About
When talking about relationships, a friend once informed me of the distinction oft-drawn in the world of soft psychology between people who are thinkers and those who are feelers. I immediately gravitated to the latter, but then the former seemed to ring more true, and I continued to flip back and forth thus like a fish drying out on a riverbank.
As a first year at Harvard Medical School and a college graduate with a degree in creative writing, I started this blog with the hope of navigating my big loves. You’ll find anecdotes that reference everything from Salman Rushdie to the brachial plexus, hopefully tied together with a bit of humor, wisdom, and a lot of heart.

Hi Sam,
I am a huge fan of your blog (read all your posts!). I have a few questions about Harvard Med School since I am an applicant for this cycle. Do you think you could send me an e-mail?
Thanks!
Kay
Hey Samyukta!
Your blog is amazing! I also came across your contributions to Medscape and I think it’s great – you have a really nice writing style. I have a few questions for you; would you mind shooting me an email in response to this?
Thanks!
I’ve just read your article in Pulse and was terribly moved. Your start into medicine, and the connections you make between the intellectual and the physical cannot help but continue to be tumultuous. Your sensitivity to them is a joy to behold. Were all physicians so tuned in …. alas. I am a journalist, writing personal histories for individuals and families … it is a bottomless pit of learning. I will follow you with much interest.

I felt touched by your willingness to be vulnerable out loud.
Sam, this is good stuff
Love the new layout. Much cleaner!
