Hey Family and Friends, It's comming down to the last week here in India. I am writing a quick post to see if there is anything people want in particular as gifts? I need to know as soon as possible. Could be your last chance to get something from India. On another note, I am doing well, great health, and having a good time. It's really down to the wire here. Not much time left. I am going to see Dr. Gandhi and Dr. Joshi this week here in Dehra dun. Pla...

Life in Dehra dun is as usual. For some reason I always feel a bit under the weather here. Not really sick but also not the best feeling of health either. Coming back from the Valley of Flowers has left m...

Hey Family and Friends, Up here in Mussoorie with not much to do. It's been raining almost all day since clinic got out so we haven't done much. We did grab are umbrellas and take a trip down the street to look at a few shops and stop at a nice coffee house. There are two other medical students here from England, but not in the same program, who have been loads of fun to be around.
