After leaving Eastleigh in 1957, I did my premedical from Delhi University and then graduated in 1965 from Government Medical College, Amritsar. I represented our college in lawn tennis and captained the cricket team also.

I returned to Kenya and after finishing internship in Nakuru, I moved to Nairobi where I worked at the Aga Khan Hospital and as a surgical registrar at the Kenyatta National Hospital. After completion of this, I went to the UK and passed my FRCS from Edinburghh. In 1973 I migrated to Canada where I did further fellowship training in general surgery and practised for nineteen years.

In 1994 I decided to change my career in medicine and moved to Phoenix in Arizona where we have lived now for 12 years. At the age of 55 I did residency in family medicine and obtained a Diploma in Family Medicine. Recently I was appointed as Associate Professor in Community and Family Medicine at the University of Arizona School of Medicine and also in the Midwestern School of Medicine, Chicago. I still work five days a week and enjoy playing golf at the weekends and love going to gym for exercise every evening.

Tripta and I just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with our two sons Ashish and Manish. I thank god every day for what he has given to us - good family and friends.
