Of late, a lot of people has been making a fuss about what Aamir Khan has said about the medical profession on his show and how doctors are now blood-sucking creatures.


Whatever that needs to be said, has been said, both in favor and opposing the opinion that doctors are blood-suckers.

People will believe what they want to believe, and whether you do good or  evil, people will still talk regardless.


TV is there to entertain, and nothing is more entertaining than the distorted truth.

Of course there are bad doctors out there, and they stick out like a sore thumb. There is no excuse for unethical doctors and they don't last long as even their own colleagues will turn them in for the sake of their profession and their patients.

It's just unfortunate that these unethical doctors are the ones the public tend to remember and paints a bad picture of the medical fraternity.



Please do not generalize and please do not assume, as when you assume u make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'.

My belief is that action always speaks louder than words; keep working hard and continue doing the good that you do.

Why should it matter what a TV personality says about my profession? It sure doesn't matter to the patient clinging to his life after a road accident and it shouldn't matter to you as you try to save them.


Doctors can't choose their patients, but patients can choose their doctors, and I pray that you find the good ones and expose the bad ones. For all our sakes.


Aamir Khan was not the first, and won't be the last to criticize our profession.

So at the end of the day, does it really matter what he's said?


Exactly.


So doctors, back to work.





La sel de la vie; if my rusty French does not betray me translates into:

"The salt of life" - French Idiom


Its life's lil' quirks & oddities that when it first strikes, will daze, amaze or maybe confuse you. You whip out a camera, a point-and-shoot or a DSLR, doesn't matter. You capture the moment & you store it.

So when the mental copy of the event has been eroded by the sands of time, the photos you've taken will etch a smile on your face; reminding us of the random weirdness life has in store for us at every turn of the corner.



After all, we're all travelers in this life.

La sel de la vie;

It is what makes this life worth every sweat, tear and blood shed; it is also what makes every victory, triumph and successful endeavour tastes just as sweet. It is the spice of life.

As many of you've already known, I've been living in Manipal, India for the past 2 years chasing my MBBS. Such a wild country, and with it has given me many many memories.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

The following are just some random snippets of my life so far in India.



On the first day I was in this country,

I passed by Iron Man on his way to the pasar.


And every day,

I had to come home to this.

Nooh Sainorudin, my charming roommate of 3 years


When it was time when I couldn't put off studying any longer, I commit the hours & hit the books,

And came out looking like this.


I needed some fresh air, so I stepped out of my house,

And saw this.

It was a civic-awareness poster reminding the kids to stay in school.


I stepped in the local gift-shop to have a look at the trinkets for the family back home. The Uncle recommended me their biggest-seller,

'Deligent' Cattle & Lovely Boy.

Who would win in a fight with Batman you say? My money is on the Lovely Boy. Aauumm!


All this made me hungry.


So I ducked into one of the local eateries,


I didn't feel like having a 'chicken Sewerage pizza'



SandWITCHES? Nope, nenek kebayan berpasir won't hit the spot either.



Hmm, Indian Hot & Exotic Mexicans?

I summoned the waiter promptly and asked if these two new flavours charge by the hour or by session?

I'm not done yet, or it's better said that India is not yet done with me. I've still another 7+ months; and to Gandhi & the gang,

I say bring it on.
