Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji (Fictional Name) was appearing for his Master of Surgery (MS) exam in AIIMS, New Delhi. The external examiner for the practical exam in between taking the viva of candidates used to smoke a cigarette. Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji and other doctors were impressed that the examiner smoked the most expensive brand of the Indian cigarette available in the market.
Sometimes later Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji was working as a surgeon in AIIMS, New Delhi after he had cleared his MS exam. Due to some work he had to go to the same medical college from which the external examiner had come. After his work was over he decided to go and meet the examiner and thank him personally for passing him in the MS exam.
When he reached his office, he found him relaxing while smoking a cigarette. Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji was surprised to see the external examiner smoking a mid-range priced cigarette.
Dr. Chaturji could not control his amazement and asked, “Sir, when you came to AIIMS as examiner you were smoking ‘that’ expensive brand of cigarette, but now you are smoking this cheap brand?”
The examiner replied, “This is the brand of cigarette I smoke routinely. I had bought that pack of expensive cigarettes especially for AIIMS, as befitting my status an external examiner there and impress the AIIMS doctors. I cannot smoke that expensive brand of cigarette routinely on my salary.”
People when going outside may project a more successful, rich or powerful image by various means. It is only when you observe them in their true surroundings that you see their true image.
NB: Needlessly to say Cigarette smoking is injurious to health and it is advised to stay away from them.
