Absolutely delighted to be a part of AOI AP SOUTHCON, hosted by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, AP State. The academic deliberations were of excellent quality, and the hospitality was at its very best. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Rahman for his excellent organization and to SKE Appa Rao sir for his guidance and support. It was a pleasure to meet all my teachers, colleagues, and friends in and around Vijayawada — a place close to my heart, as I began my career at Manipal Hospital, Vijayawada, in my early years, after my post-graduation, on deputation from KMC Manipal.
