1st august....so much associated with this day...1st day of MBBS...in GMC in 2008!! Making new freinds, adapting to the new environment, the new pattern of study...been 4 yrs at this place and i already feel grey-haired...especially when i realise its the 4th junior batch that has started with college today.Who knew that this journey would have so much soul in it that it will change my perspective of seeing things around me almost completely! Its a complete mix of emotions...to the extremes rather...things have either been too good or too bad...never in moderation...i guess thats what has made the whole ride a topsy-turvy one! But definitely,whatever the experiences....my life has changed for the better. Makes me feel much wiser...its like coming out of the coccon...the worm transforming into a butterfly....though the butterfly has greater risks without its protective coccon when its in the free world, to look at it flying with all the beautiful colours in it...'tis itself an overwhelming feeling!
Today,august the 1st,2012...makes me so nostalgic when i reflect back to the memories that have been created in the process of my evolution as an individual. Much from my schooling years and much more from the time spent at GMC. My alma-mater has enriched me with all the lessons to be "good" individual...and yes not to forget some people have greatly influenced my transformation from a good "individual" to a good "doctor". Will always be thankful to them for it! Six months from now i will officialy be a doctor (*fingers crossed*)....the college life ends here and there come the big worldly responsibilities...not much in the literal sense but somewhat yes...internship,to secure your further admission to reach your next destination,etc,etc...
There's this dialogue by moose (my fav character from step up 3) which always keeps me going,so i would end with it....."You know, some famous guy once said: "To Travel is better than to arrive." And I was like, "What?" Because I used to think that there was only one path to take to where you want to be in life. But, if you choose that one path, it doesn't mean you have to abandon all the other ones.I realize its actually what happens along the way that counts; the stumbles, the falls, and the friendships. It's the journey and not the destination. You just gotta, I guess, trust that the future is gonna work itself out like it's supposed to."
