Almost Done with October—Are You on Track?
Time really does fly, doesn’t it? We’re already deep into October — that quiet point in the year when summer memories feel distant and the new year somehow starts to appear on the horizon. It’s the perfect moment to pause and ask yourself: Am I on track with what I wanted to achieve this year?
If your answer is “not quite,” that’s okay. Most of us start the year with big goals — new habits, projects, travel plans, fitness targets — and then life happens. But the beauty of October is that there’s still time. Ten weeks remain in the year. Ten weeks to finish strong, pick up what you paused, or simply realign with what truly matters.
This month, try this small reflection exercise:
Look back: What’s one thing you’re proud of accomplishing this year, big or small?
Look forward: What’s one unfinished goal you’d still love to see through?
Take action: Write one simple step you can do today to move closer to it.
Momentum builds through small, intentional actions — not perfect plans. So, even if 2025 is approaching fast, remember: the story of your year isn’t over yet. You still have time to make it meaningful.

🎤 Speaking at NUST
I recently had the privilege of speaking at the PADS Annual Congress at NUST Islamabad, where I shared insights on “The Dentist’s Career Roadmap” — exploring how dentists can shape fulfilling, diversified careers in today’s changing world. It was inspiring to connect with so many passionate future dentists and exchange ideas on growth and leadership.
🏔️ A Road Trip Adventure (That Didn’t Go as Planned!)
Earlier this month, I set out for a friends’ trip to Murree — only for our journey to take an unexpected turn when road blockages due to dharnas forced us to stay overnight in Sialkot. Sometimes unplanned detours bring the most memorable moments — laughter, long talks, and chai in unexpected places. We discovered something interesting about Sialkot…

“Is Oil Pulling Really Beneficial?” — I explored one of the oldest Ayurvedic practices that’s recently become popular again. In this video, I talk about what oil pulling actually does for your mouth, whether it truly helps reduce bacteria and improve gum health, and what science says about it.
New Instagram reel: Smile Makeover Transformation — a young man who broke his incisor while playing cricket now has his confident smile back. It’s one of those cases that remind me why I love what I do.
🌍 Travel + Thoughts
Between clinic milestones, travel surprises, and creative work, I’ve been reflecting on how movement reshapes perspective — a theme I’ll be diving deeper into in the future editions. (Hint: it’s about slowing down and finding beauty in ordinary moments.)
Here’s to finishing the year with focus, gratitude, and a smile.
