Dear Governing Council Members,
A true representation of Surgeons from all over the country with same attitude, feeling and fellowship to serve people, make academic advancement and to be together with happiness.
Lots have been done under the circumstances with Members having ambitions. To possess ambition is a nature of progress but to achieve it harming Institution is undesirable. Others have responsibility to check such elements and be together to strengthen association. Your legacy will be carrying forward by newerG.C. member in future. Sleeping members of introvert vision is not respected. Silence is a bliss but disaster for an association. Discussions – means positive results. Past is always glorious and made us learn many things. ASI has come out of many many worst situation to be victorious because of you.
Recently we had – BASANTPANCHAMI, VALENTINE’S DAY and HOLI. All have one common factor of “LOVE, LET YOU LOVE OTHERS and OTHERS LOVE YOU”.Way of presentation may be different.BasantPanchamifor good harvesting positive life among farmers and celebrations for better future and love. Valentine – gave message of mutual respect to love all, while Holi is a festival of Colour to bring colour in our life to bring everyone together with happiness.
You have to go a long way in your life. Make it beautiful. Turn its distraction into positive action. Dream in day time, to pass sleepless night to achieve it. You will be winner.
Change is inevitable. Change as per time or time will change you. Do not overindulge in others estimations to harm yourself. To go beyond is wrong as to fall short. BALANCE all aspect of life.
Yoga Master BKSIYENGER said, “It is through alignment of the body that I discover alignment of my MIND, SELF and INTELLIGENCE”. Ability to be in present movement is a major component of mental wellness and balance to give success, happiness and satisfaction. Do not mourn for the past and worry about future but focus on present to BALANCE LIFE.
I wish you all very pleasant, fruitful, positive and vibrant life ahead. Life is more than Surgery. Go beyond to find its truth to be HAPPY and let others be HAPPY.
GOD BLESS YOU.
