Opening message to the parting gift

All dressed up to leave (with) the final impression; though that most believe, the best is the first of impressions.

CONTENTS

It’s not just the Suit or Saree that makes the final impression, but the gratitude, the pending sorry, and many more expressions.

All are dressed up, beautiful, to make the final impression; also with hearts, beautiful, carrying feelings, taking impressions.

Individual Profiles Toppers List

The worst on the sands, and on the stones the best impression; it’s time to make amends and cherish the everlasting impressions.

Department Photos 26 Journey of 2k10

Unless you’re hit by dementia (God-Forbid) you’ll forever be cherishing the impressions of your friends in abstentia; Embark on the next journey with these impressions (Godspeed).

The stuff we’ve learnt is not just medical stuff, the reality of life: that’s the important impression, seeing life and death we learnt the purpose of our existence.

When we think of the past, it’s the beautiful things we pick out..

We want to believe it was all like that!

When we heard of it, what moved through us was a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch..

Sruket0h10) (1989-2

In Fond Remembrance Of..

Giri Laxm an (1991-2016 )

It has been said ‘time heals all wounds’..we don’t agree!

The wounds remain..

In time, the mind, to protect its sanity, covers them with scar tissue..

The pain lessens, but its never gone!

We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to understand not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget..

The song may have ended but the melody lives on!

Journey of 2k10

Edifying... Eventful... Ecstatic...

Journey of 2k10 PULSE TRIP 2012

2K13 ORIENTATION DAY

A

n article on our four and a half year journey through OMC? Well, where do we start??

Its crazy how you can look back and realise how much everything and everyone has changed. The memories you can’t forget, the moments you wish to dwell upon, the people that have entered your life and the impressions they leave on your heart. EVERYTHING. Isn’t it crazy?

This beautiful journey started with our Orientation Day - 1st August, 2010. We entered the gates of OMC all jittery and frantic, but with new hopes and aspirations. What a complicated feeling that was! The appreciation we got, the inspiring words we heard, the apron-shaped building we saw somehow created a new zeal in us.

There has always been a great connection between STRIKES and 2010 BATCH. Our college life started with a doctors’ strike REPUBLIC DAY

ARIGATO (GRATITUDE PARTY AFTER FIRST YEAR)

BATCH OF 2010 | YEARBOOK

OSMECON-2014

and all we did for a month was come, make friends, enjoy and go. Then, academics happened! The cadavers inviting us to rip them apart, the colourless chemicals of Biochemistry lab appealing us to add colour to their life, the finger-pricking and the little electric shocks of Physiology lab, the “Cream of the Society”, the punctuality and formality the Professors wanted us to maintain, the “interactive talks” with our seniors, getting dragged to strikes, the Freshers’ Party we got from our seniors, the first fest we witnessed - BEATS 2010, the nerve-wracking, head-banging study sessions not-so-long before the exams, all happened in the blink of an eye.

We opened our eyes, and there we were - SECOND YEAR! It was time to invite our juniors, by giving a Freshers’ Party - the first event that proved our batch’s unity and team work. “Fresh from anatomy”, we attended the clinicals, learnt the “art of history taking”. The place we spent our afternoons, chuddy-buddying with everyone around strangers, acquaintances, not-so-close friends, jigs, OUR Second Home in Second Year, any guesses?? Well, no rewards for guessing right - OLD CANTEEN and its huts has so many memories attached to it. Sitting under tents, we raised our fists into the air to stay united. The REF BATCH STRIKE was our first attempt at changing the rules. As an ode to our First Gurus, who guided us through our initial steps in OMC, we expressed our gratitude in the form of ARIGATO. The saga of strikes continued with the 40day PG strike at GMC. The APSA meet, yet another feather in the cap of 2k10. We put in all our efforts to help our beloved Anatomy Department. The skit performed during

the event will remain unforgettable.

Then came the 20 best days of every Osmanian’s life - PULSE. The pre-pulse discussions, the never ending shopping only boosted our excitement.

P - “Pic-O-Holism”, Purposeless Fights; U - Unlimited Masti, Unique Games; L - Lol Moments, “Lip Smacking” Delicacies; S - Spectacular Sight-seeing, Sleepovers; E - Endless Chats, Extravagant Accommodation.

