Some things that I will always remember…………..

Some things in chitradurga which I shall always remember when v used to go on search of patients….

 

Those miles and miles of walking....in every possible small lanes just to check if v got lucky with a classII….

Those bike rides to reach Nehru nagar I, II, IIIrd cross….bhurjan hatti…azad nagar…fort…all possible hostels…village next to reliance A1…n every possible lane in durga.

Those stop outs… for a mirchi bonda….and a cuppa tea in a nearby stall….

 

Those walking trips with a mouth mirror and probe in the hand and zeal in mind that v have to find some patient no matter what!!!

Those stopping people in lanes, shops, or roads for an oral check-up…

Those chocolates and candies that v gulped down frequently….on our way to a tiring job!!

Those cold drinks and mineral water bottles when v got completely exhausted with no strength to move on………

Those jokes that v cracked while moving on in search….

Those hindi, English, Punjabi songs on balle’s compass box(mobile) to give us an extra zing while on hunt!!! One of the BEST things that counted was we successfully completed all the quota with sincere efforts…that’s what counts!

 

But most of all… I’m gonna miss u guys…for the times v spent in the difficult situations of our life… I guess the most troublesome period of dentistry but v got through beautiful with each others company….Cheers!

Someday when v become really successful in our fields each one a master in their own way…we will realize the fun times v spent then in durga cannot be replaced with anything and surely we gonna think of our clinical batchmates!! Do get back to mE in case u have a same feelin…down the lane someday!

journey as a final year dental student!!!

So now I was a final year student very happy to believe that finally only one year left but it was like the biggest mountain to climb coz ours was the first batch in rajiv Gandhi university of health sciences to change this pattern of having two semesters of six months with 4 subjects every semester but now v had 7 subjects at a stretch without a single break during theory exams which means 7 sleepless nights with huge books to revise a day before the exam…… the thought of appearing for 7 days a stretch sent shivers down my spine….. Anyways now started departments…Oral medicine was fun… First department went in discussions and taking case histories and learning to take radiographs… then came perio—which means scaling(cleaning) dirty possible teeth on this earth, full of calculus stains that too not possible to clean with hand instruments but had no choice… we had to finish 25 patients as quota..But then it wasn’t simple coz of discussions and every case v had to take case history discuss with HOD then once given a discussion to their satisfaction v could actually start the case which again took 2 days…which means every patient was taking 3 days minimum so in a month v had to finish 25 cases which is too much… but then v had culturals and other annual functions so somehow v escaped the grill comparatively which was more for our previous batch but we managed to complete 24 cases. Oh I forgot to tell you what the we comprises of…we means clinical batchmates – myself, aisha, Deepak and amitoj.

Now came conservative and Endodontics… again we were supposed to do 15 class II …10 class I…5 IPC’s…5 GIC’s…and composite..all these r cavity cutting types…Out of which v somehow finished class I’s in 3^rd year..and now class II’s mattered because the dean we had then, was a conservative and endodontics HOD and was very very strict..she fined every case that wasn’t completed or the quota that was not over.. she fined every damn possible thing… attendance shortage fine!!! Quota not over fine…!!!

For sometime she was also warden…so booking tickets without her permission also lead to FINE!! Which was in thousands…So to actually get rid of fine we had to slog.. we toiled , searched patients in every nook n corner of chitradurga…moreover she also ended up in many casualities due to incomplete quota which meant repetition of a subject after 6 months which we were not ready for, come what may!!!

4 Of us used to go in search of patients in the evening after college hours and returned back only after hostel in timings.. we used to be dead tired.. so tired that v could not even sit for a minute..v used to come keep our bags and straight hit the bed for a while…with great efforts v used to go down till the mess cribbing to have dinner…come back lie down again… final year taught us to take worst possible conditions… we had 21 internals in 10 months… everytime they announced an internal v slogged 2 days before it..and the only possible time to study was after dinner or between the sleeps in the night because there was no stamina left after searching patients to sit with the book and understand the crux of the matter…we rested till 10 and after ten v used to study for next day discussion…I used to push myself thinking “I have to move on… Nothing comes easy” but we ended finishing 15 cases for classII …I think I can handle things much better with pressures hovering on my head after facing conditions in final year… Now came prostho department postings we were supposed to complete 3 complete denture cases… so we slogged one month and finished just that… Then came pedo postings … by this time we became resistant to work we didn’t feel like working at all…we used to go to department attend postings give discussions but not go out to take a single case… this continued for a week our staff got mad and came to us and shouted that you guys are not interested to work…?? Wat is wrong with this batch?? And we were like

