How did you find my stories?

About Me

My photo
I would describe myself as someone who prefers to be out there, soaking in the moment, admiring natural beauty, travelling to new places, all this alone, but wouldn't mind company. Also I have this thing to do something new everyday, refusing to fall into the monotony of life. I am an intern (MBBS) in MGM's medical college in Aurangabad. I always wanted to become a writer and arts attracted me more than science. But being practical and thinking about a career and all set me into this Human science world. Turns out, no matter how hard you try to forget the things u love, it finds a way to ooze out from you in some way eventually. And given in have I, on this inevitable attraction which has commanded me to write this blog ;)

Towards the end of US trip

It has been over 70 days that i have been in the US. I feel that this period was the fastest moving days of my life so far. All my milestones in the past were spaced out in that interval of a good few months or years with ample of stagnant spells in the middle where you live life daily just to get by. I think my career goals took a blitzkreig towards a direction, and when I look back I have very few days to call a day wasted. 
I was on a flight to Atlanta, US on 29th Feb, 2016. I had my father as my co traveller and the flight never felt as long as on paper. Because it was Air France, we had a wonderful selection of wine for drinks, food was served with a chunk of cheese and fresh bread. And one more thing I remember even after two months is the video they had for flight safety precautions. It had a playful playback music with a woman who is dressed as an airhostess with an adorable French accent guiding you through the demo of a group of girls with colorful skirts doing the safety protocols with a sense of pomp and grandeur which actually makes you watch the whole video without getting bored. Here's the Youtube link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0N3J6fE-0JI

So then after a good 20 hour flight, you come out of the airport to a place clearly brighter, organised, beautiful, cleaner than Mumbai. I was in Atlanta for two days at my sister's place. Then had a flight to Cleveland for what turned out to be a memory imprinted in my brain for life. I started my electives in one of the most elite healthcare providers in the world, Cleveland Clinic Foundation. I did a month in Endocrinology and Cardiology each (CCF is #1 in Cardiology in the US for successive years). Working, for the first time, was fun and motivating. Then I gave my Step 2 CS exam in Houston on 12th May. It went well and I was able to reach to justifiable differential diagnosis for each of the 12 cases. I hope I will pass. And here I am on post exam day one, chilling at cousin's with no immediate tasks or concerns. I will be flying back to India in a week and I cannot thank enough for all those who made this possible.
