VELLORE MEDICAL COLLEGE ANNUAL MAGAZINE - ‘09 ’10

 Editor’s Note...!
C reativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes and Art is knowing
which ones to keep. Every mind is a building filled with archaic
furniture, clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly
fill it.

Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope.

You look at a set of elements, the same one everyone sees, but then re-
assemble those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility.
Connecting the seemingly unconnected! And that is exactly what we
have done here. We have put every other piece of art, poem and
experiences into this “Radiance 09-10” and tailored it with a new glow.

Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of phoenix.
- Christina Baldwin

This perfectly describes our budding college. The year 2009-2010

was very remarkable as it made significant transitions in our college
history. Our first batch, Sizzling Samurais graduated to CRRIs,Our two
grand inter college cultural Revels’09 and Muthamil Muthiram’09
and Our very first inter college Physiology Quiz Genofet’10 held up our
GVMC’s banner high among the colleges of Tamilnadu. We hope this
Radiance will serve your nostalgia.

We tried to reproduce all the articles but to err is human. We hope

you enjoy this Magazine. Criticisms and suggestions are welcome.

 ANNUAL REPORT OF STUDENTS COUNCIL ‘09-’10

The Students Council ‘09’10 was inaugurated on June 19th. The Investiture
was headed by our then Dean Dr.C.Vamsadhara .

The release of College News Bulletin The Plexus made a good start for the
Enthusiastic bunch of the Council. The colourful and glittery inauguration of the
Music Club followed in September with bands of our College and Vellore Institute of
Technology.

The month of September was marked by the much awaited Regatta, our college
sports meet. It turned out to be more than fulfilling to our expectation, with its own
share of excitement. The event was a success. Medicos, we are, the need to make a
difference was pressing. This led to organising a Blood Donation Camp with
around 60 of our friends donating blood, creating awareness and setting example
for others to follow.

For those who thought the medical students had no fun side to them, the
cultural event Revels over 3 days was an Eye opener of sorts with around 35
colleges participating. This was the first event of its kind in our college and was a
grand success from day 1 of its inception and left people wanting for more in future.

Muthamil Muthiram, a tribute to our mother tongue was organised on

December with a host of celebrities attending the function, make it 3 days grand
gala.

At the end we bonded all our happy moments and innovation in this annual
magazine of ours...

- Signing off...

Going Up in Smoke....
““Want a smoke?”
asked mohan to
surya as
they sat in the
college cafeteria,
many years ago.
“No,” said surya, but watched facelifted as
mohan pulled out a pack of twenty from
his shirt pocket, lit a cigarette with a
flourish, and holding it expertly between
his fingers brought it to his mouth and
inhaled deeply. There was a deep
philosophical look on his face as his body
registered with delight the warmth effect
of tobacco smoke filling the lungs.
He looked at surya, a look of absolute
contentment, as he slowly exhaled rings
and circles from mouth, nose and ears.
Surya watched fascinated at this sheer
spectacle of manhood. Several girls were
glancing in his direction and mohan
though totally immersed in the own
dream world of smoke pleasure, seemed
to enjoy the appreciative looks.
“Hi” said surya, when he met mohan a
couple of years later. The pocket of
cigarette was still sitting pretty in his
pocket and he looked the very epitome of
good health. Mohan looked and beckoned
at surya to come alongside motioned him
to a bench and pulled out a handkerchief
(keith) which he cleared his throat.
he lit a cigarette and put his briefcase
down “cant talk much today” he muttered,
“I’ve got this throat infection” terrible
weather you know, voice is giving me a
bit of trouble.”
“Too much pollution” said surya,
as he watched him inhale the smoke.
“Yes” he said rodding at the cars and busses,
while surya looked pointedly at his
cigarette, “too much pollution”.
Then surya said “come, lets walk down the
road and have a cup of tea.”
“Walks” exclaimed mohan, looking at him
strangely, “who’s got the energy to walk
now a days, come on lets take a cab.
They chatted while having tea and surya
found that he had as a marketing
manager.
“But I’m changing my job soon. Cant take the
traveling anymore, “said mohan drawing
in the smoke in his same college style and
looking intently at surya. Office girls at the
next table still ogled the cowboy with a
cigarette, but mohan was too busy clearing
his threat and coughing to notice the
adhering glances.
Mohan soon lift, the new job and the next
claining bad health and a poor constitution
as an excuse. Surya got a call one day and
visited him at the government cancer
hospital, where he lay pathetically thin and
drained out.
Same ward boy had smuggled in a cigarette
for him, strictly against doctor’s orders.
The nurse rushed in, smelling deadly fumes
Mohan inhaled the smoke at looks at the,
wondering why she snatched the cigarette
from his weak, thin hand and threw it out
of the window.

A Peep into Medico's life
.. A peep into life of a medico…………
Before you decide to apply to medical
school I want you to sit down and think
about it twice… and ask yourself this
question: Can I handle it? No matter how
hard you try predicting what medical
school is like, you're never going to know
until you walk that path and see or feel
that for yourself. It's a lot of pressure
when you are thrown into a class full of
people who are equally smart as you or in
some instances even smarter than you
(sometimes dumb). After the first year
I realized that it takes so much effort just
to pass with decent scores leave alone
distinctions and honours.. I wasn't
enjoying the moment.. in the end I got
what I wanted, which was just a pass,
but I lost a part of me in return.
Learning how to manage your time is a skill
everybody is going to have to learn sooner
or later. Medical school is going to make
you do it if you haven't already done so.
This year I started to take it a little easier
on the medicine side of things. I try not to
stress myself out too much and just do as
much as I can without compromising my
own entertainment. It just feels good to
come back to hostel and not be immersed
in books for hours together. I just hang out
with friends on weekends…and don't
really study each and everyday…yeah it
sounds inappropriate for a medical
student to roam around but now that
I put it into print people should drop the
prejudices about medicos. Seriously, find
something outside of medicine to keep
yourself sane. just admiring the beauty
of the mountains around adukkamparai or
talking some nonsense.
I jus enjoy everything…..more than studies,
talking consumes much of my energy
and time…seriously I don't care about all
this these days… studying a
day or two before the internals and jus
manage to get pass marks… .
Now that you've had some time to think
about whether you can handle being a
medical student, I'm going to attempt to
tell you what's it's like to be a medical
student from a second year's point of view.
I have to warn you (and remind myself)
that it doesn't get easier from here on in.
This year we have op classes in the
morning and theory class in the
afternoon…pharm, micro, path, forensic…
actually u just hav to know anything under
the sun for the viva….it happens that
I know answers
for all the questions that my friends got…
poor me…written exams are the ones
which I love….u hav all the freedom and
liberty to write anything for everything…
practicals are another nightmares which
squeeze our adrenal glands so that
nothing remains..Even though
this profession demands so much from you…
there is a satisfaction which none other
profession can give you…I just have this in
my mind always…THIS TOO SHALL PASS…
am just enjoying every moment this year….
exams are scheduled during feb 2011…
I have nothing to worry till December….
As P B shelly said…
The trumpet of a
prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes,
can Spring be far
behind?

