Dear Readers,
Welcome to the latest edition, Volume 4 of PathVarna! This marks the beginning of a new chapter as we proudly present a fresh, revamped design. Beyond the Microscope - The Human InSitu is the running theme for this edition with an exploration of humanity “in its natural place”, as seen through the perspective of a pathologist.
This issue covers two inspiring interviews with stalwarts of pathology, Dr. Usha Kini and Dr. Suresh Hanagavadi. We are also excited to introduce new sections: a dedicated Resident's Section, Just for Path and Fun Path - a fun way to participate with our discipline beyond conventional formats.
Of course, PathVarna remains a platform for creativity and expression. Alongside scientific discourse, this edition is enriched with articles, poetry and travelogues from pathologists across the state, offering a glimpse into lives and passions that shape our community.
I thank my Newsletter Committee team for supporting and curating this. We are a new, young and energetic team, full of promise and refreshing ideas. Your feedback and contributions continue to shape PathVarna and we look forward to more.
Happy reading!
Dr. Ramya Suresh

Besides being an ardent pathologist, I am a creative writer and believe strongly that "a drop of ink can make millions think". I am a Nature Enthusiast always trying to find serenity in nature and a "Geek of Green" with a special interest about indoor gardening. I am fascinated about travelling too which I believe is the best way for self healing!
Besides being a Pathologist, my other favorite things are expressing myself through my writing & music, being out in the nature with my dog and travel to faraway land & learn about different cultures and traditions. I consider myself an old soul & believe we should make the best of whatever little time we got on this planet.
A passionate pathologist with a zeal to teach and learn. I love to sing, write poems, paint my heart out, learn new crafts, cook new recipes, photograph nature, bird watch, dance and explore the world. I believe in living life to the fullest and appreciating the little joys of life. Determined to make a difference, here I am!
