  •  Life is filled with complications and the choices amid the complications should be perfect or people are to pay some excessive price for the wrong preferences.
  •  After passing my higher secondary level, I got promoted to the university level and had to pick a suitable subject for.
  •   There was a good range of subjects and courses to be studied at the university level and I was told to accept the subjects related to the scientific studies as my background belongs to science.
  •    I took science as the major course in my secondary and higher secondary level. But I wanted to study the course of arts, particularly the courses like history, literature etc.
  • On the other side, my parents were on the view that I should get admitted into any medical college so that I could be a doctor and even they were on the view that they should bear all of my expenses for the medical study in a private medical college as they had borne all the expenses of my past studies.
  •   In fact, they wanted to see me as a doctor who will treat patients with care. But I wanted something different. I wanted to be a poet or something like that where I could use my intellect.
  •   The issue was too critical and it was impossible for me to go beyond the opinion of my parents. The crucial moment came when I started collecting forms from different universities to study literature and the subjects of Arts faculties.
  •  But my parents did not listen to me and they brought some forms of medical colleges located in different parts of India. They were on the view that I should appear the entry test for all of the medical colleges in India and they will do everything for me.
  •    If I fail to get admission into any public medical college, they will help me to get admitted at any of the private medical colleges. Thereby, I had to abide by their choice. After passing my higher secondary with distinction, I got admitted into a public medical college.
  •   The admission procedure was great. Initially, it was difficult for me to get prepared for the admission and when the preparation was done, I found it easier than it was supposed to be.
  •  Besides, my regular life, as it was before the admission, has been greatly changed and I started following a life filled with a daily routine.
  •    Though I had to follow the rules and regulations in my school and college days, none of them was as tougher as it was. Now I am to get up early in the morning to attend my classes.
  •   When I was in college, my classes held in the noon (the classes started from 12.00pm and continued till 5.00 pm) and I did not have any troubles with my sleep. I used to sleep at midnight and wake up at 10 or 10.30am. But now, everything has been changed.
  •    I have to do everything following the routines and there are fewer chances to break the rules. It is a bit difficult for me to adjust.
  •  From my early childhood, I used to compose poems and songs. I wanted to be a poet or a songwriter. But when my parents compelled me to be a doctor, all my dreams were shattered. My heart was filled with grief that all of my dreams were going to be destroyed.
  •    Moreover, it was difficult for me to pick the profession as I was a bit afraid of surgeries, blood and operations.
  •   It was truly difficult for me to move to a different track than I intended. I thought that I would study different sorts of literature, history, stories, novels, epics and poems but instead, I have to read the books over medicine and practice on dead bodies to sort out the internal organs of humans.
  •    Initially, it was difficult for me but now I am okay with all these. With the passing of time, I am becoming habituated with all the necessary experiments that a trainee doctor need to do.