True Joy..
I'll be happy once I've done
this certain thing.
We all say this often not realizing
what it brings.
We look only to the future for our
happiness.
Letting Life slips through our fingers
in its fullness.
Will we really feel complete
when the task is done,
or look back and see how we missed
so much fun?
Self consumed so we can't see
anything else, hurting those we love
as well as ourselves.
So many things around us to be
grateful for, when seeking for an answer
willingly open the door.
So often, others see what's in front
of our face,
but we're too blind to look as we're
snared in the race.
What is this life supposed to be about?
Is it money, fortune, fame, or a big house?
When speaking to a man on his dying bed,
none of these answers are what he said.
Family, love, laughter are what we
should seek.
These are the precious things right
outside your door.
- M.Karthikeyan ‘05
To My Little Sister..
When you were born, i was less
willing to share The honourable dais of
my mother's lap with “you” But, when you
rosy-red fingers held of my hands,
Even my little heart was moved.
By then, you are my play-mate why my
soul-mate.
In-spite of it, had thousands of pillow
fights, Comical panipet wars, bed-time
battle-fields and so on.
In which we never let the other to lose.
We had spent a millions of unexpressed
moments But, here is a small opportunity
to let you know my love Yes , here is a
tight hug And a Lovable kiss to
my dear sister.....

A Dream For You ...
If I could dream
The dream I wanted too,
I would close my eyes,
And dream a dream for you.
I would give you all the world,
That you are deserving of,
And to you I would give
My everlasting love.
I would see to it,
That you were never sad.
And nothing in your life
Would ever happen bad.
I would wish for you,
All things would go your way,
And you would always be happy,
Each and every day.
In my dream
You would stay
Just as beautiful
As you are today.
Life for you would be as perfect
As the blueness of the sky,
And no one would ever hurt you,
Or ever make you cry.
I know it's just a dream,
But if dreams could come true,
I would close my eyes,
And dream a dream for you. .

Fairies ...
The moon ha
risen the sun
has gone,
The fairies
come out one
by one.
The stars light their way through the
weary night.
They must get prepared for their untimely
flight.
The winter has come much too soon.
They must flee this night, by the light
of the moon.
The days are cold, the nights just as bad.
The fairies have lost what they once had.
The warmth of the sun, the breeze
of the night,
Now they are desperate, fleeing by flight.
- M.Rameez Raja 09
Stroke....
Hippocrates, the father of
medicine, first recognized stroke
over 2,400 years. At this time
stroke was called apoplexy, which
“struck down by violence” in Greek.
This was due to the fact that a person
developed sudden paralysis & change in
well-being. Physicians had little
knowledge of the Anatomy & function
of the brain, the cause of stroke, or
how to treat it.

 Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s Address
We are privileged
to re-produce
this address from
Dr.A.P.JAbdul Kalam,
Former president of India.
The Radiance Team
hopes these excerpts, will enlighten us to
pursuit high social goals.
Role of healthcare professionals in
societal transformation.
Let my brain remove the pain
I am indeed delighted to participate in the
20th Annual Convocation of Tamilnadu
D r M G R M e d i c a l U n i v e r s i t y. M y
c o n g ra t u l a t i o n s t o t h e g ra d u a t i n g
students who will be taking up the
responsibility of delivering quality
healthcare to the society. I was going
through the mission of the university
which says that it strives “to create
personnel for health manpower who
will be endowed with a sense of dedication
and a spirit of enquiry and will contribute
substantially to the Alma Mater goals of
health for all by 2020 A.D”. Such focused
approach which envisages an objective
goal of universal healthcare is indeed a
hallmark of a great university led by
visionary leaders of the past and present.
When I am here with healthcare experts
and students, I would like to share my views
on t he top ic “ Ro l e o f hea l t hca re
professionals in societal transformation”.
Dear friends when I see you all, first of all
Iwould like to share one experience with you.
When I was teaching in Gatton college of
Business and economics of Lexington in USA,
one of my students asked me, Kalam, you
have done many tasks? Tell us what one task
that gave you the bliss? How to answer? It is
important for me to answer. Let me share
with all of you. When we launched first
indigenous satellite launch vehicle SLV3, it
gave me lot of happiness! When we launched
AGNI, it gave me different kind of happiness!
When me and our team had successfully
tested the nuclear weapon at the 52 degree
centigrade in Pokhran desert, it gave me
great joy! When our team prepared the
Vision 2020 document for transforming the
nation into a developed nation, it gave me a
greatest happiness. But what gave me a bliss!
That is the memorable event which I would
like to share with you now.
During my visit to one of the hospitals in
Hyderabad, I found many children were
struggling to walk with an artificial limb
weighing over 4 kgs. At the request of Prof.
Prasad of NIMS, Head of orthopedic
department at that time, I asked my AGNI
missile friends why we cannot use the
composite material used for AGNI heat
shield for fabricating FROs for polio
affected patients. They immediately said
it is possible. We worked on this project for
some time and came up with a FRO for the
child weighing around 400 gms in place of
4 kg, exactly 1/10th of the weight which the
children were carrying. The doctors helped
us to fit the new light weight FRO on the
children and the children started walking
and running around.
28
 Their parents were also present. Tears
rolled down on all of their faces through the
joy of seeing their children running with the
light calipers.
With the light weight device provided by
the hospital they could run, ride a bicycle
and do all sorts of things which they had
been denied for a long time. The removal
of the pain and the freedom attained by the
children gave me a state of bliss which
I never experienced during any other
achievement in my life. My greetings to all
the graduating students.
Dear friends, what will inspire you, since
you are all the graduating students,
particularly when you are entering into your
career, you will like to hear certain inspiring
lives in your healthcare domain. Let me first
discuss about three individual healthcare
professionals known to me, who through
their light of knowledge have been engaged
in transformational societal missions to
remove the pain and sufferings of humanity. I
am sure that the unique life and work of three
healthcare givers will be a beacon of
inspiration for the young graduates.
The first example of a noble healthcare
professional is healthcare giver who left his
foreign job and using the strength of
cooperative movement that led to the birth of
a low cost high quality rural hospital.
Healthcare as a social entrepreneurial
mission
Friends, in February 2010, I visited the
Warana valley of Kolhapur Maharashtra.
There I witnessed, how cooperative
movement by the local farmers and villagers
is bringing out a socio-economic
transformation of the people and the region.
The Warana PURA complex has many
initiatives for the income generation and
amenities for about 60,000 families in the
Warana area. One of the initiatives which I
visited was the Mahatma Gandhi Hospital at
New Pargaon at Warana.
The Mahatma Gandhi Hospital was
established by late Shri Tatyasaheb Kore and
his son Dr. Sudhakar Kore, who manages the
hospital now. Dr Sudhakar Kore is an MBBS
and MS in General Surgery. After his
education in 1970, Dr Sudhakar Kore worked
in many famous hospitals of Scotland, UK for
seven years. All this time, the healthcare in
his native village of Warana were lacking and
the local had to go to distant cities of Pune
and Mumbai for even small treatments, Dr.
Kore wanted to do service for his nation and
the people of Warana. Thus, in 1979, he chose
to return to Warana Valley, leaving his foreign
job, to serve local needy. He started his own
hospital in Sangli district along with his
family. With the help of the cooperative
movement, Mahatma Gandhi Charitable
Trust was established in Warana which led to
the birth of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital. This
not-for-profit hospital was established on
2nd October 1992. The Mahatma Gandhi
hospital is a 225 bedded hospital with 2
medical sub-centres of 25 beds each located
about 10 kilometers from the base hospital.
Today, this hospital has an area of
110,000 square feet and built over an area of
27 acres.
29
 It has four operations theatres for
providing modern surgery facility to the
population within Warana. The Mahatma
Gandhi Hospital and its extension healthcare
centre are offering various healthcare
fa c i l i t i e s l i ke m e d i c i n e , s u rg e r i e s ,
orthopedics, obstetrics, pediatrics,
ophthalmology, ENT, pathology and
radiology at affordable cost and even free to
the needy. Dr Sudhakar Kore is an example of
how educated and talented doctors with
spirit of social entrepreneurship and with
the help of a cooperative movement can
bring about a transformation in the
healthcare for people living in an area of poor
accessibility. The doctors and healthcare
professionals graduating today may like to
think on how they can apply their knowledge
in an entrepreneurial way for achieve a great
societal mission.
Now let me talk about a great healthcare
giver whose mission has been to bring the
light of vision to the lives of millions.
Lead Kindly Light
I have known Late Dr. Venkatasamy for
over three decades. He is known for his silent
contribution and bringing light to thousands
of people. All his life, he has worked for total
elimination of avoidable blindness. He has
brought with the Aravind Eye Hospital, the
best of technology and management. He has
established a network of Aravind Hospitals
and also the mobile clinics. He has created
many leaders in the field, who are spread in
various parts of the world. Whichever eye
hospital I visited in India, I met a number of
people, who had been trained by Dr.
Venkatasamy’s institutions.
It was amazing to see how even in his
eighties he was radiating enthusiasm and
perseverance for realizing his vision.
Dr Venkatswamy championed the
community ophthalmology service in
Tamilnadu and surrounding region. This was
at a time when there was tremendous
amount of cataract back log, and there were
not enough specialists. Using a systematic
approach to mass screening and surgery he
infused both science and discipline to mass
surgical eye camp. The mass movement for
treatment of cataract shifted from
improvised operating rooms to hospital
operating room facilities. Aravind has
s u c c e s s f u l ly i n t e g ra t e d t h e i r c o re
competence of community ophthalmology
with modern medical treatment and
research.
Dr Venkataswamy implemented his
principle that the Aravind hospital must
provide services to reach rich and poor alike,
yet the eye care facility must be financially
self-supporting. The entire Aravind Eye care
system is conducting on an average 800 eye
surgeries per day and annually treat over 2.5
million patients. They are providing for every
30 paid patients, free treatment for 70
patients who cannot afford. This principle is
achieved through high quality, large volume
care and a well-organized system.
Aravind has grown into five hospitals
with nearly 3,600 beds and 26 vision centres
spread in different parts of Tamilnadu
particularly in rural areas. The important
aspect of Aravind system is that the
productivity per ophthalmic specialists is 5
times that of national productivity.
30
 Arvind has contributed in a big way to
reduce the avoidable blindness in the
country.
The life of Dr. Venkataswamy gives the
message to all of us and particularly the
aspiring medical graduates, how
commitment to a vision can make missions
happen.
Now let me talk about a healthcare
professional who had been instrumental in
bringing healthcare to unreached people in a
remote region in southern India.
Reaching the Unreached
In the present circumstances and
