An Army Neurosurgeon writing his memoirs could be a rarity, but then author's four decades (almost) in the Indian Army as a doctor (in excess of three decades as a neurosurgeon) has indeed given him a sack-full of events and experiences, something that is just waiting to be shared. Beginning with the undergrad days at the Armed Forces Medical College Pune, the events and people that have shaped author's destiny awaits to be shared. Written from the perspective of a doctor and a neurosurgeon dealing with illnesses that require operating on the brain and spinal cord of men, women and children and being rewarded with gratitude and ecstasy when they recovered, and a feeling of emptiness with hours and days of introspection when they didn't, adding layered maturity to the (often wounded) psyche. The text is not chronicled as a documentary. Rather it is intended to be an account of inspiring, evocative and sobering recollection of author's own interactions with the men, women and children who placed their unflinching faith in him when they or their family members were sick. A debt of gratitude is owed to them. Some of the moments of author's family life too get intimately interwoven with the narration, that takes the reader back and forth in time as though negotiating a wormhole of time. With each day an education and another learning opportunity, it has been a never-ending journey on the learning curve. It is believed that the memoirs will find resonance with the neurosurgeons, neurologists, doctors, specialists, men and women and students who may or may not belong to healthcare professions, across the continents.
