I was the numero-uno in everything means everything that my hands lay upon in any field. Life was peaceful yet really magnetizing but voila, due to a (brainy) clotting mechanism, everything was scattered. From childhood till date, life has taken umpteen number of turns for me but every point was an adventure... from the faultless riches to the agony of rags. Being a doctor means being only a 'doctor' because a doctor in my case is just a prefix to my name and nothing else. From the introductory speech (Before the Beginning) to the summary (The Epilogue), I shall open from the very start i.e. from my birth till today. I live in a world where the laws of one heroic act after another are just unfitting due to a disability. But I find the real disability in people who can't find joy in life and are bitter and malevolent. If you have a disability... whatever it takes, don't be mean to people. There is a plan and a purpose behind every act, no matter what is it's location, place or time. A genuine friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.
