It’s a usual Monday Morning and after a weekend full of rest and ample idle time, to my surprise I find my grandchildren all pepped up and enthusiastic about attending their online kindergarten classes. My grandson who is just 5 years old, screams “today I’ll go globe-trotting!” I look at him and wonder whether he even …
A year has gone by since the Symbiosis Medical College for Women was inaugurated. While for me as an administrator, a doctor and a facilitator it has been simply wonderful to see the first batch of women doctors being groomed into ethical doctors, the journey belongs to these young girls.

The year bygone, 2021 is one that has brought many realisations in its wake. Today incidentally is the last Monday of 2021 and I cannot help but reminisce about the days that have gone past. The biggest threat or perhaps a mishap that the entire planet witnessed was the Covid. While in 2020 we were hit …