“ leave it ya… v need some rest”  after that v used to go on search of patients and come back at 12:00 without any patient and v used to get really screwed by our professors or was it the other way round as they started thinking that our batch was worst not ready to take up cases… probably not knowing that v were the only batch finishing all the cases quota on time till now in all other postings… we were told to do extra cases for the delay and we did that too by the end of postings,, our batch did new cases like topical fluoride application… again we finished more than 25 cases around 35. Now came ortho department… worst of all spending time in ortho department was biggest deal… sitting continuously for 4 hours without a break with pliers and wires trying to make clasps, springs, bows, retractors, appliances was very very dry and boring… v were several times thrown out as usual outstanding students…. With wire bending exercises to b done standing out of department but by this time v had become so shameless that it was like very unusual if v were not thrown out for some reason v used to start feeling uncomfortable and made it sure that v were thrown out someday and like this atleast it was easy spending sometime in ortho department… anyways again somehow I finished the quota… ortho was my last department I still remember …due to final internal assessment v could not complete postings and v were seriously not at fault and could not complete our quota so v had been screwed even more… 1 week before theory final university exams I was completing my ortho quota…amazing isn’t it??

Only department which I loved in entire final year or which was actual learning or really interesting and fun as work to me was oral and maxillofacial surgery… we were supposed to do 25 cases and v all ended up doing around 40-42 cases… I loved doing extractions.. and assisting impactions… I loved oral surgery.. till date I just love it. Our third internals theory marks were announced and I did really bad in perio… guess what was I doing 5 days before final theory exam papers??? I was writing 3^rd internal assessment question answers 5 times….to submit or else I would not get my hall ticket… how does it sound? Psycho ? isn’t it? Yes I was making charts and writing theory impositions 5 days before university exams this was because ours was the first batch for 7 subjects together and college didn’t know how to handle students… our internal assessment marks were given like 13/25 as if they were doing some great philanthropy on students or some kind of charity that 13/25 was given… where else other colleges minimum  marks sent are around 17-18 which ensures that atleast passing would be not much trouble… but with 13marks I used to sleep with books, wake up with books with a thud on my mind that I am gone, I flunked in prostho and ortho…I used to get nightmares that I am gone…I used to struggle with books on my bed ,sleep with books, wake up with them… sometimes I used to sleep with my specs on me and books opened on my bed.. sometimes I used to sleep with that posture ,sitting on my bed with books open and my roomie used to wake me up… I usually slept just 3 hours in the night…

Somehow I and my friend v pushed each other few days before exam and used to read those books with a thought of passing somehow…soon exams approached.. I just know that all 7 nights I was wide awake with so many books on my bed with my friend trying to read till the last second of exam… I somehow attempted all papers… oh my god those times… I still get feeling of an exam tomorrow and trying to read something one night before… my god those night outs… those acidity feelings due to sleepless nights… to top it up those extreme cold conditions with rains…made sure v all had a tough  time… I still remember those pictures in my mind… all girls with books ,some roaming in the corridors, some in the mess some outside…some in rooms.. with scarves and socks.. with a cuppa tea or coffee to keep ourselves awake.. with crazy tension lines on foreheads…all immersed in reading some part of the book… we used to have those breaks wherein we used to peep in each others room or run into each other to push each other by saying how is it going? I read this and this.. what did u read?  I don’t know what I read… I really don’t understand what I wrote in papers.. last paper was 7^th and was completely exhausted 6 sleepless nights and perio paper.. to make it worse the paper was very tough.. I looked at the paper for first ten minutes… I was just staring at the paper don’t know what to write? Or where to start from? Somehow wrote something… just wanted to get done with theory papers…now when I look back I still feel its impossible to crack final year with condition like ours but god’s been kind to me that somehow I managed to clear 7 at a stretch.. I scored good marks in theory in prostho, ortho and surgery. The ones where I was so scared coz of less internal marks…Final year is the toughest cake to crack….i sometimes look at the books lying on my shelves and my mind is hit with a series of questions like…….how did I clear final year? Can I read them again, given the same circumstances?...i still wonder……how I read those HUGE TOUGH DRY Books !! And since my final year I have seen my interests for reading go low…..not just the books reading anything for that matter….novels, books, newspapers, magazines…can’t sit with them for long hours anymore ;-) lolz…..

