Personal profile
I am quite an all rounder in terms of work-life balance. Apart from insatiable enthusiasm in my clinical work and my love for teaching, I have great interest in sports, music and travelling. I captained my basketball team in school and play cricket, badminton and tennis. I like cycling and support the reds. My interest in music is varied and I am learning to play the guitar.
My family consists of my wife, who is a popular local GP, and a daughter who is a dentist in Surrey. She is now married and we are eagerly looking forward to becoming grandparents.
Medicine runs in my blood. My father was a Surgeon and a Professor and my sister is a leading Paediatrician in India. I always look forward to waking up and going to work.
