Back in 70s, in the good old days, the diligent ones became doctors,
Brightest joined the Civil Services, And academics became professors,
The was set pattern to our studies, we aspired to become great in life,
Professionals in suits, name & fame, with bank balance, family and wife,
Few could however achieve the goal, for life is more than a job & earning,
Some professions need compassion, dedication to serve, spirit of helping,
Our Alma mater proudly contributed, preparing many for this noble work,
Our classmate Dr Surya too is part of, journey five decades ago he’d embark,
There’d surely so many who can recall, your kind words & your healing touch,
In the unwavering dedication to serve, you’ll try to treat and not speak much,
May your birthday be truly as magical, as your ability to diagnose and to heal ,
Here’s wishing u many happy patients, less late nights and no missing a meal !
Best Wishes, Somnath & Tandra
