My Profession!

In west, by west I usually mean US, they say "Pursuing a career in Medicine, you have to give it your Life-time!" And I used to wonder,"is it so?"

I am standing at the end of, what is often labeled as the 'Golden-Period' of life, my six year long College life! Within less than two months from now I will be gone from here and I am not sure if I will ever have the opportunity again to come back here at my proud alma mater- Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla which has made me whatever I'm today!

It has given me a lot but still I feel so inadequate in my abilities that it's sometime difficult to imagine that in a few months' time I'll be shouldering great responsibilities like saving people's lives!! Now I realize that it's not just the saying "...it takes your life-time..."

Choices is Ours...

We all know it; in fact we have been reading this since our childhood, ‘When not interfered, everything nature does is done with perfection!’ We have learnt it in our school textbooks and we all do agree with it... but when I see those little angles on 4thfloor of Emergency building of IGMC ( that is our Prdiatrics ward) suffering from diseases which have got no cure and which are going to make the life of these little angles miserable one, I ponder where has the natural order of things gone? Where is the so called nature’s perfectness?