From “see-and-smile” to “kick-and-laugh”, classmates to gangmates - Pulse made it all. With flooding friend requests on FB, exchange of pictures, reminiscing the best days, it took us a while to get over with the “Pulse hangover”. The much needed shock came with the Pathos (exams) of our life with those taunted drugs (Pharma) which we ended with our Micro memories. Thank God! We didn’t end up in Forensic. There ends the longest and happiest year.

The highlights of our schedule for the apparently nerdy Third Year - breakfast with “Rajiv Menon”, dinner with “Sreekanth Vemula” and scholarly Sundays with “Yogiram” and “Sunshine”. With the chant “Ganapathi Bappa Moriya” echoing around the college for 5 days, the eco-friendly Ganesha and the appreciation from Red FM, the Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations that stole everyone’s heart came to an end with the joshful Nimarjan Dances.

“In the name of Universal mother and father, the divine supreme reality” came in the form of ENT, ophthalmolo-

gy and SPM. Though the Fourth Year was the most crucial part of our academics, it started with planning for the upcoming events.

“Sincerity, Service, Sacrifice” - The true meaning of these powerful words was appreciated by us all through the National Youth Day Celebrations 2014. The Rural Health Camp at Devarakonda, Fruit distribution programme at Fever Hospital, BLS workshop, enlightening lectures on the importance of Yoga, etc gave us immense satisfaction.

OSMECON 2014, in it’s 5th edition, true to it’s motto of “pioneering pathways for medical research”, was bigger and better. The untiring efforts for sponsorship, tailoring creative events and the brilliant handling of crisis situations by the organizers were all a part and parcel of our walk down the boulevard of success of OSMECON-2014.

At the end of the day, this experience has added an enlightening chapter to our lives - full of memories, lessons and new friends.

If there’s something that taught us the most valuable lessons in life, its the three hectic months of fest work-up.

BEATS’14 was the event we’ve been waiting to organize since the first fest we witnessed. Putting aside our differences, all of us strived for the success of the event, as a Team. For all our creative ideas, genuine efforts, unswerving dedication to take form, Money was our only constraint. All thanks to our amicable sponsors, we could pull

off this spectacular event. As days passed, weeks passed... as weeks passed, months passed...as months passed, BEATS’14 approached, “revving up our adrenaline”. The Inauguration, Dandiya Nite, Live-in Concert, Choreo Nite, sports and informals were “Beyond our Imagination” and made us wish moments passed slower. The best days are when you don’t need anything extreme or special to happen to make it great. You just appreciate and enjoy, what is and that’s perfect enough. The crazy stuff we did during the 7 days, those will be the best memories. Life is not about the days that have passed but those which you remember. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the week long fest was surely one such experience.

At the end of the article, we realized that our journey is coming to an end. All the things we might’ve complained about initially - the untrimmed lawns and benches, the lecture halls and the always-under-repair projectors, the staircases with the pigeons, “the dining hall”, the traveling to the stinky hospitals - will be missed just because of our love for this journey and this college.

OMC will surely be a magical point in our memories and a journey we wish to relive!

P.S. : Remember reading about our bond with strikes?

There is yet another “We want justice” going on as we sat down to write this article. :P – Ramya Theja K. & Shreenika Siddamshetty

BATCH OF 2010 | YEARBOOK

BEATS – 2014: 7 Days of Pure Awesomeness!

T here is no denial in saying that college fest is the most enjoyable, memorable and hectic (especially for the organizing batch) period of every academic year. Apart from this, it is also a platform for everyone to exhibit their skill and talent in various extra-curricular activities. So, its no wonder that every year the organizing batch takes pride in it and makes sure every one in the college enjoys it to the maximum.

This year, like every year, the fest fever began 3 months before the actual event. It started with the formation of different committees (Core, cultural, informal, sports, magazine, etc.) and once the committees were formed the actual work began, i.e. SPONSORSHIP and also making some noise online in form of updating our Facebook page regularly, releasing teasers, etc. I must mention that we learnt a lot during this phase, which one wouldn’t have learnt without being a part of it.

Parallelly, the planning for different events to make our fest special, Cultural preparations, making a schedule for the sports, collecting articles for the magazine went on. To cut it short, this was the most crucial and testing times for us.

A formal announcement was made in the classrooms of every batch and posters were put up around the college which not only helped publicize the event but also made students aware of the various events and gave time to prepare and put in their best. With just 10 days for the event, we put up hoardings across the city (for the first time ever for our college fest) and got a very good response for that, which boosted our confidence. As the days got closer we were tensed and everyone was practically working for most of the day just to make sure everything goes accordingly, without any obstacles.

