The Other Perspective

I can't forget the wise nuggets like 'simple living high thinking' or 'strive for the best and accept what you get,' very religiously inculcated within my mind by my father during my childhood.My beloved teacher, Ms. Usha Jain, used to inspire me by saying, "You are very special, you can accomplish anything."Coming from a very humble, mediocre family and a small suburb of Jagraon (Punjab), I kept rising the ladder of success till I joined the medical profession.It was not even in the dream of my dreams that my life would turn this way.Even today, I am surprised at myself sometimes.Only sometimes.
