The Quiz Topper




Dr. Dev (fictional name) was in first year of junior residency in Department of Surgery, AIIMS, New Delhi. A workshop on surgical sutures (stitches) material was organised for the residents of the department. At the end of the workshop a written test was organised to check what the residents have learned by attending the workshop. 

As Dr. Dev’s seniors had taught him well about sutures and other surgical instruments on joining the department, he had good knowledge even before the workshop. Also, as that day was not their emergency admission day, he was able to attend the workshop uninterrupted. 

Due to this, Dr. Dev topped the test defeating even the second and third residents by scoring a perfect 20 out of 20 marks .

Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji (fictional name) was Professor and Unit Head of unit in which Dr. Dev was posted. Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji had left the workshop well before the test was taken and the result was declared.

Next day, at the time of ward round, the Assistant Professor posted in the Unit informed, Dr. TK Chaturji, “Sir, after you left the workshop a test was conducted for the residents in which Dr. Dev topped.” 

 Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji who was not impressed with Dr. Dev’s academic powers looked with amazement at Dr. Dev and remarked, “If twenty donkeys (asses) run together, some donkey or other will come first.” “That doesn't mean that donkey has now become a horse.” “He will still remain a donkey.”

  After some achievement if your superiors/ teacher / parents / colleagues do not feel overjoyed or do not express their pleasure, do not take this as a discouragement. It may be that they just feel that you are destined for much bigger greatness or they do not want you to become complacent and stop improving yourself.

 An achievement is an achievement whether it is celebrated or not celebrated by your superiors/ teacher / parents or colleagues.
