And you think... its too late?


Picture: Liverpool from Albert Dock. 

                    Liverpool has got world heritage status by UNESCO, want to know why? ... go and visit city :D 
Well, I am today not here to talk about the Liverpool but about something very important that I learned from the Liverpool. Few days back, I was thinking its too late to go for PhD now as it will take away five more years of my life and neither its worth to get enrolled in CCT ( Completion of certificate of training) as it lasts for 7 years and you will labelled as trainee for 7 years. This were the thoughts and I have already abandoned thought of PhD from my mind. 
                     I went to Wigan, a small town near by the Liverpool, having a very famous NHS hospital. Its Orthopaedic department has been given a Centre of excellence status. I met some of the doctors there and talk with them realised me that there are still peoples who believe that there is never too late! They are enrolled in CCT at age of 32 years or more. So its not hard boy! you are still quite young to follow your dreams. My friend Jyotirmay is also 32 years old and I never knew that he completed his MS ENT in 2009 and went for fellowship in skull base surgery in Bombay, later joined as AP in some medical college in Karnataka and presently on Dr P N Berrys fellowship in UK. He is still aiming to pursue Mch in rhinology and skull base surgery from wigan! 
                    I dont know why I always require some examples to keep me motivated but thats it about me :) Later in evening I was sitting near Albert Dock in Liverpool looking at horizon displaying play of beautiful colours. It was telling me it doesnt matter whether you succeed or not, it doesnt matter what your friends are doing, what really matter is are you enjoying your journey towards your dream? If yes, then its never too late to continue your journey to pursue your dreams!

Hmmm,.. now I am in mood to talk something else and why not about Liverpool!

Liverpool is multi cultured city having a magnificent history! You wont believe but it has more foreign trade offices than London! Its a Liverpool which introduced the peoples that world is quite larger than you believe and quite shorter to reach various places that you believe totally unreachable.
Well, it all started like this..
   Liverpool was commercial trade centre of the world, all the ships to USA and from east countries like India and china were going from Liverpool and coming to Liverpool. Africans were being made salvers and exported to USA were they forced to work for cotton production and cotton from USA were imported to England though Liverpool. More than 70% immigrants going to USA or any other part of world including Australia and New Zealand were travelling through Liverpool....
    Its has got two very good museum with historic importance. namely Liverpool Maritime museum and International Slavery museum. If you want to know more about Liverpool history, just Google it out and you will know lot of things that you might not have come across!
