A very eloquent and poignant article has been written and published in this week's NEJM on TB. Though the writing skills of this young Physician from India are extraordinary, what touches me the most are his narrative skills...""[life is] the existence of what, in actuality, has no inherent ability to exist, but only balances with sweet, painful precariousness on one point of existence in the midst of this feverish, interwoven process of decay and repair."
Poetic indeed..to describe the effects of TB !!!

Do read through the entire document as his feelings of service in US are echoed by all of us who feel that our motherland needs more of the reverse brain drain...

Hello!
I actually wanted to comment on another of your pieces.. the one on Nobel Prize thoughts (can't recall the title right now), it's the one right before this one.
Just wanted to say, great writing! You captured the exact emotion which most of us feel right before heading up to the mike to ask questions of the great men who come to talk!
