For a person wanting to be a doctor, my entire career revolved around the medical fraternity. Having failed to get admission into MBBS, by a few marks, I pursued my graduation and post-graduation even though I got a seat for BDS, as dentistry was not my choice, back in the seventies.
That I was destined to be a salesman and not a doctor was proven by my accidental appearing for an open interview with Wockhardt in 1979. My M.Sc results were awaited and I had gone to Delhi, where I got shortlisted for as trainee PSR after passing group discussion, written test and personal interview. I needed a job badly at Kolkata to support my parents.