environment, it was inspiring to see, how a
MBBS doctor has put all his dreams in
mainstreaming the tribal citizens of
Karnataka for the last 25 years through
Vivekananda Girijana Kalyan Kendra
(VGKK), at BR Hills. When I visited BR Hills in
1998 and subsequently in 2006, I could see
substantial new developments in that area. I
could see that “New Tribal Hospital”, Roads
and education environment and above all the
earning capacity of the tribal citizens have
been increased with the technology resource
centre as a base. Dr. H. Sudarshan, is the
inspiring architect of this societal
transformation.
Dr. Sudarshan’s father died in a village
without any medical help when he was just
twelve. This event followed by his reading
the biography of Dr. Albert Schweitzer who
worked in Africa motivated Dr. Sudarshan to
take up medical profession and work in tribal
areas in India.
Dr. Sudarshan derives his philosophy of
work from Swami Vivekananda’s teachings
which states “they alone live who live for
others, rest are more dead than alive”.
Dr. Sudarshan starts his day at 4.30 am in
the morning with Yoga, meditation and
prayer with tribal school children. From 9 am
to 1pm, he goes around the ward and sees the
patients individually. He has lunch with the
tribal students between 1 and 2 pm in the
afternoon. Later till 7 pm, he is busy in the
clinic where he conducts surgeries and visits
tribal complex. Later, he has dinner with the
tribal students. He devotes one hour for
study between 9 and 10 pm, so that he gets
updated information about medical systems.
He spends large part of his time in Clinical
Diagnosis, Laboratory diagnosis and
treatment, in addition to Supervising,
Monitoring, teaching and carrying out
research along with his team members.
Dr. Sudarshan pays particular attention
to the special problems of the tribals such as
Snake bite cases, Mauling by bears,
Pneumonia, Tuberculosis and Acute
Respiratory Infections. The Soliga tribal
people suffer from Sickle Cell Anemia and Dr.
Sudarshan has developed a low cost
electrophoresis machine for diagnosing the
disease. He has also built the healthcare
system on the strengths of traditional
knowledge available in the tribal areas. The
secret of his service is that he is empowering
the people to manage their own health
through the provision of knowledge. He has
trained tribal girls as Auxiliary Nurse &
Midwife (ANM) and posted them in the Tribal
Sub-centers.
31
 These nurses undergo 18 months course.
Thus the rural area is self-sufficient in
nursing resource. He has also developed low
cost management system for Epilepsy in the
Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC). He has
introduced Dental Healthcare and Cancer
Control in the PHC. He is providing quality
healthcare to the people by the introduction
of low premium health insurance for all the
people living below poverty line. He suggests
that medical colleges should teach their
students to develop sensitivity to the
suffering of the patients. They also need to
modify the treatment approach for the poor
who cannot afford costly treatment. The aim
of the medical education should be to
facilitate application of medical technology
for providing best care to the poor at the
most affordable cost. Dr. Sudarshan says ‘the
greatest joy, he experienced was when he
resuscitated a patient whose lungs and heart
had stopped and when he sees the smile on
the face of poor patients who come to the
hospital with blindness (cataract in both
eyes) and walk out with full vision after the
cataract surgery. Country needs thousands of
Dr. Sudarshans for providing healthcare to
our rural citizens.
Dear friends, what did you learn from
these three inspiring lives? One Doctor who
left his money spinning foreign job came
down to village and created an innovative
cooperative movement leading to the birth of
a low cost high quality rural hospital, another
Doctor who grown up in a rural environment
with a value system inspired by his father as a
role model gave the world an innovative eye
care system to remove the avoidable
blindness; the other doctor who has taken up
the tribal healthcare system as his mission
and created an innovative healthcare model
in the rural setup. The message is if you have
a great vision, that dream will not allow you
to sleep but will keep you awake till you
achieve that mission. I hope every one of you
will set a great vision in your career.
Let me give some of the innovation in
healthcare research leading to solutions for
the diseases which were almost incurable so
far.
Innovative Cancer Vaccine Development
In April 2010, while in Louisville in USA, I
met researchers from Brown Cancer
Research Center who are developing a
vaccine for cervical cancer which affects
many women in the nation. A World Health
Organisation study reveals that every year
132,000 women are diagnosed with this
particular kind of cancer and nearly 75,000
die from the disease. The proposed vaccine
would be developed on protein drawn out of
tobacco leaves and would cost nearly $2 for
every individual. I am sure, the healthcare
community assembled here would like to
take up development in such areas of societal
importance.
Since all of you are now going to engage in
your mission to be the future leaders of
healthcare, let me now discuss with you a
unique hospital which I saw in Lexington
USA.
University of Kentucky Healthcare Centre
Friends, in the last month, I was in USA for
some teaching assignments at various
universities and other programmes.
32
 On 15 of April 2010, I visited the
University of Kentucky Healthcare centre
which is a one billion dollar hospital with the
best of healthcare of all kinds for the people
of the state of Kentucky.
Dr. Michael Karf, the chief designer of the
whole hospital, showed me around the under
construction building. Dr. Karf introduced
the hospital to me as “a visionary healthcare
center of the 21st century”. I observed, how
the grand hospital was more than a symbol of
the best medicare technology, it carried a
message of compassion for the patients of all
ages and conveyed hope to the ailing heart
and brought smile to the sad faces. The
hospital, of course had the best medical
equipments, but it was also aesthetically
designed with large windows, beautiful
atrium decorated with beautiful paintings
and games for children. The patient when he
or she enters the hospital, gets a message of
confidence “I will be healed”. At the same
time, while the hospital was state of art, it still
provided for further space for later
technological advancement by having high
ceilings and wide doors. Why I am saying
this, is because some innovative doctors will
come out of this gathering and will be
pioneering unique healthcare centers which
bring together medicine and compassion.
Six virtues of a healthcare giver
When I am with the healthcare
community, I would like to share an
experience with Choakyi Nyima Rinpoche,
the Chief Monk in Kathmandu and a medical
researcher. After nearly a kilometer of walk, I
reached the white Kumbha where the chief
Monk and his disciples were waiting to
receive me.
After reception the Chief Monk said, let us
go to our study room and I followed him. He
climbed the first floor, the second floor, the
third floor, the four floor and the fifth floor,
just like a young boy. Probably the life style
has a positive impact on the mind and body.
All along I was following and following. When
I reached his chamber, I saw a laboratory and
a spiritual environment over looking the
Himalayas. What surprised me was, his
research students come from different part
of the country. Particularly he introduced me
to his co-author David R Shlim, MD who is
working on a research area, Medicine and
Compassion. The Chief Monk Choakyi Nyima
Rinpoche and myself exchanged few books.
The Monk has written with Dr. David R. Shlim
a book titled “Medicine and Compassion”. I
liked this book and read it during my journey
from Kathmandu to Delhi. This book gives six
important virtues which a medical
practitioner has to possess towards their
patients.
First virtue is generosity; the second
virtue is pure ethics; third is tolerance, fourth
is perseverance, fifth is cultivating pure
concentration and the sixth virtue is to be
intelligent. These virtues will empower the
care givers with a humane heart. I am sure;
all the young students graduating today from
Tamilnadu Dr MGR Medical University will
inculcate these values.
Dear friends, Today before you go to bed,
take a paper and write this question, “What I
will be remembered for?”. Will I be
remembered as one of the great doctors of
the nation in a particular field, or will I
remembered as a pioneer in creating unique
healthcare center bring brings a confluence
of compassion and medicine, or will I be
33
remembered as a pioneering life scientist for
discovering vaccines against HIV, malaria or
cancer, or will I be remembered as a great
doctor who went to the villages and changed
the healthcare system for a million people. If
you are able to write an answer for this
question in a page, who knows that page may
be one of the pages the posterity will ever
keep referring in the years to come.
Faith...
Its the company, when you are alone,
Its the possession, when everything is gone.
Its the courage in the difficulty,
Its the confession of the guilty.
Its the consolation to the loser,
Its the appreciation to the winner.

