Good to be here with all of you this afternoon in Bangalore. I have lived in this city for 2 years and worked and taught in a medical college hospital here but this is my first visit to your hospital about which i have heard a lot of good things in the past and it is a pleasant coincidence that two of my friends, my long term mentor from Manipal and my colleague from the same medical college in Bangalore where i used to teach, also happen to work here.
