What do you do?
I am an ophthalmologist, and in my free time, I enjoy creating funny content.
What’s the best part of your profession? What made you choose this profession?
The best part of being an ophthalmologist is the ease of diagnosis. With just my eyes, I can observe and come to a provisional diagnosis. I chose this profession because I have a passion for surgery but didn't want to handle life or death situations.
Do you like reading? What was the last thing you read?
Yes, I enjoy reading. Recently, I read my favorite book for the second time, "This is Going to Hurt" by Adam Kay. It's a book I highly recommend to all medical professionals.
What is your favorite dish?
I love spicy food, whether it's Indian, Chinese, or pizza.
How would your friends describe you?
I hope my friends think of me as a cool, chilled-out, and funny guy.
Who would you like to travel with?
Family
Mention your favorite subjects.
OBG (Obstetrics and Gynecology) is my favorite subject. I find it relatively easy to understand, as knowing a little anatomy helps everything fall into place.
What is your least favorite subject?
Pathology
What’s something you wish to change about the world?
I wish people cared about all animals the way they care about cats and dogs. Billions of animals are killed every year just to satisfy our taste buds for a few minutes a day.
If your journey were a movie, what would it be called?
I'm not a big movie fan, so I'm not sure what it would be called.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about writing, especially comedy.
Best/memorable moment?
The first few dates with my wife (who was my girlfriend at the time) are some of the most memorable moments for me.
What do you love to do in your leisure time?
In my leisure time, I enjoy writing jokes and creating comedy content.
What do you hate the most?
I strongly dislike cruelty to animals.
If given a choice, what alternate career would you have opted for?
I might have chosen a career in theatre.
What is your dream travel destination?
Bali is my dream travel destination.
Where would you like to work in the future?
I would like to work in a relaxed government hospital in Bangalore that would allow me to pursue my comedy alongside my profession.
Finally, a quote you relate to:
"Worry about the things you can change and not the things you can't."
