My brother was adamant about AIIMS Rishikesh and although our parents and relatives were against his decision he went for it. He had offers from KGMC, BHU, and AMU. They were worried that AIIMS Rishikesh had no reservations/quotas and did not consider it at par with the AIIMS legacy.
He, however, was very confident about his decision and the relentless arguments did not dissuade him from joining AIIMS Rishikesh. After spending a year or more at AIIMS Rishikesh he realized it was the best decision of his life. He had found a family away from home and was also attached to the institute.h
He claimed that it was the peaceful and serene ambiance that kept his spirits high even during the hardest of times. Thanks to the surreal experience he spent the most difficult years with great positivity.