 

Who gives to all a helping hand, But bows his head to no command And higher laws doth understand? Inventor, genius and superman?? He is the Aquarius!!!

Aquarius Jan 20-Feb- 18 Ruling Planet   Uranus Glyph   Nature Positive Quality Fixed Key phrase I Know !!!  Keywords Independent, Humane Main Trait Friendliness Principle Distribution Symbol Water Bearer Colors Electric Blue, Turquoise Metal Aluminum Gem Aquamarine Body Parts Ankles, Circulation Lucky Number 7 and 1 Lucky Day Wednesday Trees All fruit trees Flower Orchid Herbs Chilies, Pepper Energy Yang Countries Sweden, Poland, Israel Cities Moscow, Salzburg, Hamburg Moscow Ancient drawing of Aquarius Animals Bird Kingdom Notable Aquarian Abraham Lincoln Element Air

Aquarius The ruler of Aquarius is Uranus. Its symbol represents water, a universal image which dates back into prehistory. This will also be recognized in the Egyptian hieroglyph representing the same.The association in Aquarius is that of the servant of humanity pouring out the water of knowledge to quench the thirst of the world.                    Personal Traits Aquarians are interesting and attractive people. they can be shy, sensitive, gentle and patient or enthusiastic and lively with a tendency to be exhibitionists. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their own way. Very opinionated with strong convictions, they fight for what they believe in. They will argue vehemently for what they believe to be true. These are farsighted people and innovative. They are generally without prejudice and quite tolerant of the point of view of others. They have an interesting side to their nature that allows them to see a valid argument even when they disagree with it. They are quite objective folk and never get waylaid by being too close to an issue or person.  Aquarius is truly a humane, human being. Known to be frank and outspoken, Aquarius makes for a serious and genial companion. Refined and idealistic, romantic but practical, they are personable and likable people. Quick in mind and quick to respond, Aquarians love activity and are quite reasonable, though difficult to get close to. They cherish and guard their independence, and are a strange mixture of caring concern and cool detachment. They will go out of their way to help when needed, but never get involved emotionally.                                                           Positive Traits Aquarians are usually intelligent, cool, clear, logical people. They have good imaginations and are quite intuitive. Aquarius is drawn to and inspired by great causes.They are not limited to their environment and disappointments don't deter them from their goals. They often adopt a life style that goes against the trends, because the odd and unique fascinate them. Whether the retiring or the outgoing Aquarian, both types appreciate opportunities to be alone. They enjoy their own company and are recharged by this quiet time. Rarely content being followers, they are more often society's trend setters. They do not take kindly to interference by others, even if it is well intended. Most Aquarians appreciate beauty and balance, possessing an excellent sense of aesthetics. This is often expressed by interests that can span drama, music, art, and science. Main postive traits: Progressive, independent, inventive, friendly, humaitarian, originality. Negative Traits  Aquarians are an enigma. On one hand they are warm, kind, and outgoing, the sort to make friends easily and willingly. On the other hand, they are quite aloof people, who do not actively seek out relationships, and resent any infringement on their time or resources. They are engaging, yet unreachable. They can be fascinating and dynamic, while lacking any real warmth or endearing qualities. Among the faults, which are typically Aquarian, are extreme eccentricity, and an unwillingness to participate in any standard of protocol. When angered, they become seriously rude, alternating between deafening silence and sudden outbursts of temper. Main negative traits: Unemotional, aloof, tempermental, unpreditable, eccentric, fixed opinions.                          Profession Aquarians work best in group projects, but must be recognized as having a leading role. They make excellent researchers and admirable scientists, especially astronomers and natural historians. They may lead the field in photography, computer technology, Radiography or electronics .Aviation is also a natural vocation for Aquarians In the arts and humanities, their progressive talents are expressed well in writing, particularly poetry, and in broadcasting. In the theater, they make good character actors, and are natural mimics. Possessing an affinity for rhythm and timing, many Aquarians make fine and progressive musicians. In the service fields, they can be effective welfare workers or educators.                     Lucky Stone                                                                            Amethyst A form of quartz, with a silicon dioxide composition is Amethyst. The majority of quartz samples are clear, but amethyst derives it's beautiful purple appearance due to small amounts of iron impurities in the crystal lattice.           Advice for the Aquarians In the midst of a crusade they can be so completely devoted, that they drive themselves to the edge of complete exhaustion. This trait can be disheartening to those near and dear. Quite capable of sustained anger and hard feelings, they should tune out the perceived offender, and retreat to their own private world. If they overcame their sensitiveness and developed their will power then there is no position in life that they coul;d not attain.Aquarians ar likely to suffer from disorders of stomach and eyes.                 Origins in Mythology To fully To fully appreciate the mythological significance of Aquarius, it is necessary to bear in mind the importance of water to our ancestors. The very existence of the ancients depended upon the supply of life sustaining moisture. During the month of Aquarius, the rains were on the land, literally poured from the heavens. In many regions of the ancient world, this was seen as the beginning the new year, a time of new life cycles. It is not hard to understand why some images depict the figure of Aquarius as a water bearing angel or other divine being. The region of the night sky in which Aquarius resides is populated by water signs. In Babylonia, this region of the zodiac was known as the Sea.To the Greeks, Aquarius was associated with Ganymede, the son of Tros, king of Phrygia. The god Zeus, so admired the boy's beauty that, disguised as an eagle, he abducted him to serve as cup bearer on mount Olympus. It was this desire to possess the young prince which inspired Zeus to cast his image eternally in the night sky. the mythological significance of Aquarius, it is necessary to bear in mind the importance of water to our ancestors.

