Dear SP Sir, Kishore,

Thank you very much!

The talk went well, considering the little time I had to prepare, it went

very well, or so the people from Cipla and the audience said.

Initially I had considered avoiding my evening clinic, but then I decided

otherwise (some of those patients come from far). So I had one chance to go

through the 37 slides, just picked up what I thought was more important...

and surprisingly - when I saw the slides again at the presentation, they

looked so familiar! :-)

Thank you!

It will all go well. Always remember 'if you forget to prepare then prepare

to be forgotten'. So practice will help. even the most relaxed sounding

after dinner speaker would have prepared umpteen number of times. cheers

It will all go well. Always remember 'if you forget to prepare then prepare

to be forgotten'. So practice will help. even the most relaxed sounding

after dinner speaker would have prepared umpteen number of times. cheers

Re: The Prophetic Professor & Premonition

All the best Ravin. Remember even Boris becker confesses that he badly

shakes in his shoes before he starts serving... And Lata Mangeshkar still

finds her throat dry before she starts singing...

I am confident that you would emerge a blue eyed boy of the local

ophthalmological society.

session. I grant permission and finalize June 19, 2004, Saturday for the
