After eating their lunch, Ria and her friends divided the money and paid equally for it. Though Ria was worried about the competition, she was glad that she was able to eat good food this time. Together with her friends, she went back to the college in the same Hyundai car. They all went back to their class and sat inside. Ria and Nancy sat on the second bench in the middle of the class while Anusha and Nazia sat in the front of them. A few minutes later a tall woman with grey hair walked inside. She wore a blue sari and she was so tall that everyone had to crane their necks.
All the students got up to wish her good morning. Ria too stood along with them.
"Everyone please sit down. My name is Doctor Indira Devi and I am the head of the biochemistry department. I will be teaching some of the topics. You will also have classes from the other teachers in this department. However, I have to warn you something. Those who are not inte
Ria showed the interns and requested them to make a fake prescription for her. Though they hesitated initially, they finally agreed and one of them was able to sign almost exactly like the head of the department.Ria could not believe her luck when this work was finally done. She and her friends went back to the hostel where they sat down in their room, watching a Hindi movie called Race on Nazia's laptop. Ria who had hardly seen any Hindi movie was surprised to see a movie like this. Though music and dance were expected in any Bollywood movie, she didn't know any good thrilling movies in Hollywood. The only star she ever heard of was Shah Rukh Khan, who was known as the king of Bollywood and almost everyone loved him in her family. The name Shah Rukh Khan was so popular that all dumb kids in the family thought he was the president of India.An hour later, Nancy left the campus along with her cousin. Ria and Nazia walked to Vinodna's hoste
The next morning, after breakfast Nazia and Ria headed straight to the dissection hall. Doctor Vijaykanth showed the method of dissection for the first time after asking everyone questions. Few of them managed to answer correctly and many didn't. Nazia and Ria both gave the perfect answers."You all have touched and felt those three landmarks yesterday. These three are important for the dissection on the back. Now we have to take the scalpel and make a midline incision up to the level of iliac crest up to the occipital bone." he said as he began to use the scalpel.All the students around the stretcher began to push hard to get a better view. Some like Nazia who were short stood on a stool to see everything. Those who were tall had no problems at all."Now we have to make horizontal incisions to this midline incision."Ria who was the nearest couldn't breathe properly because of the people pushing behind her. Her chest was almost attached to the cor
After lunch, they all walked to their class for biochemistry class. Professor Indira Devi took the class again. This time both Nancy and Ria did not even try listening to her.Nancy put her earphones in one ear. Her hair was open and it covered the earphones very well. Looking at her, Ria cursed her ponytail. She removed a book and pretended to write notes. Nancy laughed when her eyes fell over what she was doing. She drew Professor Vijaykanth with an abnormally large nose.Nancy laughed so loudly that everyone turned and looked at her. Ria looked at her annoyed. Doctor Indira Devi narrowed her eyes at them. She turned away from the blackboard and looked at them. Pure anger was visible on her face. She kept her hands on her hips and looked at Nancy. Nancy suddenly realized what had just happened. She slowly turned and looked at Ria, who was now furious with her friend."What the hell, Nancy?" whispered Ria."Sorry.""Yes, the girl
Life at Lakshmi Narayan Medical College was very different for Ria. Unlike before she never had to live in a hostel before and she never had to eat a soft diet for such a long time. She felt like her taste buds have already died. The campus wasn't as clean as compared to her schools in America either and she was occasionally greeted by rats in her hostel room or washroom.The anatomy dissection which she was supposed to do for the hand did not go well at all. Despite precaution from her, she ended up cutting many nerves by mistake. Professor Vijaykanth scolded Ria and her partner for their mistakes."How will you do any surgery? You cannot cut nerves and tendons. It is good that this is a dead body and such a mistake while dissection is fine now but you both will do it tomorrow as well on the upper limb. I will make you both do it again until you are perfect." said Doctor Vijaykanth.Nazia on the other hand did her work pe
Finally, it was the day where the students were supposed to elect two persons, one boy and one girl as class representatives. From taking attendance to sorting out conflicts between their batch and the other batches, class representatives were supposed to play an important role for their batch. The representatives are also supposed to be involved in organizing the cultural events of the batch like fresher's day or college festivals. They even have to show their anchor skills on the stage. Not only this, post their internship they all would be guided by them for the permanent license from the state council to practice. Important notices about holidays or any notes or important points sent by a teacher for their subjects will be sent out to the students by these representatives. Any student having any kind of trouble whether in ragging or being harassed by a professor can talk to the representatives of their batch, who in turn can take the
Ria and Nancy returned exactly an hour later with a huge smile on their face. It wasn't a happy smile but Nazia felt that they had done something which was not good. She wanted to win the elections but not by using the wrong path and she wondered what her friends were up to. She knew that Ria and Nancy were very bold but their boldness often got them in trouble. Ria did not believe in compromising any situation. She would often go too far to show someone that they were wrong. Although she did not like it yet she could never stop her from it."What is with that smile on your face?" asked Nazia, concerned."Yes, that smile looks creepy," said Anusha."Oh, girls! Please relax and enjoy the show," said Nancy, as she and Ria sat down on their bench."Nancy, if you did something wrong then be ready to get scolded at home. I will call your mother and tell you everything," said Anusha."Anusha dear, there is no foul play here. Just a reaction to an action
After Nazia's speech, two more students gave their speeches. One of them was from Ria's stretcher. He was very tall and had curly hair that almost covered his eyes. His name was Sai Kumar. Ria wondered how could see anything with that hair over his eyes. The other boy was neither tall nor short. He wore simple shoes and clothes. Ria almost felt that she had never seen him before. His name was Abhijeet Sehgal. Doctor Shruti left the room saying that she would come back again."I am going to vote for Nazia but I am confused about the guys," said Ria."I am going to vote for Sai. He sounds very serious about his work," said Anusha."Yes, so serious that his eyes got covered with his hair," said Ria.Anusha scowled at Ria but Ria continued to smile. Anusha rolled her eyes at Ria's attitude."He looks as though someone broke his heart and he is still suffering from that pain. He decided to grow more hair in the front so that he would not see any g
Ria played the video that she had recorded earlier when she went downstairs. The video showed Vinodna's friends talking about Manisha removing a few of Nazia's votes to make Vinodna win. This shocked everyone in the classroom. Nazia looked furiously at Manisha, who kept sneezing again and again because of her allergy."Manisha, how could you even think of abusing your position to make someone win?" asked Doctor Shruti loudly, after watching the video completely."Aahchoo!" said Manisha."Shruti Mam, I am sorry," said Vinodna.She kept her head down and Ria could see that she was completely embarrassed now. Ria did not feel any sympathy for her. Instead, it made her angrier. She had tried to win unfairly.