Must say that the “Pre-Fest” period is the most remarkable, hectic period for any organizing batch and ours was no different.

DAY 0 – Inaugural Ceremony: By the time all the arrangements were done we were greeted by the rains (the last thing we wanted to happen). And that, got us all tensed and depressed. When, luckily, the rain gods decided to show mercy on us, the programme started with the chief guests coming on to the dais. It was followed by letting the huge helium gas balloon into the air, unveiling the beats theme song, college fest teeshirt & magazine cover.

Then it was time for the INAUGURAL DANCE. It was

– 32 –

an amazing performance with almost 100 students performing in sync which was complimented by equally good decoration (lights&sound) which lit-up the entire area and created a happening environment.

It was followed by entire 2k10 coming on to the dais and playing with colour which created a festive mood and a good start for the remaining days.

DAY 1: It started off with Sports Inauguration which included March-past followed by inaugural matches in all the sports like cricket, volley ball, basketball, etc.

The informal events started off seeing a huge gathering for every event making them a huge success. The Singing competition saw huge participation which was followed by Dumb-charades.

Along with this the BEATS 2014 Radio started which provided us non stop entertainment with songs, RJ commentary and also at the same time making important announcements regarding the event.

The health awareness night in the evening started off with a short seminar on “life style modifications” which was followed by everyone leaving the sky-lanterns into the sky which was a visual treat.

It was followed by Basketball matches which were enjoyed by everyone (after all basket-ball is unofficially the official game of OMC).

DAY 2: It started off with the informal events which were followed by an Inter-college quiz competition with students from various college from around the city. It was followed by final rounds of dumb-charades and pot painting.

Dandiya Night – this definitely was the highlight of the day with students dancing around with dandiya sticks.

DAY 3: It started off early in the morning with “Pink Ribbon Walk” which saw a huge response with nearly 1000 students from different colleges participating in it. Waking up at early hours and coming to the venue, i.e. Peoples Plaza, Necklace Road didn’t seem to bother the students! Must mention here that we were totally surprised and elated with the success of the event.

It was already afternoon by the time everyone came to college and it was quite evident that the excitement of the music concert was building up with the arrangement going on in the ground. With just a few

JOURNEY OF 2010 BATCH minutes left for the commencement of the concert, it started to drizzle. Luckily, the clouds disappeared soon cheering us.

All this while took place while sports were going on simultaneously. The basketball match nights definitely attracted huge crowds.

Pro-Nite – It definitely was the most memorable and happening night that took place in our college. It saw a huge crowd of nearly 3000 members. The Piano maestro Stephen Devassy along with his versatile fusion band - “Solid Band” made a stunning entry on to the stage and the audience sure were stunned to witness the “flying fingers on keys” in person. It was followed by Naresh Iyer making his entry onto the stage who sang everything from soothing melodies like Roobaroo, Dil Se, etc. to adrenaline pumping numbers, thus entertaining the crowd who sang along with them making it one of the best live-in concerts.

At one point of time, the audience were singing as good as the singers (if not better). It was definitely an adrenaline pumping night and the response from the crowd was truly “beyond our imagination”, justifying our tag-line. We are sure this night will be remembered for many years.

At the end of the day couple of movies were screened on the fun stage (who wouldn’t like to enjoy the open air theatre feel) and also in the auditorium.

DAY 4: The day started off relatively late as it was past mid-night by the time concert ended on the previous day.

Our theme for this day was Traditional Day which saw girls in the traditional avatar busy getting clicked and posing for a picture at every possible situation.

The fun games at the fun-stage entertained the crowd. Anthakshari saw a very good participation with everyone singing their hearts out.

It was followed by Choreo-Night, an Inter-College Dance competition, which saw people coming from far away to stun us with their breath-taking performances.

Each and every performance was an amazing one and the judges had a tough time choosing the best one.

This event was the first of it’s kind to be organised in our college.

DAY 5: It started with Stalls with fun games in the campus, many of which were put up by students.

The stalls were really interesting and creative. This was followed by face painting competition in which students from all batches participated enthusiastically.

The theme for the day was “Rose Day” where in one could dedicate a rose to someone special; with each colour symbolizing a specific feeling.

