why m i writing this...

i want people to know there is a degree called BDS...that i is a different course all together n not a sub branch of MBBS....that it involves 5yrs of training...v work on patients right from 3rd yr onwards...n that v r required to complete certain amount of work to be able to appear for exams...that v have to appear for practical exams in final yr where v r required to do everything v wud be doing in our day to day practice...that v have search our own exam patients.....v do have to study abt overall human anantomy physiology...n other subjects...that v study a lot more than jus 32 teeth...learn a lot more than pulling a tooth out....actually speaking extraction is the simplest dental procedure....n a lot more that goes into becoming a dentist.....

how i began writing...

i knew the reaction sarah n saira were gonna give when i wud tell them abt writing...they wud be like r u out of ur mind..n who wud like to read abt dental course....so i was prepared when i announced one day in the 1st week of internship...hello people i said in authoritative tone...n they glanced at me n were like what is this female gonna come up with...

I wanna write a book narrating the 4 yrs v spent in dental college...n b4 they cud say a word i continued..i dont know who is gonna read it..or if any1 is gonna be interested in it...but what the hell v r not doing anything better these day....n i guess this wud be fun....i have already spoken to julia coz i knew she wud be the only one enthusiastic abt such a project.....n have spoken to rohit n i have made him agree to help me (rohit is my sweet dear boyfriend who is a bit conservative n thinks i push things a bit too far...writing a book being one of them)..so its now up to both of u to decide...n i hope u both will agree...

by the looks of their face i knew i had won this battle...n i knew sarah wud convince vishal for me...(he is one of her best friends n my rakhi brother...n i know only sarah can make him say yes..)

so with sarah n saira on my side i and my group ventured into writing our experiences of these four yrs...

what brought us here.......

as for me i didnt think i had an option...since i was a kid i wanted to be a doctor...used to write dr sara on blank pages.....it was my dream...but it got near to being shattered...when i didnt get in mbbs...i was broken....didnt know what to do...how cud i fail so miserably in something i so badly wanted...had worked so hard to get.....cudnt accept it..jus cudnt take up bds...so took a standby option after the 1st round....then slowly...i calmed down...gathered myself together...decided being a dentist wouldnt be so bad....i cud add the dr perfix...n of course there was advantage that the life wudnt be hectic..n no emergencies....no cancellation of plans....so giving these excuses only to satisfy myself n convince myself i took it up in the next round.....


as for sarah...well it was her dad's dream...her dad is a builder...not very highly qualified...came to mumbai from manglore with jus few hundred rupees n made it big in the city of dreams...but his 1 dream was unfulfilled...he wanted to be a doc..n well sarah was quite opposed..she didnt wanna study work hard to be a doc...she proved that by getting a rank so unmentionable that i wudnt get her admission in even i guess speech therapy....well her dad then gave her ultimatum study again n give CET again or take a management (donation) seat....she now knew she was cornered....so she said ok for management seat but told her father that i m not gonna do mbbs come what may....i m not jus sticking my fingers in other people's orifices...except the mouth.....i will only do dentistry...her dad decided to give in that much...n here she was.....


next person is saira....hmmm..she is a happy go lucky carefree girl....also very hard working.......in 10th she got good percentage...she took up science..as arts n commerce was beneath her dignity...it was only for lesser mortals she said not for her highness saira shaikh.....well then she jus loved biology right from school days..she was allergic to physics n maths.....so there wasnt an option but to go for PCB (physics chemistry biology) group......she wud have jus loved doing anything from BSc n then Msc n Phd...or even physiotherapy......she jus gave CET coz everyone was giving..n basically to give a try....n she scored jus fine to get into our coll....



julia roberts.....aka juliet robert (got to know this secret only at the end of 1st yr at exam form filling time)....she is a bubbly chirpy girl...although forced into this profession....yet here the situation was very different....she got a very good rank..was getting into mbbs...but her parents were really not for mbbs...coz her elder sis was in mbbs...they said she is 26 n still studing for post graduation.....so they didnt want her in such a lengthy course...n they put her in bds though she wasnt too happy abt it......
