The Voices in my head

I am an ICU doctor. And an amateur poet. Surprised? The two don’t seem to fit in together? Well, you are up for a revelation. The numerous years in medical college, the journey through medical training has been quite an eye-opener. So many lives, touched. So many stories, revealed. So many emotions, experienced. So many thoughts, provoked. And as a result, so much noise in my mind.

‘The Voices in My Head’ is much more than a book for me. Its much more than a collection of poems. For me, it is an expression of who I am. It is a mirror to my soul. It is my smiles and tears flowing as the ink of a fountain pen. It is my joys and sorrows, my pains and bruises on paper. It is my wilderness, my insanity illustrated. It brings forth the emotions that everyone in this world can relate to. It is a painting of my love and passion. It is a sculpture of my successes and failures. It is my beating heart and my sprinting brain. It is all about me, all about you and all about the voices in my head. Read it when you are happy, read it when you are sad, read it to your beloved, read it to yourself, there is one for every state of mind, there is one for every mood. Enjoy it while sipping tea and listening to the music of rain or gift it to someone you really care for. Even if I could touch one life, I will consider my effort totally worth it.

Find it on Amazon worldwide. Drop me a message if you would like it to be sent as a signed copy and I will make sure to send some handwritten goodies along.

The Voices in my Head Just Got Louder

The voices in my head kept on being my best friends in times of grief and joy alike, without questioning, without judging, without advising and without silencing. They were there when I felt lonely, they were there when I felt crowded. They were there when there seemed to no hope, they were there when the balance of life was restored. Amazingly, with the voices in my head, I never felt abandoned or defeated. Despair was temporary, helplessness was not permanent either. And the best part was being able to pen down everything that these voices played in my ears on a paper and share it with the people who mattered the most.

The voices in my head just got louder again when I saw humanity falling apart by wars and calamities. I yearned to spread positive messages through my poems, but I simply could not ignore the crushing pain I felt every time I saw life falling apart.

If you are reading this, I want to tell you. Nothing stays forever – tears, smiles, joy, sorrow, grief, hurt and even life. Everything comes to an end. So let us be kind for our time is limited on this planet and there is no guarantee of an afterlife. Share the love and embrace your true self.

This book gives you a glimpse into the life of a woman who plays numerous roles in her life and yet never gives up when disaster strikes!

In Search of Me

the good death project

These are not just words.

These are the cries of my heart

The helpless pursuits

Of my over-reactive mind

The regrets of my past

The fears of my future

And the aches of my present day

Body and soul.

the good death project

The Good Death Project is a deeply reflective exploration of death, dying, and the experiences of healthcare professionals who witness it daily, particularly in ICU settings. Written by an intensive care consultant, the book stems from real-life encounters, emotional tolls, and the author's personal journey toward understanding what constitutes a "good death."

The book is structured into thematic parts: it begins with philosophical and emotional considerations of death, moves through the challenges of end-of-life communication, and culminates in powerful real ICU stories. Drawing on over 30 interviews with healthcare workers and loved ones, the author highlights the universal discomfort around death and advocates for open, honest conversations to reduce fear and confusion at life’s end.

Key themes include the emotional burden faced by clinicians, the inadequacies of end-of-life care in acute settings, the myths around DNACPR, and the taboo surrounding physician-assisted dying. The book integrates UK palliative care principles and religious-cultural perspectives to define a “good death” as one marked by dignity, peace, choice, and compassion.

True stories like those of Sam, Mo, Marie, Tom, and Lisa, patients from different walks of life, bring the narrative alive. They underscore the importance of timely communication, cultural sensitivity, and compassionate care. Through these, the book becomes a poignant call to normalise conversations around death, support families better, and redefine what it means to care at the end of life.

Ultimately, The Good Death Project is a tender, honest, and courageous attempt to demystify dying and affirm that a peaceful death is possible, if only we are willing to talk about it.