Then came the instrumental night Harmonix: Every band performed well and entertained the audience.

Everyone was surprised to see the talent of our fellow college mates and totally enjoyed to the tunes. Their hard work and hours of practice paid off.

DAY 6 : The afternoon witnessed the Short-Film Contest which had a very good number of short films, few of them by students from other medical colleges of the state. It was an entertaining 3 hours for the entire audience. Each and every film was shot very professionally and it was tough to say that they were made by medical students!

The highlight of the day definitely was DJ Night.

Everyone danced to their full content to some mindblasting music and even after hours of dancing no one really wanted to give up, even at 1 A.M. Once the DJ Night was over, everyone settled down at the food court (which served some yummy food like bajjis, bondas and dosas, noodles, fried rice and biryani) and spent time there chit-chatting the whole night (err..

Better say till morning).

DAY 7: Everyone was obviously too lazy to get up from bed (Thanks to the previous ultra long night), so the day started only by afternoon with Treasure Hunt for which many teams turned up. Once the clues for treasure were announced, each and every team was running around the college to make sure that they found it faster than their competitors. It was followed by some events at fun stage with the much famed “red-bull” girls joining us at the stage.

It was followed by the closing ceremony, the Cultural Night. It started with the chief guests giving us their valuable messages followed by the Gold medal presentation for those who excelled in academics and prize distribution for various competitions including sports, informal events, cultural events,etc. The culturals started off with a stunning performance by the batch of 2k10 who practiced rigorously for the long medley, it was well appreciated by everyone who witnessed it. Following this were few other cultural programmes which everyone enjoyed.

Like everything comes to an end, BEATS 2014 had to come an end too. It might just be a week long event but it gave us enough memories to cherish for a life time!

The Riveting Pulse – Memories for a Lifetime

aing back to August 2012, where the so called ‘pre pulse’ excitement started amplifying. We had many of the enthusiastic mates of 2k10 pouring in the quotations of various travel agencies.

Thanks to the majority, which agreed to have SVR as the travel manager, because of which majority there are a few pages in our lives which got highlighted for the future memories, say ‘the best memories’.

I might sound cheesy and this might be a kind of cliché, but “woh bees din” showed me how extremely lucky I am to earn some of the best friends in my life. As Forrest Gump said, “Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get next”, PULSE exemplified this quote.

BATCH OF 2010 | YEARBOOK

Poet’s Delight A review by Syed Mustafa Hashmi Many a great man has spoken loftily about this art we call poetry, some said poetry is language that talks and sings and some likened it to the plucking of heartstrings. To me the evocate words of Henry David Thoreau come close to conveying the idea of what this pursuit is about - “Poetry is the only life got, the only work done, the only pure product and free labour of man, performed only when he has put all the world under his feet, and conquered the last of his foes.”

Through centuries, poetry has appealed to men in many forms. Right from the ancient Greek epics The Illiad and The Odyssey to the modern Frost or Tagore, it has caught man in its web of elegance, eloquence and passion. There’s an undeniable beauty about a random string of words coming together to emerge as a moving thought, a captivating expression or a powerful reflection. Many of the Holy Scriptures of religions, most National Anthems, mystical hymns and devotional chants – all have elements of poetry woven in them.

It’s said there’s a poet in every person. Poetry is blind to age, gender, language or theme. There isn’t another time this would seem truer to us Osmanians. The first ever poetry meet of our college was held on the 3rd of July, 2013…and what a response we got!

Walking back in time, it was about a year ago, during the usual talks in the canteen about life, universe and everything that Sana and Samatha brought up this idea of a poetry meet. Unlike most such floated plans though, this one didn’t disappear into nowhere, thanks to Dr Suresh of the Community Medicine department. He insisted that we go ahead with this and after many delays, it was eventually held.

The initial response was understandably low, as is the case with most new and untried plans. But then, there did seem to be a poet in everyone, a lot of people came forward just a couple of days before, and some even on the day of the event.

With the able backing and help from Dr. Suresh and Dr. Padmavathi of the Anatomy Department, the idea came to fruition. The Seminar Hall served as the venue and it was choc-a-bloc with poets, keen listeners, a few faculty members and even the press, before the event started.

15 fine pieces of poetry were read out spanning

English, Hindi, Urdu and Telugu. We had students from many batches and even the faculty organizers showing us their creative side. A variety of themes were touched – women emancipation, medical life, choices, world awareness, cancer, love, relationships, life and more. There were serious ones highlighting social issues, poems relating to things medical and even a few humorous pieces that had all in splits.

