General and me

 It was General Hasnain's official visit to the military station Saugor in 2009. He was addressing all the officers of the station. Suddenly during the talk, he asked the gathering if anyone can translate correctly the word Passion in Hindi. I raised my hand and said there's no exact translation for the word however the words Jazba and junoon are closest. He's impressed. Later, he's having tea with the officers. He desired to meet me during the tea. During the conversation, he did ask me how do I explain those two words. I said there's an element of madness in junoon whereas in jazba the person is balanced and has lots of passion for something. That was my first and last meeting with the General. Well friends, to achieve anything, we need to have these two words with us...jazba and junoon. And yes, I would suggest one more word ...mushaqqat, which means hard work 🙏🙏 Col Pradeep Pendyala

Post graduation

 Post graduation is a challenging period where you learn application of knowledge in the clinical setting. You may have hundred hobbies but you should know your priorities and also about your priority number 1. Dedication and becoming talented and passionate about the subject is the need of the hour. Love and support your parents and patients 🙏🙏 Col Pradeep Pendyala

Students

 I always wanted my students to be affable persons. He/she should have impeccable tastes in clothing, dress and fashion. They should be assiduously dedicated to Anaesthesiology as a profession. And they should be totally committed to medical education and learning. They should be friendly and fun loving...caring and honest. They should distinguish themselves as someone who's  passionate about quality of patient care and safety  Col Pradeep Pendyala 🙏🙏
