The Madras Medical College more than 170 years old churned out some of the best names in Indian Doctors .
This college inspired me to join medicine brcause no one misses it if living in Madras bang opposite the Central Railway station .
The Medical exhibition it held was attended by many and a wide eyed high school student me was so impressed that I decided I would study here .
Though I did my undergraduation in Kilpauk medical college an equally legendary institution in Madras
(ok Chennai ) did live my dream for my postgraduation in Radiotherapy in Bernard Institute of Radiology and Cancer in 1984 .
Finally I was in the hallow portals of the great college I dreamed of a decade back .
I walked and worked in its wards
I sat in its lecture classes and ate in its messes late at nights on call .
But my daughter lived my dream in selecting MMC for her MBBS and lived in its hostel for all the five years and more .
Some places are like that .
They direct your life and are in your mind forever .