journeY as a 3rd year dental student!!!

journeY as a 3rd year student!!!
Here I was finally entering the departments… it was awesome feeling yes clinics and all.. now v could actually treat patients…v had clinical batches now… our entire batch was divided into nine subjects of dentistry to attend different postings… v were a batch of 13… amazing… first six months went off without any struggle… there was no staff for general medicine and general surgery.. the staff that was appointed had some conflicts with the dean of dental college…then! All we did was going to the appointed staff beggin them to take classes … again going to dental college dean and asking her to conduct classes and from there coming to medical college dean begging for the same..this shows how well coordinated is education system in professional colleges…so first six months v just did nothing… 2 medical subjects and one dental subjects all neglected….with procrastination encore…
V used to come back to hostel… cook food on heaters.. get veggies from the market… hog like cows stuff ourselves… sleep…get up…hog again… fool around and sleep!!!
Now came a new in charge for Oral pathology dental subject…again he screwed our happiness… v were taught extra to cover up the 6 months that were not used… now we started realizing general medicine and general surgery are medical subjects and with not a soul to teach us v must actually start reading ourselves…. 3 months before the final exam … v had a news that our batch was the first one to give 7 subjects a stretch in final year with semester system being called off…and instead of 4 papers in 6 months each semester way…one paper of final year was clubbed with 3rd year subjects and 7 were made to be given in a shot.
Though it wasn’t confirmed…thankfully me and my friend went to the dean to ask her if it was actually there…the most astonishing part was she was not aware… she confirmed it with the staff and was like yes its there for ur batch and I could feel the sand moving beneath my feet…I was like VOW! This is awesome…nobody knows anything and one fine day they r like ur batch has 4 subjects in 3rd year and 7 subjects a stretch for final year….
Its now when the fear gripped us tight with not knowing what would v do with a final year subject in 3rd year and with 3rd year subjects not given much importance till now…
We had out of the way classes for final year subject … our portions were completed within 3 months…suddenly everything started rolling too fast…
V had our theory papers…somehow I managed to write something…by now v got used to writing papers…something relevant something irrelevant all clubbed together to make it look big and worth fetching us some marks….
Needless to say our surgery and medicine papers were tough … v somehow filled in the sheets with whatever v could recollect…now since the 2 papers in line were not good… I thought that 3 rd paper is personally goin to be tough too…so this being a dental subject very very huge to revise a night before…with so many things to be precise in each disease…I started revising with the most unexpected chapters…toughest…and could finish only one chapter till 3 am…then got so bugged that randomly revised somethings and was revising till the last second before entering the examination hall…I did not revise the most off repeated and important pre-cancerous lesions and conditions…thinking it to be too easy to be asked…
To my awe…I find the first long note…pre cancerous condition…I was regretting why? Why I did this to myself? Why I did not read this? But then I had an idea what it was… though one knows what it is but in dentistry its very important for the last time peep before an examination to boost your answer on that sheet…my personal experience…but somehow I wrote something… it was the worst paper of my 3rd year with so many regrets on my mind…if I would have read the off repeated easy questions…………..!!!
I came back cried…slept off …let go!
Next was the final year paper…I read every single page before an exam not ready to repeat another disaster…somehow I was backed by my brother…he boosted up my morale… I wrote well…
It turned out to be very good… I scored 70/100 in theory… which is very good. In practicals I took help from medical interns to teach me the basics needed for examination somehow got through….

