ASRAM medical college

 Today, I have reached a significant milestone of five years at ASRAM Medical College !! It's been profoundly fulfilling and enriching experience. Teaching MD post graduate students of Anaesthesiology on a daily basis was my significant role  ... sharing my knowledge and experience and contributing to the next generation of medical professionals. I must thank the entire faculty of ASRAM Medical College especially the management and the staff who had been so kind towards me ...Thank you ASRAM... Col Pradeep Pendyala, Professor of Anaesthesiology

Dr Satya Swaroop

 Although all my classmates are very dear to me..

Dr Satya Swaroop ( Swati ) and dear Dr V Somasekhar Sarma were my closest friends ❤️🌹. Satya Swaroop was my friend and a teacher too although he's my classmate. I met him for the first time when I saw him playing a Banjo ( Bulbul Tarag) in one of my  neighbourhood  lanes of Chengalraopeta of Vizag. I was immediately impressed by his skill in playing the Banjo instrument. He told me that he's from Eluru and his second language is Hindi instead of Telugu. His Hindi was very weak. I started teaching him Hindi and he started teaching me playing the Banjo. That's how we became friends. That's during our intermediate days. Much later, we became classmates in Andhra Medical College. During MBBS, he's my full-fledged teacher of all subjects of MBBS. We lost both of my classmates Dr Swati and Dr Sarma due to severe Bronchial Asthma and severe Diabetes respectively. I'm working at Dr Swati's Eluru as professor of Anaesthesiology.

Get-together at Noma kalyana vedika

 It's indeed an exhilarating and thrilling experience to meet our dear classmates at Noma Kalyana Vedika, Secunderabad last night while attending the lovely wedding of Chy Dr Sravya and Dr Sashidhar. Could spend some quality time with dear N Subba Rao my dear classmate and Dean of Gayatri Medical College of Visakhapatnam. Raghunath Rao was with me chatting while I was busy absorbing some of the greatness of the BC Ray awardee. Dr Ravi Raju's presence made the get-together more worthy with his enigmatic presence. Made some wonderful chatting with dear Dr Raghav Raju the famous cardiologist of Star Hospital of Banjara hills and of course sang few songs for the entertainment of dear Anil Cherukuri the well known Gastroenterologist. Suprise pack was dear Krishna Kumari with her rib-tickling jokes. Dear Jay Sekhar presented me wonderful blazer to add to my wardrobe and great sweet memories. Dr Radha the ex principal of Andhra Medical College was already planning for our next get-together. That's the spirit of the Goldys of Andhra Medical College the 75 batch ♥️♥️

Life's interesting

 It's constantly raining here for the last two days. Holidays declared for Vinayaka Chaturthi followed by Sunday. Saw a nice movie at Eluru last night despite heavy rains..GOAT at my favourite theatre at Eluru...SVC Cinemas. Was wondering about my life...I must thank my classmate Dr Chakradhar for what I'm today. Once I saw his profile name as Professor Chakradhar and I loved it. Till then, I never thought I would prefer a teaching appointment in a medical college after my retirement in 2015 after serving army medical corps for 33 long years. I had planned to open a tennis academy at Secunderabad where I can coach tennis. I had even marked a location for the same at Ramakrishna Puram, Secunderabad. But everything changed after seeing my classmate's name in a WhatsApp. I too wanted to have a title of Professor preceding my name. That's how I joined very next day after retirement at Malla Reddy institute of medical sciences and later worked at Medicity Hyderabad and then at Asram for the last five years...life is very interesting... Professor Colonel Pradeep Pendyala 😊😊

Guru Purnima

 Guru Purnima a day of reflection 

On this sacred day 

The teachers who have made us who we are

We offer our respects, our love, our prayer 

For our mentors who shaped our lives with care 

With reverence, we bow our heads ... Col Pradeep Pendyala Professor of Anaesthesiology

My son

 My only son is doing very well in life ...the reason is very simple...we never gave him the luxurious life style...he has come up the hard way. He's never taught in expensive convents...he was not permitted to study in an engineering college on capitation fees...he studied in a simple engineering college which he obtained on his own merit. Today, I see parents spending lakhs on their children's education...even a play school fees is a lakh and kindergarten is three lakhs. Medical seat is in crores. Children drive down to their school or colleges in most expensive cars. My sincere suggestion...if you want success... there's only one way...the hard way...Col Pradeep Pendyala Professor of Anaesthesiology

Anaesthesiology

 Understanding and memorizing Anaesthesiology could be very challenging. Frankly, I am writing this note for my Anaesthesiology post graduate students but others also may be benefited by reading this post. Whenever you read your subject, write brief notes, never forget to highlight important points (don't worry about spoiling the look of your textbook). After reading a chapter, you must ask questions to yourself on the same topic and don't go to bed unless you understood every aspect of what you've just read. Always look for diagrams and charts, they make it easier to understand a topic much faster. Once you have memorized the topic, never forget to discuss the same with your classmates. Always go for the concept rather than memorizing the whole topic. The more you read, the more you fall in love with your

 subject... happy reading... Col Pradeep Pendyala Professor of Anaesthesiology
