What do you do?
Currently, a final year medical student if to be spoken of academically, but other than that a 22-year-old (soon to be) wannabe adult who's knees down in exploring life and trying fullest to live it all. Because as Fyodor Dostoevsky said, "But how can you live, and not have a story to tell ?" I strongly live by that.
What’s the best part of your profession? What made you choose this profession?
For me it's been the sense of responsibility that gets inculcated in me, be it from bandaging someone or assisting in helping a new life take birth, handling emotions, discipline, showing care, and getting the minimal amount out of it at times in return too. To see the good in people, a hope for humanity to exist.
Do you like reading? What was the last thing you read?
I don't read much, though, I love to read excerpts from books and poetry. I have been reading the works of Haruki Murakami for the past few weeks.

Psychiatry I'd say and that too just out of passion. I like Philosophy and Art but again no favorites as such.
What is your least favouite subject(s)?
Oh yeah this I do well with, till now I'd say it has been biochemistry (PS: every year has one, to be honest)

Defense Services for sure