Here I was with results out once again happy to know that I am 3/4th doctor…lolz…now a final year student!

JourneY as a 2nd year dental student!!!

So now I was a second year student…traveling back from home after my first year results was a mixed feeling…. A good feeling which was like Vow finally 1 year gone and I am 1/4^th of a doc. But at the same time…oh man not again away from home….same place…same college….again nostalgia to worry u….

But then soon second year started… we got to know what real dentistry is like… carving an actual tooth-size tooth from a wax block, cutting cavities and filling it with silver amalgams…arranging teeth as for complete dentures in an ideal relation… All of which was too much for a start… now our batch went on for a mid-term vacation and returned back a bit late…planned mass bunking say 1 week extra…And here we were …. Badly screwed by our new incharge… he made sure v don’t get a minute to think something other than prosthodontics… we toiled like donkeys… we used to fabricate occlusal rims till 4 am in the morning… A sudden forward sms saying submit mounted rims by 9:30 tomorrow morning…was enough to scare the shit out of us…and v used to sit in the reading hall with our prostho lab opened working on our spirit lamps with some oldie songs like kishor kumar till 4 am trying to get our hands on making an ideal looking pair of rims….

This went on and on for an entire year so much that v actually had no time to think about theory papers…subjects like microbiology, general pathology, pharmacology, dental anatomy and oral histology were all lying on our shelves waiting for us to actually go to them and open them and try to grab some part of it…but in vain… twenty days before the exam here we were… our batch pushing each other …get up study man 20 days left…wake me up at 12 plz… did u read this plz explain me this…. Some sitting in corridors… some in reading room…some in the mess…some outside under a tree…some on the terrace…some in rooms…some in college libraries…but everyone toiled… day and night… one thing I must say about my batch even though v were fun loving, believed in total pranks and unadulterated joy…but each one of us made it a point to be extremely serious and hard working during exam preparation leave….some studied off repeated questions and answers…some studied seniors notes…some studied std texts..some studied short handbooks…some did not read themselves but made it a point to get it all by their friends  for the first reading… but in the end everyone did well…and cleared…! For the entire year our seniors used to make fun of our batch, look at budding prosthodontists… they work on prosthetics like a PG in prostho like a maniac…I wish they could know how it is to work like that, with deadlines set a night before, for the next morning!!

Anywayz… there came my exams…again this time a wonderful thing happened one night before DAOH theory… I got allergic rhinitis.. running nose…watery eyes…sneezes…not able to read a word…got so pissed off..but still was pushing myself with a book…I was scared not to take cetrizene tablet as it would put me to sleep…and repeated sneezes made me pop half a pill of cetrizene and my roomie was like u sleep I will wake you up at 3am.. I believed her and put an alarm and slept off… poor me…she also slept off my snooze kept ranging and hardly I could realize…. My mom called me up at 6am to wish me good luck for the paper…and that’s when I actually got up…….Amazing…I was badly screwed…I hated myself at that point of time for not getting up on time or for popping that pill or for giving in to allergic rhinitis…I cried aloud……washed my face… took my hand book forgot the standard text that I read for the whole year as it had pages and pages of stories on a single chapter…And I had no time…2 subjects Dental anatomy and Oral Histology and 2 ½ hours… lovely….i thought I am gone…this is dental subject…I am screwed up… my mom gave me a new hope…she said “ Is it the first time you are reading?? Just flip pages and go … I know u have read well for the entire year and you gonna do well…”

I was like….I HOPE I CAN DO SOMETHING!

Somehow read OH enamel, dentin, cementum, pulp, tooth development…I was reading till the last second before entering the examination hall… I hardly read DA… it was untouched.. I was like if it comes I have some idea shall write atleast something that a tooth has so many roots so many cusps…so many root canals..so many curves and all dat crap… look at my confidence I mean I don’t know what happened but I somehow did not give it much importance….