Its the right when everyting is wrong,

Dear young doctor friends, graduating
today is a beautiful event of the journey of
your life. The real destination of you life, will
transpire, when you ask a question what I
will be remembered for?.
Once again congratulate the Graduating
Students. My best wishes to all of you for
delivering the best of healthcare to everyone
through knowledge, hard work and integrity.
May God Bless you.
Its the fight when nothing on song.
Its the argument when you are correct,
Its the apology when you distract.
Its the answer to all ifs and buts,
Its the door that never shuts.
Its the laughter when you are sad,
Its the life when you are dead.
Its the healing power of the nature,
Its the magic that improves your feature.

Painful Ajay....
ILAYA THALAVALI Ajay doesn't daydream.
He is too busy giving other people
nightmares.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list
of creatures Ajay allowed to live.
Ajay will not have a heart attack. His heart
is not foolish enough to attack him.
TNT was originally developed by Ajay to
cure indigestion.
The chief expert of Ajay is pain. Count from
1 to 5. That is the time taken by Ajay to
kill you...............58 times.
Ajay doesn't wear a watch. He decides
what time it is. Faster than a speeding bullet,
more powerful than a tanker, able to leap
tall buildings in a single bound.........Oh yeah!
These are some of Ajay's warmup exercises.
Only Ajay can divide by zero. With the rising
cost of gasoline, Ajay is beginning to worry
about his drinking habits, Ajay once ate an
entire bottle of sleeping pills. They made
him blink.
If you were somehow able to land a punch
on Ajay, your entire arm would shatter upon
impact. This is only in theory. Since come on,
who in the right mind would try it.
Ajay once kicked a horse in the chin.
Its descendents are known today as Giraffes.
Ajay can set ants on fire with a magnifying
glass,................ at night.
Remember the Soviet Union? They decided
to quit often watching 'aruvi' in illaignar TV.
When Ajay goes to donate blood,
he declines the syringe. Instead he asks
for a hand-gun and a bucket.
Industrial growth is not the cause for
deforestation. Ajay actually needs
tooth-picks.
Ajay is the reason why Osama is hiding.
Ajay had to stop washing his clothes in the
ocean, as the tsunamis were killing people.
Ajay actually built the soccer city stadium
in Johnnesburg in just 2 days.

Syphilis....
Debate about the origin of
syphilis has continued for nearly
500 yrs, even since early 16th
century Europeans blamed each
other, referring it variously as the
venetian, Naples, of French disease. One
hypothesis assumes a new world origin,
and holds that sailors who accompanied
Columbus & other explorers brought the
disease back to Europe. Another
Explanation is that syphilis was always
present in the old world was not
identified as a separate disease from
leprosy by about A.D 1500. A 3rd
possibility is that syphilis developed in
both hemispheres from the related
diseases bejel & yaws. New studies by
paleopathologists bruce & Rothchild
favour a new world origin.

Thermometer....
The first thermometers were
called thermoscopes & while
several inventors invented a
version of the thermoscope at the
same time, Italian inventor santorio.
Santorio was the Ist inventor to put a
numerical scale on the instrument.
Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary
water thermometer. Ultimately the
mercury thermometer was invented by
Gabriel Farenheit.
Measles....
The earliest mention of
measles may be the plague of
Athens of 430BC described by
Thucydides. By 14th century most of
the people in Europe & Asia were
immune to it. The worst measles plague
was when European traders & Explorers
gave measles to the people of North &
S.America in the 1500 AD. Because this
was a disease which nobody in America
had ever had resistance, it ended up by
killing 9 out of every 10 people there.

Moving me to search me in my deep.
Urging me to see, forcing me to reflect

Quick Addition....
Anybody can learn to count fast if he
knows the secret of following trick.
Ask your friend to write any five-figure
number on the black board,
then you write your five-figure number
under it. You choose your figures
so that each one with figure
above it will make nine.
For examples his number : 45623
your number : 54376
tell ur friend to put a third five-figure
number under your number. Then you
write a forth number in the same way
after he has written the fifth number,
you draw a line under it & quickly
write the sum. May even write it from
left to right. How do you do it ? you
subtract two from the fifth number &
put two in front of your answer.
For example if 5th number is 48765
the sum will be 248763

Mental Disorders....
Mental disorders were
treated mainly under traditional
Chinese medicine by herbs,
acupuncture or “emotional therapy”.
The inner canon of the yellow emperor
described symptoms, mechanisms &
therapies for mental illness,
emphasizing connections b/w bodily
organs & emotions. Conditions were
thought to comprise 5 stages of
elements & imbalance b/w Yin & Yang.
It seems Pythagoras also heard voices a
kind of hallucinations. Playwrights
such as Homes & Euripides described
madmen driven insane by the gods,
imbalanced circumstances. But Aristotle
abandoned the divinely caused mental
illness theory & proposed instead that
all mental illness was caused by physical
problems.

A Day in the Life of

(revise, you biology guys!)....
Hello humans! I am your old "friend" - the
world's toughest creature - The cockroach. I
know you all are disgusted on hearing my
name but guys I have lived for many more
years than you. Well you see it's not easy to
live with so many odds against you.
My day begins with sunrise- COZ that's the
time you invade my territory to discard your
(I hope you understand) I, along with my
friends have to run away to seek shelter. But
wherever I go humans are after my blood
Soon I feel hungry, so I stop at any nearby
anthill to have a few ants for breakfast.
10 AM - Office time-Office? - It's in a crack
in the nearby kitchen door. Office means
work and work means meetings.
Agenda of meetings - How to fight crimes
against cockroachanity? Some fried flies
along with chilled ant juice makes a perfect
setting for great cockroaches to sit and think.
The meeting is dismissed with the decision to
set up a committee (Same as human
meetings is isn't it?) 5 PM-Evening-time, time
to enjoy, time to go out on a date (So you guys
thought only you could have fun!). Folks
we're very lucky, God made us small but gave
us 13 hearts .
Lover's paradise - a human shoe. What a
place man! No one to disturb you - Oh! I am
sorry, you people cannot give some freedom
to two lovely souls. Well ! the date ends with
dinner of shoe soles and kitchen water on the
rocks.
Night soon sets in and like all tired souls I
go back to my 'home sweat home' the same
old crack in the wall - the place where I have
lived for years and seen the rise and fall of
human civilization.

of the American visionary Art
museum includes a life-size
applewood sculpture of a human with
a sunken chest depicting TB which is the
only known work by a patient in an
English asylum who died of TB in the
1950s. TB also finds a mention in the

First Lesson...
I am going to be a doctor. I am a med
student. 1st August was my first day in
medical college. I walked to college and on
the way passed one of those huge metal
garbage trolleys (sprinkled here and there in
this city by the Municipal Corporation ) filled
to the brim with just that - garbage from the
colony nearby. I did not particularly want to
study medicine - to be honest I didn't want to
be a doctor at all. You see I don't like doctors -
at least I do not like most of the ones I have
met. I just wanted to prove to myself and
others that I am not a total jackass- that I can
clear competitions, and work hard etc.- and
anyway I have to work - get a job don't I?
In college we are welcomed and we are
ragged. In one of the introductory lectures
one doctor tells us that the Government
spends 10 lakhs on each one of us before we
are professionally qualified and hence we
have a certain responsibility, a particular
duty to serve the country the best we can.
Impressive isn't it - both the amount and the
lecture. But big deal ! And I don't really take
all that in seriously. But I do have dreams-of
being a terrific doctor -earning money.
Next day en route to college I see a man
eating rice, taken from the garbage trolleys.
The street is his plate. He is emaciated - I can
see the bones under the dark skin. And I think
- God why bring a human being to such
depths of degradation where he forages for
food like a street dog.
That day we go to the dissection hall - the
place where we shall learn the anatomy of
human beings. The cadavers are lying on the
table. `Cadavers' makes it sound so sage and
object like, whereas it is actually so gruesome
- these are naked embalmed bodies of people
who are dead now - who once lived and
walked among us but today lie on the
dissection table because they were
unclaimed on death. Some people joke about
it , but somehow I don't feel like laughing. I
am not fainting either, just trying to be
indifferent. On the way back I notice the man
again. He is sleeping. I notice sores on his
body and I wonder if one day he will be a
cadaver. You will say I am quite cruel and
brutal, thinking about a living person like
that, but perhaps med. college is getting into
me.
I also see a group of three-four people
huddled close together. One of them has a
chit of paper on the palm of his hand and he
brings it close to the nose of another who
with a small tube like thing sniffs it. I wonder
if the sleeping man can be helped in any way?
If some of his dirty, starved bedraggled
companions, who were taking drugs, will
ever be able to live the life of a decent human
being like you and I, with clothes on our back
and food in our stomach and a place for
shelter? And so I think of some of the
responsibilities that I have.

