adult books at the age of five. Medicine was one
of his favourite interests, and he decided to
become a doctor. When he was six years old,
doctors in a hospital said he could watch them.
He spent many hours watching them and he also
read a lot of books about medicine.

eleven to study medicine. He wants to finish his
studies in India and then go to Harvard
University in America. When he was younger,
