Coffee and late night conversations
I learnt to make my best coffee in the medical college hostel. As freshers we were supposed to help the exam going seniors by doing small chores for them. These included picking up groceries from the nearby store or making tea or coffee for them so that they could stay awake late at night and … Continue reading Coffee and late night conversations
B for Biochemistry equations
The entire 1st year seemed to revolve around Anatomy corridor. Yet, a floor below was the most dreaded department of medical college.

A for Anatomy dissection Hall
I never knew if I wanted to be a doctor. Just like any other teenager growing up in 90s in India. I had two career options. If you are good at Maths, you become an engineer.

I can't believe 2020 would come to an end in a mere 15 days. The year which turned everything upside down.
