Personal I am the eldest in a family of three. (Born and brought up in India and migrated to Kenya after my marriage to a Kenyan of Indian origin.) When in India, travelling and sight seeing was fun and I did manage to travel to almost all the major places. Now, my activities are limited because of the job and two growing children (12 year daughter and 8 year son), who take precedence over all else! Our trips are now restricted to either day or up to 1-2 nights stay out. My hobbies apart from travelling are reading and cooking. I neither smoke nor take alcohol. I have not had any formal computer lessons but I know my way around in Microsoft office applications. I am a non-practising Sikh by religion. Career Intentions To become an exceptionally good general Paediatrician. Eventually do either Neonatology or Neurology as a subspecialty.
