My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
Bhai, sabki koi “dream branch” hona zaroori nhi hai
It’s okay to not “love” a branch. Frankly, how can you even love radiology, nuclear medicine or rad onc without having had any real exposure to them?
But at some point, make an informed choice, pick one and give it a fair shot. Just like MBBS, you’ll enjoy some parts, and for others, you’ll have to suck it up and do the work. Interest doesn’t always come first. Sometimes you get good at something, and then start liking it. Not everything has to begin with passion.
You can build a good career, earn money and still find most of your happiness outside work. Your profession is one part of your life, bhai not the entirety of it. It doesn’t have to be the love of your life.
