ISA cultural club

 I'm a proud member of an elite group... ISA Cultural Club... It's a brainchild of Dr Naveen Malhotra sir. It's approximately hundred like-minded members. All are very talented and were handpicked by the admin. We enjoy sharing our creative work everyday. I usually make two new videos everyday and share them in this group. Besides this, the thing that keeps me going is teaching. I love teaching Anaesthesiology. This year, we'll have two more batches of NEET qualified post graduate students. What else do I need at my age ... Col Pradeep Pendyala 🙏🏼🙏🏼

True Leaders

 Have you ever seen a MBA degree holder being a very successful corporate leader. Have you ever seen a topper of the university being very successful in real life. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Dhirubhai never had big degrees but look at the heights they could reach. Leadership can't be taught, explained or instilled... It comes naturally. With the rise in cutthroat competition in almost every field, we need natural leaders, skilled people, not MBA graduates or University toppers. We need people with excellent communication skills, inspiration excellence and people who can influence the society. Let's build a better society with better leaders... 🙏🙏Col Pradeep Pendyala. 

PS. Wishing you all a Happy Holi 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Ayyo Paapam

 I've done my MBBS from Andhra Medical College ( 1975-80 Batch ). After MBBS. Joined Indian Army Medical Corps in 1982. During my first annual leave, I visited my alma mater... Andhra Medical College. Met many of my friends and my classmates and a few professors. Moreover, now,  I was a Captain ... not just a Doctor. Met our professor of Medicine, Dr Mastan Rao. He asked me about my career and when I told him that I have joined Army ... His first reaction... " Ayyo Paapam". Which means, ohhh, I'm sorry for you ! Those days, anyone joining army meant only one thing... that he's been a failure everywhere. I had one more issue after joining Army.... All the girls which were offered to me when I was pursuing MBBS were no more available, because, in Andhra Pradesh nobody wants their daughters to be married to an Army Guy. I lived as a forced bachelor for three years with no suitable matches ( rather none ). Well, my first pelli choopulu ( seeing a bride for matrimonial alliance) was held in 1985. The girl was from Nagpur although originally from Vizag ... They had no issues with me being an Army officer. I saw the girl and immediately approved her. When we reached home, my parents told me that I can still see some more suitable girls if I wish. I told them, if I had said once yes, it means only YES. And I got married🙂🙂

PS. I'm the same person even after 37 years of married life but Andhra Pradesh has definitely changed a lot... Now, they're giving their daughters to Army guys for marriage🙂🙏🏼Col Pradeep Pendyala

English bloopers

 Being in Army for 33 years, I've worked in every corner of India. Hindi and English are common languages that unite India. Interestingly, English is spoken differently in each state of India. Some are extremely confused with its pronunciation. Most of the  Andhraites pronounce Against as Agnaist. National is always pronounced as Neitional and Nation is pronounced as Naytion. This reminds me of our Associate Professor, Dr Venkat Rao garu of Andhra Medical College of Physiology department used to say ... Asked not, asked not, you asked this question... Professor is often spelt as Proffesor. When it comes to English, nobody can beat the Bloopers of Bengali English. There's a joke circulating in WhatsApp that recent accidental launch of a missile from India to Pakistan was the strange pronunciation of lunch by a Bengali commanding officer ... He wanted his Lunch ... But he sounded as Launch... Ha ha 😂 Col Pradeep Pendyala... ( Please read this post in a lighter vein... I've malice towards none 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Jealousy

 People often get jealous of other people's success. They hate  other's success. People rarely feel good when someone else is successful and happy. Strange but often true. To be successful, we must stop worrying about other people's business. We should never compare ourselves with others. God has given each one of us a strange ability and skill which others don't have. We must only focus on our plus points that's all... Happy weekend... Col Pradeep Pendyala