A New Concept,A New Test and A New Drug for Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes is one disease, which is ancient yet not understood completely. Since
300B.C there is some research going on in this field and always there is a new
knowledge unrevealed. The latest in the field….

A New Concept – Metabolic Memory

This concept was confirmed by a study called United Kingdom Prospective Diabetic
Study which clearly expressed the intensive control of blood sugar and blood pressure in
Type 2 Diabetes reduced the development of micro and macro vascular complications.
Ten years of study and follow up revels that initial and intensive control will benefit lesser
incidence of complications in-spite of loosing control after the initial good control.

So, in both Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes, the early glycemic environment is remembered
in the target organs, ie Eyes, Kidney, Heart and Extremities.

Hyperglycemia by producing oxidative stress and advanced Glycation end products

alters mitochondrial function.

Mitochondria plays important role in propagating metabolic memory.

A New Test

Dietary polyol 1,5 anhydro glucitol(1,5 AG)has been proposed as a marker for post
prandial hyperglycemia. Normal level of 1,5 AG is 20-24 mcg/ml. It is filtered in the
kidneys and completely reabsorbed.

In hyperglycemia, there is low serum 1,5 AG due to competitive inhibition of renal

tubular re-absorption by glucose.

A New Drug

Sodium glucose co-transporters are large family of membrane proteins involved in

the transport of glucose, amino acids, vitamins across the brush border membrane of the
intestinal epithelium and the proximal renal tubule.

SGLUT 2 Inhibitors DAPAGLIFLOZIN&REMOGLIFLOZIN are under trail to inhibit

glucose and sodium absorption from the kidney. The common adverse effects observed is
urinary tract infection(5-11%) probably because of glycosuria, in-spite of lowering blood
glucose.

 THE STORY OF
THE RADIANCE 09-10

We initiated the works of making our Annual Magazine, in the beginning of

march, well after our exams (they too are of some importance, in our busy college
life!!!). Having the faintest idea of what are sponsors and how do we approach them, a
month passed away with just pennies jingling in our collection (kai sellavuke
pathala!)
In the beginning of April, some doctors and health related professionals around
Vellore gave hope to proceed with steadiness. ManiKantan.A.R, Vinoth Kumar,
Rubesh Kumar, Shripathi Tripati & Nikhil Jain’07 deserve a mention in this early
phase. We roamed so much that sentimentally certain seats in the town buses in the
town buses could predict the outcome of sponsor, we met soon after. My To-do-notes
in mobile never scaled down and soon the weary days followed and swallowed up the
fun we had.
During the weary days, we turned to the editorial side. The article bank was
pitifully empty during the first few weeks and to the happiness of the editorial board,
it gradually overflowed. Yet, we sincerely apologize that we might have missed certain
articles in the due course. Sathya, Gowrilakshmi ’08, Sona Priyadarshini ‘07 and
G.Boomika, Sandhya, Nivetha.S, Bhuvaneshwari ’09 typed and arranged the
contents.
Back to sponsors...May holidays proved nothing worth in Chennai (Of-course, a
thorough Knowledge of Chennai in and around). We had actually no hope , when we
meet a sponsor, which unexpectedly turned out to be our major sponsor. And there
was another instance, a much awaited well wisher de-routed to a half pg Ad. Its
Kavitha, Sowmiya, ShaliniPriya’08 to mention here. A major contribution in
collection of sponsors in Vellore & Chennai was by KarthikSaravanan, Srinivasan &
Thirumaran ’08.
When a new touch was needed deseparately, Martina Shalini & Nithiya’06 came
up with innovation. Gayathri, Arshiya and Krithika’06 did timely and sensible help.
Vandhana and Nithya’07 contributed tit bits on evolution of medicine and diseases.
Dinesh, Mohanakrishnan, Satish, Venkatesh, VinoBarathi, and Prasad’06
did support THE RADIANCE.
Finally I’m indebted to my Parents for supporting me and my room-mates(Sun
and Ratts) for bearing with me...

 REVELS 09-10

The dream of GVMC came true on October7 2009, the first

intercollege cultural fiesta REVELS 2009 kicked off. Lots of effort and
hardwork were put in by the staff and students to make this dream to
become a reality.

I take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who had been part
of this fest.

First of all I thank the then Dean Dr.Vamsadhara, the then Vice
Principal Dr.Manjula, the Student Council Staff Advisor Dr.S.Saravanan
and Fine Arts Committee Staff Advisor Dr.R.Muthulakshmi.

I thank the organising committee members for making this function a

grand success.

I am very greatful to the sponsors who supported the maiden effort of

the students of GVMC.

I thank each and everyone who worked in this function.

I wish REVELS to be a successful function in the forthcoming years.

Signing off.

