A full decade

A couple of days from now, I would have completed one decade in the field of medicine.. Not just me..Its the same for over hundred of thirty of our batchmates..
One decade is a huge time..Considering the fact that no one spends so much time for studies in any other speciality.

We started as pass outs from 12th standard to consultant in nuclear medicine....
Life has come a long way....

Those days

I still remember those days..I remember them when i'm either very happy or very sad..
The days i spent as a house surgeon during my posting in IMCU.
That dirty white coat i used to wear..the mask..
A good team of PGs we worked with..
Last but not least, my colleagues..
Sometimes, you never realise what you are in until you are in..And by the time you realise, you know you never gonna have that again..
If i had to live a part of my life again, it would be my internship...definitely...

Critics... Where are you?

One thing I am convinced beyond doubt is the fact that my life is getting bigger and better.. I have no doubts..

From the days of sub 1000 marks in class 10, when my colleagues always had a if ( if hari is getting marks because of his popularity) to entry into PGI without any preparation, my life has always been a joy ride... But its never been smooth and never been without a controversy..

Once a phase gets over, I wonder if I could have avoided that controversy.. I sure could have..

Another thing that's been happening over and over again is the fact that 'My die hard critics are simply nowhere.. They have simply disappeared... Or trying to be cordial with me..'

People who spoke *hit about me have suddenly realised that they are not at par with me..... That's the biggest victory you can score over your rivals..

And now am I complaining about my critics..? Nope, these are the guys who WTAO to make me famous.. who will not like it...

I would love to name a few of them.. But, its my policy not to return that favor ...

Yes..I did...

Finally, i decided to do it..
After all, i have to go out and practice to perfect..
With the newly bought SLR in my hands, i set out to sukhna lake...
As i walked through the crowds, i noticed people staring..
Probably they aren't used to seeing guys walk with SLR into sukhna lake..
As i walked through the gardens i desperately tried to understand how that stuff works.. Rabidly changing the settings and clicking the same frame over and over again..
Sometimes i sat down and had a look at the pictures..
And when i walked out, i saw that..
I walked past that..and there was that obsession...The obsession kept telling me "i am gonna miss something if i don't stop"
It kept worsens as i treaded along...And finally is stopped.. came back and did it..
And when i came back home and saw it on my laptop screen..I said to myself "it was worth the trouble"

Better late than Never

Well, I decided to write this blog after my junior asked me to write one...
Luckily, i had something to write..
I have 100 more days left in PGI (If not less)..
And today something worth remembering happened..

Almost everyone including me believed I was a 'medicine guy'..
But i was (? stupid enough) to choose nuclear medicine..
Everytime i see Dr.Sanjay jain during a clinical meet or hear the residents speak about him, i felt both good and bad.. Bad because i never will get to become like him.. after all we are doctors that do just scan.. they are the real doctors..

Though i had a lot of encounters with Dr. Sanjay Jain (all for the good), he never really knew me. Today, when he walked out after discussing regarding a case with my boss, turned around and told my boss to not leave me out of PGI.

Bittersweet...It could have come a lot before..some of my decisions could have been different...

Well i am happy that some people knew me in PGI...