Everyone was heard with rapt attention and applauses were showered time and again. Refreshments were also arranged for all those who gathered.

To add more colour to the evening, Mustafa conducted a poetry quiz with questions after every alternate poem. The audience lapped it up enthusiastically, learning new facts and even answering and winning a few prizes.

All the participants were given certificates after which the reporters took a couple of interviews.

The organizers Sana, Samatha and Mustafa found it heartening to note that not just the participants but also the viewers were left delighted. The meet served its purpose and drew more people than was expected. After all, poetry does unite all under a common umbrella.

The event was favourably covered in many new outlets including the Times of India and a special feature in Eenadu. Gemini TV aired the interviews as well.

Impending exams meant some participants from the junior batch couldn’t make it. For the paucity of time, some of the poems weren’t read out. All this calls for another, bigger meet next time. Till then, keep writing folks – in writing lies a poet’s delight, doesn’t it?

A Memorable Break-fast Whenever there is a festival or occasion, no one celebrates it alone, all by himself or herself. The main joy of of any celebration lies in sharing it with your friends and loved ones. And the more people we have to celebrate it with, the better.

Ramazan is a very important occasion and we always try to share it’s blessing and virtues with as many people as possible. It was not very pleasing for us to see that so many of our college friends were missing out. That, combined with the constant demand since

the last three years by our friends, we finally decided to go ahead and conduct an Iftar party for the whole batch (Iftar is the meal that is taken to break a fast).

It wasn’t a very easy task for 14 people to organise a party for a batch of 200 students, but through the help of our friends and proper planning & co-ordination, it was accomplished.

Calling ourselves “The Fasting Team”, the 14 of us, Shagufta Tarannum, Zahra Mohammed Siddiqui, Zahra Abdul Rasheed, Ayesha Samreen, Juveria Fatima, Ramsha Tahoor Ahmed, Fatima Mehnaz Naghma, Sabeena Elliyas, Maryam Afifa, Sana Hyder, Nazma Jabeen, Talha Faiyazuddin, Syed Mustafa Hashmi and Abdul Kareem - worked through a long tiring week to make this a reality.

The response we got was overwhelming. Almost all students of our batch showed up enthusiastically.

They listened to us with patience and seemed to enjoy the meal. They were particular that the organisation was really good. We were indeed overjoyed to see our efforts come to fruit.

We never got to express our immense gratitude towards the Principal for giving us permission to conduct the event, Dr. Muralidhar, HOD of Community Medicine Department for allowing us to use the venue, and all our classmates and juniors from 2011 and 2012 batches who helped us in making it a success. I would like to use this platform to do the same.

We are all different, some of us more than others.

Differences can either closer bring us or move us farther way. It is our attitude that matters. Let us reduce these distances and enjoy our differences, and set an example of true friendship and love.

— Shagufta Tarannum

Nostalgia What is nostalgia? Why do we feel nostalgic? Wondering what made me think of nostalgia all of a sudden? Well, because this was the first feeling I’d myself experienced upon hearing about the convocation last week.

This term, first coined by physician Johannes Hofer in 1688, literally, meant ‘longing for the home’ (nóstos returning home; álgos - pain), based on observations in Swiss mercenaries. It was classified as a serious medical illness with debilitating symptoms if the yearning was repetitively unsatisfied. Home wasn’t meant in a literal sense, but as an idealized place or time. A common diagnosis in soldiers, its symptoms included eating disorders, sleeplessness, low spirits, withdrawal and even suicide. The only successful cure, back in the days, was to send the soldier home. Today, this better defined term refers to a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one’s life.

With the exception of its cripplingly sentimental effect on the choice of your favorite songs, it is not regarded as a public health issue or medical diagnosis. Like a Forensic Medicine department museum, it is a place one occasionally visits quite harmlessly, but virtually no one lingers. It is a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a

former place or time.

Don’t get me wrong, this article isn’t one of those painfully boring history lessons we suffered at the mercy of our teachers back in school, rather a revival of those delightful instances of the ‘so called’ college days. Ah, those festive lunches on the terrace, the late-night gaming wars, the regular canteen high-teas, the midlecture naps, the coffee dates, the lively organization of events’ and the entertaining sports.

