Tongue in
cheek moment: being chucked out of class by some PSM reader who called me:
"You debater, you, I know you, get out of my class!"
Best
moments: All of college was like a dream, definitely the best time of my life.
Chai in the Insti, bunking clinics to watch old hindi movies, the lovely rain
in the monsoons, so light that you love driving around in it, debates, plays,
Mardi gras at IIT Madras, Pulse at AIIMS, Geetanjali express on the long
journey home to Gangtok with the mandatory nine to midnight movie at Bombay
followed by India gate, journeys on the Jhelum (Anya remember?), Katy's
"Wanted outside" or "visitor" (wonder how many guys knew
the subtle distinction between the two?), the (in)famous trip to Lonavala in
5th term, the experimentation with some "mood-altering" substances, election
parties, college week, the list is endless!
Favourite
teacher: Didn't attend enough classes to have a favourite!
What I could
change about myself? : Nothing really
Wish I could
change about AFMC: Nothing really, it was perfect!
If I was not
a doctor: Running adventure tourism!
The journey
so far: After college, internship in Base Hospital, Delhi with BKG, KK, Seema
Bakshi and Thary. Postings at MH Patiala and Sevoke road, back to college for
MD Radiodiagnosis, that is when I finally started studying and haven't stopped
since! Senior Residency in PGIMER, Chandigarh and now have been on the faculty
for 15 years. Teaching and learning with these bright young minds keeps me
young at heart, the vacations give me time to indulge my wanderlust! With
Sandha and Ravjit as my co-residents in Chandigarh, we keep meeting frequently
along with whichever U batcher happens to be posted here or passing through.
My thoughts:
You only live once, live life kingsize!
Mandy, loved reading your write-up and the pictures as well. I do remember that trip on Jhelum Express. I cannot remember the context because it was just the two of us in the 3 tier compartment. The memory sent a tiny shiver down my spine, I wonder why. Please fill me in. ;)
