To Dr Gupta Sir , Re: Women power in Wardha

May 18, 2008

Respected Dr Gupta Sir,

I am really proud of this women power and also men who supported them.

During our annual functions at Wardha, we used to have debates. Once there was a

debate that " There is always a woman behind a man's success " .

We (and I think whole staff) enjoyed the debate. I don't remember who won, " for "

or " against " . Now my life experience has taught me, that we can not say that

woman is behind man's success or man is behind woman's success, but both have to

support each other and then life is successful.

There are certain limitations with ladies...when they want to do what they

really like.

I was highly impressed (as all MGIMSites) by basic teachings of our college

and Badi Bahanji. I got interested in Public Health, then called Social and

Preventive Medicine, when I was posted at PHC and subcenter during my

internship. But, I could not make a career in PH. The reason, I got married

early and doing post graduation in SPM was that I will be visiting/ staying in

rural areas. I could not leave my small children although I got admission in

AIIMS but did not join and did DGO.

Now my children are grown up. My son is working as Financial Analyst and

daughter is doing BSc Economics. I feel this time is mine. I did Diploma

Community Health and then joined MPH. Now I have completed all the courses,

practicum and am going tomorrow for capstone project.

I am proud to say that I am going to graduate in June 2008 with MPH degree at

the age of ...a little more than half century

(I am the one who came with Dr Jobanputra\s daughter and met you in Medicine

OPD, and you commented " I don't recognize because you are not like you used to

be " )

My salutes to all my teachers
