Self care is often neglected or considered as luxury. Especially doctors are so busy saving others lives 24×7, that thoughts of self also doesn't creep in. You have beautifully captured the essence of memories,"the hallways don't feel the same, yet they are"

Beautifully written Dr. Manchireddy. Nostalgia only increases as we get older. Bask in the memories when you can. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing.

“childhood friends, neighbors who still remember you, distant relatives who light up when they see you. You begin to feel deeply connected again, as if a puzzle piece is slipping back into its rightful place” .. resonates with me. Thank you for writing about your visit. I visited India through you during the read. Thank you.
