Surgeon Across the Miles from Bombay to Boston

Autobiography of a surgeon who migrated from Bombay to Boston at a very young age for specialty post–graduate training in surgery. He established a successful surgical practice and became a recognized figure in the Boston medical community. He had an interesting career spanning over 47 years of practice. He has shed light on the discrimination he faced, medical malpractice suits, a fine balance between raising a family and building a medical practice. He touches upon landing a non–speaking role on the television show "Frasier" and his disappointment in not getting more Hollywood acting roles. He built a reputable career in interfaith work over the years and is proud of co–founding an interfaith youth leadership group with the Anti Defamation League of Boston. His interfaith work got him an invitation to the Obama White House for a meeting. He also reflects on his deep interest in gardening and landscaping which has helped him a great deal in his post–retirement past–time.
