper than love.  Love makes us think about someone with warmth. Dislike? It makes us think about someone with intensity  And intensity is powerful. Why Do We Become So Curious About People We Dislike? During my medical school years, I had a batchmate I couldn’t stand. She felt toxic to me — manipulative, controlling, always trying to stay ahead of everyone else. My dislike for her slowly grew into a weird fascination. What was she doing? Who was she talking to? How was she manipulating people? Soon, my friends and I bonded over our shared irritation with...

Your Life Feels Heavy Because You’re Exhausted, Not Lazy

One question always comes to my mind...  Why modern burnout has nothing to do with motivation — and everything to do with how we live. If you feel constantly tired, overwhelmed, or mentally drained , you’re not alone. Most people blame themselves: “I’m lazy .” “I lack discipline .” “Others manage, why can’t I?” But what if the problem isn’t you — it’s the lifestyle you’re trying to survive? Let me tell you why modern life exhausts us, how burnout quietly develops, and what small changes can restore energy, clarity, and emotional balance . Burnout Is Not Just a Work Problem Burnout isn’t limited to doctors, office workers , or students. It affects: - Stay-at-home parents - Creators - Entrepreneurs - Caregivers - People doing “nothing at all stressful” Burnout happens when mental load exceeds recovery . “You don’t burn out because you do too much. You burn out because you recover too little.” Signs You’re Burnt Out (But Don’t Realize It) Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic. Some...
