 But yeah, I'm finishing off that I hugely misunderstood exam. Some of the questions and the answers are messed up. But anyways, we're not going to argue about the great exam. But the point is that congratulations. I mean, having that feat to accomplish and then writing. Coming here, all dressed up nicely. I saw you guys a few hours ago. You probably look a mess like I do. It's great. I see you all nice and smiley and clean and polished. So basically, I'm just going to say I'm going to be really quick. I just like it was the last semesters. And do you have anything to say? Um, okay. Well, I mean, I just want to say, like, we all remember med one when we walked into embryo for that first day of class, how cold it was. And that was the beginning of an era. And now we've completed that chapter of our lives. And it feels great to be back in the med three classroom, I guess, for this ceremony. But yeah, I mean, as even said, it's been a long journey. This exam that we took today, even though we had it early in the morning, even with all the confusion that was going on and everything like that. Everyone cleaned up well. Everyone's here. We're all excited that we're done. So congratulations again. And we're just going to get this ceremony started. So I want to introduce Dr. Agni Hopi to give us our graduation speech. So give her a round of applause. I have to write something down. Sciences, graduates, family, and friends. The first word today has to be congratulations. Also so privileged to spend the day with your family and your friends who share the accomplishments of our graduates. Let me start by saying that this is the first time I've been asked to speak at a basic sciences graduation ever. Now, I don't want you to worry that you have a looking on your hands. I did my research and like any good speaker, I went on movie and searched for commencement speeches. I listened to a lot of addresses in quotes and came up with my top three quotes for you. And I promised to be very sure as well. My first quote is from by Winston Churchill. Now, the commencement speech Winston Churchill gave to his own preparatory school in 1941 isn't just famous because of course he's Winston Churchill, but it's also the shortest ever commencement speech on record. He said, never give in, never give in, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense, never yield to force, never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. My second quote is by Steve Jobs, the after co-founder and famed college dropout. He gave a very highly respected commencement speech at the Stanford University graduates in 2005. Of course he wore his trademark blue jeans and sandals and shared three of his most pivotal points in his life in which I would like to share with you. He said, your time is limited. So don't waste the time in someone else's life. Don't be trying, don't be trapped by drama which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart. And in conclusion, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. And I couldn't finish this without a third quote from J.K. Rowling. Now J.K. Rowling, of course, is one of the best-selling authors of all times but before she published Harry Potter she was an unemployed single parent who one step away from homelessness. And she spoke at the 2008 commencement speech at Harvard and what she said was the knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are after, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself or the strength of the relationships until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift for all that is painfully won and it has been worth more than any qualification I have ever learned. Now I can see it in your smiles, so those are my three quotes. I can see it in your smiles that, of course, you are celebrating your accomplishments. When you began your medical journey here full of excitement, the excitement of childhood dreams and adult innovations realized you made it to medical school. You triumphed when you fully appreciated the different talents in each one of you and you began to be comfortable and proud of your unique gifts. As you look forward, I know your dream of the day that all your debts will be paid of many hours of sleep every night and in the land where family and friends will be close and even maybe a goat free land. Now as I remember as I remember myself standing where you are today I also know that you fear that your ideals will be turned into cynicism that you will be overworked and sleep deprived that your patients' concerns about their illnesses will become wines to be written out as some access to diagnoses that your hearts will turn into stone as you watch alcohol and drugs destroy lives over and over while all you can do is catch air and catch death you hear that your ambition will fade and your empathy will run dry after repeated encounters with human beings molested and beaten in body maimed and spirited and crippled in motion. Now I know just as I did you fear that life's daily toys will disarm your courage to fight for your patients to change in your communities and to let your ideals guide you but dear graduating class I just have one main key thing to say to you that will a key idea that will resonate to what I have to say in the next couple of sentences as you undertake the journey ahead you will travel through strange lands where the inhabitants will persuade you to dispose of your emotions and harden your hearts Do not be fooled Remember the classic words of Dr. Francis where he peed body in his historic lecture to Howard Medical Students in 1926 He said the physician who attempts to take care of the patient while he neglects this which is the emotional factor is as unscientific as the investigator who neglects all the conditions that affects his experience please take care of yourself and take care of your hearts Without your heart you will not feel your patients anguish enjoy without your heart you are the patient Let your heart guide you consult with an absence in the care of your patients and of yourself On your journey use your wisdom wisdom for knowing when to be good, when to be conventional and when to be bold wisdom for knowing when to use common sense and when to target the one wisdom to know when to follow the yellow brick road and when to paint the red rose or green wisdom to change your new path it would make your heart sink wisdom to make your success in your own terms on your journey on on behalf of all faculty and staff I wish you happiness and great success in all your future endeavors you made us proud First time that I recall the Dean of Basic Science Award goes not to one not to two but to three recipients The Dean of Basic Science Awards is given to the student with the highest grade point ever and you had a three-way time and so it's my great pleasure to call up first Andy Tron which is presented to a great pleasure to present this award to Parthenon congratulations and best wishes the graduates this afternoon the memories of this wonderful island and we in the very very near future congratulations the professors I'd like to call back this is award for outstanding pre-med professor there's no bromance like this here Dr. Mehta so for med one outstanding professor is Dr. Mama Tesser Nivasan and for med two outstanding professor goes to our keynote speaker Dr. Agni Hogi we'd like to call up Dr. Sanyal three semesters back the same page is sitting in the same classroom and I was standing here I remember after every block exam they used to hate my guys they used to hate me they used to hate my shadow they used to hate the very grand eyes of Gopal and they broke the neuroscience-chef record of course that record has been broken subsequently coming from that page it means a great thing to me I think the professor goes to Dr. Kakkar so guys every time you go into med five you come up to me how's med four?