Here comes the paper…………….one DA question for 5 marks out of 100 rest all OH…….i was like vow was paper setter my relative? Did he know that I haven’t read DA? It was a very strange pattern no DA long note, no DA …majority of OH and I was like OH MY GOD! I wish I had revised OH better but then somehow I just wrote well….i scored 67/100 in DAOH…

I have noticed in my exams when something like disturbed mind or not proper revision happens I tend to do much better when I have revised well it becomes a bit tough although it feels like I have done well after my exams but somehow not so prepared turns out to be better than well prepared… strange but true!!!

In practicals…I was complimented for a good carving on silver amalgam restoration by my external examiner…It felt awesome!

And here I was again…second year cleared!!! Another sense of achievement! Yippy I am ½ doctor now!! But I realize now our batch has the BEST handwork in prosthodontics till date… and it wouldn’t have been possible without all that grill!!!

 

awesome chitradurga!!!

 

 Some really nice memories.... see the landscape ... the left snap shows the view from my hostel window....and the snap above shows evening magic of sky ........ beautiful isn't it?

JourneY as a 1st year dental student!!!

JourneY as a Dental student:

 

September, 2003… I can’t explain the feeling I underwent these days as it was the first time I was away from home, all by myself here far far away from my loved ones, with a dream in my eyes to be a dentist and do some good to my family… But it was tough… a feeling of strong nostalgia surrounded me like the clouds surround the moon…I was terribly home-sick…I weeped…I cried…I bursted …but moved on… pushed on myself to follow the path I chose coz I was sure there will be no looking back once I have made my mind!

I made new friends…different people from different places with different cultures but same motive, staying under a roof…that’s called Hostel…

At first it was way too tough to cope up with so many people but things got eased with time… Academically, I toiled with a burning zeal to do good and justice to my decision fro a lifetime to be a dentist… I worked hard…but yes “all work and no play makes Alice a dull gal” and I surely wasn’t dull so I made sure to enjoy myself with my friends out here…

We used to go out for regular movies, bunking classes enjoying weather, hogging on lip-smacking dhaba aloo parathas, sleeping with soft music on cracking jokes…. Sipping a cuppa tea with friends on terrace in the eves… the place is awesome…the best thing about my journey as a dental student is the place---Chitradurga… a small hamlet, 5hrs from Bangalore, away from all the pollution, population, close to nature, surrounded by hills, rocky mountains and windmills with cool breeze making sure to comfort you… Lovely nature pictures landscaped embossed in my memories forever….those sunrises… those perfect sunsets behind the mountains....sky studed with stars in the moonlight with coolest breeze surely carrying you away from this world….those early morning sights from my hostel room window…with fog and drizzling raindrops with windmills trying to cut the fog…early morning chills…awesome…the whole scenario is deeply carved in my mind forever…a perfect place to take it as a student…no hangouts… hostel to hospital and vice-versa…in this small place.

The thought of being a first year student makes it very difficult as its just a start and u always count the years ahead to prefix the much awaited DR to ur name.

I fared well in exams… I cleared first year exams with good marks… I was happy and ready for the grilling of second year…

I scored 73% obviously not bad for a start…. But then only I know how I appeared for my theory exams….just before my anatomy theory paper I got a shocking news from one of my school friends that one of our common friends was no more and had met with an accident…this friend of mine an Mbbs student..i could not believe it… I was in some other world…my friends were struggling hard for the toughest subject ..revising, learning…And I still remember I was sitting with a book weeping, thinking of him knowing not a single word striking my disturbed brain…. It was 3 am I didn’t know what to do? As I had not revised anything and my brain wasn’t working…My roomie made me sleep for an hour forcefully ..i woke up at 4:30 am and again somehow tried opening the book afresh…Anatomy…Histology…Embryology…Osteology???? I got mad as I hadn’t read a single word…And here I was sitting with 4 great books to revise and 4 hours before exam… I don’t remember what I peeped into…but just an hour before exam I looked up at god and prayed… “god, I don’t know what I am upto…I know I haven’t revised before the exam and I am looking upto u…just save me…I surrender myself to u just help me…gimme strength to move on…” This is what I clearly remember…And u know what?? The paper was great…or may be I liked anatomy very much and used to put in a lot for entire year…but the end result is astonishing…Its been the Best paper till date in theory…I scored 75/100 which is supposed to be too good for this subject…I still thank god for such a support to me.
