Dear respected loving aunt,
Namaste and I beg a pardon for replying late your email. Well..aunt, honesty to say, I was busy with my work and exam. I got to go to work,internship practise everyday and at the same time got to prepare for exam. Here,to get the place for internship is very competative.
For example, couple of weeks before,Bir hospital annouced 70 places for internship.There were 500 candidates. Can you imagine Nepal is producing every year 1000 doctors.
Well..whatever, I was selected for those 70 places.And got study a lot for that.
Now I am having my Internship practise in Bir Hospital. The work load in Bir hospital is two times more than Thapathali Maternity Hospital.
I got to go 7 days a week. You see what a great field is medicine? Can't get even a single day rest. I have 2 times a week, contnous 36 hours duty.
More interesting during weekend and holidays other people celebrate and enjoy. But for us, weekend and holidays is hectic day.More sick,accidents and injured people come at this time.
Well..sometime, I feel my goodness this is too much. And also realize that I must have done big sin in my previous life. For which, I am paying now. Once I started my internship even I am not able to visit my relatives and your father. I just met him before he left for America that's all. As you already guess,even I do not have to reply your email as well.
Well...it has been long time that I haven't write email to Steve Ferguson as well. I sent photo and email to you and Steve Ferguson together.But he did not reply me at all. Even he did not reply my previous email also. Well..I gues he might be disappointed with me. Well..life is not alwyas the same. I know I did mistake to send those khukuri without asking him and later beg a pardon. But I did not ask him money to send for my internship practise here in Nepal. I just wanted to get my complete doctor degree in my own without my father's help. But at the end, for the final step, I got to depend on him. Well..I don't meant, I am not ashamed for it. I just wanna be the doctor in my own. Why?...I give you the reason as well..aunt?Well, its really upto you wether to believe or not? But this ths fact and I am telling. Actually, my father and mother do not wanted to study medicine and become doctor,because its quite expensive and they can't afford. But in my risk and faith and I dare to go to Latvia and study medicine.I went to study medicine in my own money which I earned from khukuri business which I wrote to Uncle Bill and you from Latvia.
Now, by seeing the young doctor life here. I fee bit disappointed.Nepal government's salary is around 18,000 rupees a month and even private hospital pay around 25,000 a month.In present situation,this sum is enough for just living and food. For example, now I need around 250-300 rupees a day for food and transportation.
But whatever aunt, I love this profession and I enjoy helping sick people. So I am happy for it. Well...I just gave a short picture of doctor life in Nepal. Undoubetly, senior and specialist earn good money here. In order to be especialist got to study another 4-5 years and is quite expensive now they are asking around 20 lakhs.
Well..lets see how life goes.I alwyas believe if I do good karma with good intention,whatever the things happen will happen for the best.
Well...aunt, in last email you wrote me you will come to Nepal around octber month. Let me know when you are coming. I will try my best to come to Airport to welcome you. I would be more than happy to see you. I saw you only once in my life. I was around 17 years at tha time. But now I am already 30 years old man.Many things happened in my life and undoubebtly, in your life also.
Waiting to see you..
Have a nice and safe journey. I do pray to the Goy for it as well.
Yours help receiver..
Ram. ( By the way, i wrote you letter quite fast,if I use any heart touching letter or sentence please do not bother of it and forgive me)
