This is one of my favourite pictures from college days at SDM, Hassan. I don't remember the occasion, but I remember the feeling of joy and satisfaction of completing something very important. Those weren't the days of clicking and sharing, those were the days of huddling and caring. We made memories in our minds and hearts.
We were an all girls department (OBG in Ayurveda in 2010, so! ). We spoke a lot, fought a lot, taught lot and learnt quite a lot too. We were always on our toes, getting work done, chasing our teachers and sometimes running away from them. We carried patient information in our brains - 24*7 and ran around like freaks, with plates in our bags and worn out aprons for style. Our support system was made up of tiny note books and of course, each other. Our fashion forever was uptied buns, coloured pen marks, measuring tapes, stheth and ever vibrating phones. There were presentations, anxious patients and cases all day, everyday, but I don't remember being tired! That is when I truly realised what passion meant.
Those days seemed hard then, but looking back, it made us who we are now. I will always remember those girls, the ones who have influenced me in so many ways. From teaching kannada to preparing me for any difficulty, there was so much to learn.
Hostel life is another chapter but this one, my department, is truly special.
This is for my students who asked me how our post graduate days were.
Tough but worth every moment.
Just like it should be!
