The Madras Medical College


 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 .
