Just at the bottom of the Medical Pyramid

I had a good day today. After managing to wake up early and put in some reading of behavioral sciences, I relaxed for a greater part of the afternoon and had an outing in the evening with some elective students that I've managed to make friends with . These include 2 really funny Afghans, a TamBram American Indian, and this guy Ninad who has managed to travel and live in a lot of cities in India and is presently studying medicine in Germany .

Ninad has cycled from Germany all the way north to Scandinavia last summer over 28days . Which is amazing . Everytime I meet new people I realise the reality of how much I have really done in life and more importantly, how much remains to do . In retrospect, somehow being among the better students in school resulted in me studying hard henceforth and somehow landing up in KEM, only to face the prospects of having to go on studying hard.

When I spoke to Ninad, he mentioned that since he always like relaxing more than studying, that resulted in him having to go to study abroad in germany where he did a bachelors course followed by a random application to medical school that somehow got accepted. And now here he is, on the verge of beginning residency with a good 2k Euro a month . Absolutely brilliant. Put in having cycled all the way up north, being the lead singer of a band, and having lived 9 years in Europe . I so want to be him right now .

Changing tracks, I must talk more about the title of this post, which is about me beginning my internship at a Municipal Hospital in mumbai where I'll work 8 hours a day, sometimes upto 24 doing mostly blood collections and learning whatever I can practically listen to or be taught ( who's chances I wish were stronger )  while they pay me a stipend of 2,300 a month . I love my life.

Today evening was fun, and I come back pumped with endorphins, feeling all good and happy.

Must sleep now to wake up at 5 that is, if the mind permits.
