In the year of 1993, a historic thing happened in Kerala: It was in
the month of October, the date is not very important, the place is-
Kottayam, the land
of letters, the literary capital of Kerala, this was the
place destined to be etched
in golden
letters in the history of Kerala, in the medical history of the world.
A group of young scholars had assembled in the old
auditorium of Medical
College Kottayam, they represented the very best of talent
and intellect among
their age group and ………they were all raring to go, to step
into the vast,many
times frustrating, but in the end always uplifting world
of medicine.

"Internists know everything and do nothing
Surgeons know nothing and do everything
Dermatologists know nothing and do nothing
Pathologists know everything and do everything
-
but a day too late"
(a not too old medical proverb)

The 6&1/2 years of training was rigorous, it was a test of
their endurance, wit
and
more than anything else a truly humbling experience which showed them
how much less we knew about life and sustenance.
This experience was the ideal
launching pad they needed, to conquer the Everest
peak called life, and to shout to
the world from there, "Yes, I exist",
for true pleasure lies in mindfulness, in living
the present moment, taking every breath as it
occurs……..effortlessly………….
