Sir, You are really lucky to meet a person like Dr. Shetty, who is living just to save human life. The real take away on this is passion towards work, dedication and commitment. As Dr. Shetty mentioned the doctors who are working with him may get better placement and salary, but not a leader like Dr. Shetty, and the work culture he creates. The most important thing which you achieve after a surgery is the satisfaction and that no reward can compensate that. Hats-off to you. Regards, Unni.
on Jan 15, 2013Dear Subroto, Thank you for that really moving interview with Devi Shetty. I think the reasoning behind the concept that the children from the deprived society will change India tomorrow is really good. Anybody who reads this interview will be left thinking about the “doing well by doing good†concept. Regards, Vijay
on Oct 21, 2009Dr Shetty's thoughts brought to the fore a wish-<br /> that is instead of growing up with hearing good wishes from our elders which say that all problems should stay out of your way, we should hear that you should always come out tops in adversity. Adversity for most of us is taken as an aberration, and not part and parcel of life, and something which is as important as the good times.<br /> <br /> Besides other qualities of Dr Shetty, he has this amazing quality of expressing himself so well, the metaphor of elephant, and the stories he has chosen have left me thinking....
on Oct 11, 2009Dear Subroto, Thank you for this beautiful interview in Zen Garden. It is true that privilege or even position comes with responsibility. I guess responsibility is a word broader in scope than mere accountability. Accountability is doing something because of the risks involved in not doing it. Responsibility on the other hand, at least to me, denotes walking that extra mile. Dr. Devi Shetty has certainly done so. Best regards, Lubna