The Answer To Our Life
Remember those days
when we were in tiny
little uniforms??!
All we had to worry
about as how to make
each passing moment
more enjoyable –
inventing silly games,
facing petty fights
with friends but when the night comes
and you look back, it would have been one
exciting day. Finding joy in the most meagre
things - That was school! And in those days,
each one of us would have faced that single
question “what would you like to be in the
future?” and i m sure like me most of you
would’ve replied the same. With eyes full
of pride, “i wanna be a doctor and serve my
country!”
But this column is for those who look back and
wish that they could’ve chosen a different answer really found the answer.
right now. There are several questions that come
up in your mind when you are made to face
desperation. Not all can manage to find the
right answers. But one thing which answers
everything right is TIME. Time changes
everything – your thoughts, your lifestyle, your was right. They helped me. I passed my
likings and sometimes with it, your ambition.
Likewise i chose to change my ambition of
becoming a doctor to an engineer, because I
thought that way life would be more simple not
having to choose between family and patients
all the time.
But you know how God works??!
It’s crazy, how sometimes, gifts can become a
burden. This ‘gift-wrapped’ burden for me
was that i could CHOOSE to be an engineer as
‘I’ wanted or a doctor as ‘my father’ wanted.
My dad being a doctor was proud of the
thought that his child could become one of
his kind too. That was the first time in my
17yrs that i saw a magical glow full of pride
in his face - something which no amount of
money or even family time together was ever
able to conjure. And i couldn’t bring myself
to put off that glow.
So there i was, sitting in a medical college.
It took me a few months to realise that I was
not liking it and even worse, not even trying
to like it. That had me held down as a very
average student here. I don’t think any of us
here is used to being at the bottom of the
table when it comes to performances.
That had me going - A burning desire to get
through in the most deserving way. And the
key to it is to ‘work hard’. It is never too late,
u know. Still something was missing and
each time I just managed to only scrape
through. So Hard work alone was not enough.
I kept thinking what went wrong but never
And just when things couldn’t get any worse,
I was facing everyone of us’s nightmare -
THE FINAL YEAR!!! To get past it, I knew
all I had was God and my hard work. And I
final year in college. But there was a small
part of me saying that this was just another
scrape through too. All the same I was happy
that I passed. Just then I saw dad and told him
that I passed. It was then that I found all the
answers. Words are not enough to express
what I saw.
Those two words had him jumping
sky high. And there it was again - the now
familiar magical glow on his face. All I could
do was stare at him dumbstruck. I should’ve
given him better.

Just then I realised that all along I had been Jumbled Medical Words
doing things with a faint thought that it was
just for my dad’s sake in my mind. What 1. Apsmamom
was missing was the love for the subject-
something which my dad had and I didn’t. 2. Inolvecl

Hurt....
My love for you was plain to see
It was written all over me
A love so strong
Could not be wrong
It should last an eternity
Now it's just a memory
I've asked you why a thousand times
But lies filled your every line
My heart was filled with so much love
I tried to bring you back to me
Good-bye was all you said to me
Of life's woes that is the one
That tore my heart and drained my soul
When the one you love will not stay
All you'll do is cry each day
The joys of life that move your heart
Are gone right at the start
The pain continues to this day
When will it go away?
Words were spoken to touch your heart
But boots and vacations closed that part
Lies and deceit right from the start
Cruelty came from your heart
Love like mine you will not find
It's gotten stronger over time
You know you're wrong in what you do
Does life have any meaning to you?
Hurt is what you gave to me
For you we'll have to wait and see
For those that read this, understand that
I lost the only woman that I ever loved.
If you have someone that you love and
things go on the bad side, think of why
that person is there. Appreciate them and
show them that you love them.

Victoriana
(Hemophilia)
The Human mind still attempts
to define and encompass this
mysterious yet fascinating
phenomenon. The History can be
traced back to 2nd century AD, where
Jews described it, after many people
bleed to death.
ROYAL HEMOPHILIA: we cannot leave
Victoriana altogether without
mentioning Queen Victoria herself and
noblest haemophiliacs of them all.
Two of her daughters were carriers
transmitting the disorder generation
after generation.

STEM CELLS Dr.R.VANAJA, M.D
Associate Professor,
Dept. of Microbiology.
Definition:

An undifferentiated cell found in a differentiated tissue that can renew itself and differentiate to
become specialized cell of the tissue from which it is originated.

Types:
By source:
(A) Embryonic stem cells ( these are derived from 5 day old embryo.
(B) Fetal stem cells (derived from fetal tissue 8 - 24 weeks of gestation)
(C) Adult stem cells

Stromal cells- these are non blood cells derived from blood organs such as bone marrow or fetal
liver capable of supporting growth of blood cells in vitro.

• Bone marrow stromal cells - A mixed population of stem cells found in bone marrow that does
not give rise to blood cells but instead generates bone.
• Umbilical cord blood stem cells - stem cells collected from the umbilical cord at birth that can
produce all of the blood cells in the body.
• Neural stem cell - A stem cell found in adult neural tissue that can give rise to neurons and glial
(supporting) cells.
• Hematopoietic stem cell - A stem cell that gives rise to all red and white blood cells and platelets.
Mesenchymal stem cells - Cells from the immature embryonic connective tissue. These can give
rise to cartilage.

By multiplicity:

• Totipotential
• Pluripotential
• Multipotential
• Committed

History:
• Early 1980’s: Preclinical work to establish CB as a source of hematopoietic stem cells
• 1988: 1st successful matched sib CBT for Fanconi Anemia
• 1992: Establishment of allogeneic CB banks
• 1993: 1st successful URD CBT reported
• 1996: 1st successful CBT reported in adult
• 1993: >6000 CBT’s performed, mostly URD and mostly in children
First matched sib CBT
Till date - 8000 transplants have been done worldwide

blood aspirated from placental veins at base of cord.
• Contact between maternal and placental blood avoided

That tore my heart and drained my soul
Factors affecting cord blood collection

DISEASES over time BEING TREATED
CURRENTLY

You know you're wrong in what you do

• Malignancies
Does life have any meaning to you?
-- Leukemias/lymphoma
-- Myelodysplastic Syndrome
54
 -- Neuroblastoma
-- Hodgkins/Non-Hodgkins
-- Multiple Myeloma
• Immunodeficiencies
-- SCIDS, other T-Cell Def.
-- Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome
• Myeloproliferative Disorders
-- Polycythemia Vera
-- Essential Thrombocythemia

• Blood disorders
-- Sickle Cell Disease
-- Aplastic Anemia
-- Fanconi Anemia
-- Thalassemia
-- Blackfan-Diamond
• Inborn Errors of Metabolism
-- Gaucher/ Hunter
-- Hurler/ Lesch-Nyhan
• Phagocytic Disorders

Advantages of Cord Blood Stem Cells

• Naïve Cells – Collected on day 1

• Not exposed to Day to day chemical, Pollutants and environmental Factors
• Closed system of collection
• Does not involve the Mother or the Baby
• Low incidence of GvHD
• Reduced severity of GvHD
• Easy access to donated samples
• Higher proliferative capacity
• Successful transplants - Even with 2/6 HLA compatibility
• Hassle free collection & Transplantation process
• Minor HLA issue is negligible with Family banking

Disadvantages

• Risk of transmitting undiagnosed genetic diseases

• HSC numbers vary greatly with no chance for recollection
• Insufficient HSC for large patients
• Significant risk of non-engraftment/ delay in hematopoietic engraftment
• Risk of maternal blood contamination

54
FUTURE DIRECTIONS

• Expanding the donor pool

• Sequential cord blood transplantation
• Combination cord blood and haploidentical bone marrow transplants
• Ex-vivo cord blood expansion
• Gene therapy of CB progenitor cells
• Non-hematopoietic applications
• Combined cord blood + haploidentical BMT
• Promising early results using single CBU and haploidentical family member BM
• Early neutrophil engraftment
• Acceptable rates of acute GVHD
• Survivors demonstrate complete cord blood chimerism

CONCLUSION:

Stem cells may someday become standard treatment for:

• Heart disease/stroke
• Spinal cord injuries
• Diabetes
• Nerve and tissue regeneration
• Muscular dystrophy
• Alzheimer’s disease

 POLL COMPILATION

Hey People ! We’re back again, continuing our Sacred Quest to provide a platform
for the views of “GVMC”ians. Here is the Compilation of this year’s poll with the most
interesting ( read most crazy) responses...