We often find ourselves reminiscing about the past, let it be time, place, or person. Although it can be about any particular time in our life, it is more often highschool and college days, (or even highschool & college relationships) than others. This anomaly can be explained with concept of the lifespan retrieval curve (shown in figure) which it is an average plot of distinct autobiographical memories. It shows a ‘reminiscence bump’ which ranges from the time you-did-that-stupid-thing-at-ten to the

BATCH OF 2010 | YEARBOOK time you-settle-down-with-a-mature-head-on-yourshoulders-at-thirty. This bump occurs because memory storage is not consistent through time. Rather, memory storage increases during times of changes in the self & in goals, such as the changes in identity that occur during adolescence and early adulthood.

So this indicates nostalgia being fairly about you, to be more precise, comparison of your past self with the present.

This raises the question of ‘you’. Were you the person you think you were? Of course, who knows you better than yourself, right? Or do you? Think again. Wouldn’t you find it absurd if I were to say that you weren’t the person you think you were?

With scores of patients moving through Osmania General Hospital, we are exposed to a myriad of emotions and become a part of innumerous experiences. While most of us focus on the suffering of the patients, the plight of those who accompany them is often overlooked. Based on these memories I present my observation of those who accompany the patients-’the attenders’. Marked by my own personal experiences, this poem is a tribute to the attenders for their courage, patience and sacrifice.

Reading this, we as Doctors can look at the other side of the mirror and empathize better.

The Patient’s Attender Not all trauma is physical

Rush to the hospital emergency My loved one writhing in pain Words prick like thorns in my throat Must be courageous, have to be brave.

As it turns out, that is accurate. You were probably never the person you currently think you were.

Let me illustrate with an example. In the last decade of 20th century, groups of researchers have conducted several studies to evaluate this, and found distortions in memory upon showing artificially altered childhood photographs. Not just this, formation of new memories associated with morphed photographs & fictitiouschildhood-stories narration was noted. This is referred to as false-memory implantation, with past photographs being a powerful source of influence on memory (The Matrix? Any movie nerds?). So, in conclusion, our memories are what we capture on camera. Never thought the selfies you took were so important, did you?

This can be explained by the fact that human mind has limited storage capacity and cannot store infinite amount of anything. Hence, memories fade over a period of time, which later leads to the formation of false memories.

Who knows, maybe that’s what happened to Alice in Wonderland.

Heart pounding, hands trembling All senses taken over by fear Amidst all the chaos engulfing my mind Oh Doctor! Kind words from you I long to hear.

Could shatter into a million fragments But I stand strong holding a straight face Masking apprehensions, concealing tears Feel a hollow when you discuss ‘the case’ Every part of me I won’t hesitate to give My beloved’s health that I seek For it is the cold night that gives way to the morning light Oh Doctor! Your assurance is what I most need.

I request, plead, demand, I yell! All I want is care So desperate, wish you could cast a magic spell Gripped in doubts, wanting to scream to shout Trapped in a personal hell.

Helplessly I pray to God As I sign the’ high risk consent’ Frantically run around, for blood bags, expensive drugs To save you, every penny I have I shall spend.

A similar example is the Recall Bias - awareness of a disorder in a subject alters its recall - which is a common problem seen in retrospective scientific studies. Also, more interestingly, it has been noted that negative memories tend to fade away easier than the positive ones, as a part of your inherent defense mechanisms (Coping techniques proposed by Sigmund Freud). A simple thought experiment to prove this is, effortless recollection of latenight parties, movies or any other joyous memories in comparison to stressful examinations, viva, relationship fights or similar crises.

Prayer takes over my lips, tears roll down my eyes Oh Doctor! All my trust I have put in thee As my beloved is taken into the operating room In you a saviour, God’s angel I see.

Every passing second like a lifetime Oh Doctor! Your compassion fills me with hope When emotional turmoil tears me apart Your sincerity, service, sacrifice, becomes my support

Memory is never a precise duplicate of the original. It is a continuing act of creation.

So next time you find yourself nostalgic about your college days or past relationships, pause for a moment & look closely, was it really the way you think it is or any different? If so, then how far away from the reality?

And as for the future, don’t forget to carry your monopod along. Afterall, we don’t remember the days, we remember the moments.

Rainbow at the end of a turbulent storm Oh Doctor! I can’t thank you enough Words have deceived me but my prayers follow you ‘tis a miracle that you have done.