1.What is the 1st action you would take if u r made the Dean of this college?
a. Announce there will be no more classes - 20% (says Padips population is still
high)
b. Change op timing to 10.00 am-53%
c. Build a discotheque inside the Campus .

Our favourites -I’ll abolish all classes and give colourful coats to students instead of white
coat (jingchan, jingchan pacha colour jingchan, manja colour jingchan)
- Allow students to wear jeans
- Demolish this college (you should’ve opted engineering)
- Change OPD timing to 6.00 am (if u want to know who suggested that, please
contact us)

2. How many times have you been humiliated in op for not answering?
a. Many times. The question should be how many times I have answered, that
would be better – 62% ( not surprising)
b. Never. i know all the answers - only one person ( again not surprising)
c. Everyday.-8%
d. Scolding is only when u attend…this question is not for me!!!!20%

3. Do you think copying is wrong?

a. No. I copy in all tests, even the theory class notes.
b. Yes .Garudapuranam says those who copy will be punished with Copypagam. -
0% ( Ovation!!!thats our Spirit!)

Other Responses
Kalavum katru mara - so we should know to do everything??? ( study pana
vendiyadha list potungapa )
United we pass. Divided we fail
Copying increases our memory power (says who?)
God’s gift ( Thank you God , for such a wonderful imagination)

64
 [We seem to have touched a sensitive spot here. Most of the replies were brimming
with indignation. Someone wrote with righteous anger “ Copying is student right. This
question is an insult to the student society”. We’ve realised our mistake and apologize to
our readers.]

4. The greatest mistake that u have committed till now?

a. Loved a boy or girl - 4%( 0f course 96% of us abide by Love Is Blind!!!)
b. Selection of my professional course - 60 % ( ISI muthirai kuthuna thappu pathu)
c. Hey I answered few questions wrongly in the last internal….cha I should have
done them correctly -16%(Better join students council, ethudukume feel pana
mateenga)

5. Boys or girls who is best at answering viva questions? Substantiate

- How do i know that , i’m always caught alone in the viva(puriyuthu, systema
madhituvom)
- Always Girls rock. U need no proof ( that was obviously written by a girl,
ignore it!)
- Boys have more analytical knowledge
- Girls – vayaadenga and by crying

6. Which is your favourite hobby?

a. Sighting
b. Msging (even forwading blank msgs)
c. Bungee jumping, scuba diving
d. Studying medicine

Most people were equally divided between all these options. Kudos to those people
who honestly wrote down their hobbies.But we don’t believe the liar who wrote
“Reading Harrison for the fourteenth time!”.

7. Which celebrity do u think needs a make-over?

a. Nayantara
b. Britney spears
c. Tom cruise
d. Me!

65
 Actually this was the most unpopular question we guess... responses were divided
with nothing interesting.

8. Hav u ever been in a relationship?

We’re sure nobody answered honestly because only 20% said yes. Replies like
“ No.Not intending to try.” (and cry???)
“ Nangala basically romba nallavanga.”This reply will not fool us.
Still we do not comprehend why someone wrote “Suma ma’am”

9. If cloning was possible ..whom would u want to clone?

Everyone had their own favourites - Trisha, Nayantara, Robert pattinson (Edward
Cullen),
Jyotika. We , wish to clone our co- editor coz no equals yet!

10. College life is fun because of…………..?

a. Gf/Bf( many .... may make life even more interesting) 8%
b. Medicine rockz 4%
c. Op - only one person (what is this college coming to?)

Other responses
- Friends ( always loyal)
- Biochem theory class and Anatomy dissection ( ??? we said fun, do u know
wat that means?)
- Lectures (please look up a dictionary for the meaning of fun.)

11. Which is the Better way of Maintaining Friendship

a.obviously texting ya…we get shout out your inner feelings
b.Nothing can replace chatting
c.Phone conversations
d.Long walks( someone wrote “ holding hands”)
Yoschi letter podran( engalukka??? Ila???)

Someone wrote making our friend to stay with us longer by making him study
nothing (friends gotta be really careful)

66
12. If you have to write a Thesis , what subject will you choose?
a. “Study on the Molecular Structure of Amino acids” or something equally
interesting. – 0% ( what’s wrong with amino acids guys. They are interesting
you know!)
b.“Methods of passing internals without studying with an overview on Bit
Preparation.” 4%only ( since remaining got it in their genes, we doubt)
c. What exactly is a thesis?? This turned out to be the most popular response
garnering an unprecedented 85%

- Study on the narcotic effects of theory classes (that’s a good one)

- How MBBS kills without shedding blood (just as Love, You Dim-Wit)
- Terrorism ( but why??)
- How to correct a figure (you should write that, it would be a instant best seller)

13. Do you exercise?

a. Yes, sometimes i walk to class - 45%
b. I go to the gym regularly.- 10%
c.How do you spell exercise - 30%

- I climb stairs ( actually we too get up from bed daily)
- Regularly in dreams

14. How often do you look at yourself in the mirror?

a. Very raaarely (liar!!) - 55%
b. Once a day only , promise!! -30%
c. Every other minute- 15%
- Why should I ? I know I’m gorgeous. ( we really don’t have a comment for that)
- Why talking about physics ? This is a medical college. ( what r u talking about?)

15. If you are going to be stranded on a desert island who would you wish to be with
you. 15% said they would want a cook. ( good .. eating is always important) 10%
wished for a professor so the wont miss classes. (LOL)
- Surya ( Aasaiya paaru)
- My room mate( Dear Room mate Be Safe)
- Cell phone ( Toweruku enga povinga? Mandyla natupingala)

67
 - A water bottle, kurkure, frooty, uncle chips, and limca ( We asked “who” ‘Who’
usually refers to a person not picnic items! !)
- Our hostel water doctor (Hoorey, athu hostela irumkumbodhey work pannadhu!)

Thanks people, for bursting out your feelings... this Quest is yet not over...wait
for the next Radiance (as usual practice answering in classes) SEE YOU..!!
