Dhiya's POV
Early morning
"I landed the U.S safely. No need to worry about me. I am not a kid mom," I pressed the phone in my ear and stepped forward by taking my luggage.
"You are always kid to me, my girl," my mom said with a bit tension in her voice. I heard my dad's voice who is urged to talk to me..
"Dhiya!" My daddy's voice
"Daddy, I reached the U.S, within a few hours your daughter is going to attend the world-class conference and make you all proud," I said happily because this is part of my dream.
"Waiting for it. Good luck my daughter,
"Thank you, daddy," I disconnected the call.
I am Dhiya, Oncologist (Cancer specialist). I am an Indian. The only daughter of my parents, Deepak Chandra & Shivenya. My dad owned Dhiya importing & exporting companies, Dhiya college of science, Dhiya Bankers, the list goes on. My dad earned everything through his hard work.. He is a successful entrepreneur worldwide. My mom is the M.D of Dhiya companies.
This minute, I am thankful to my daddy who brought up me boldly & encourages me to pursue my dreams.
I am currently working in a Medical & Research Institute, Delhi. I wish to be independent so after a few trials, I got a good position in this institute. My daddy owned a hospital in Mumbai, In my free time, I would visit there too.
My higher officials suggest my name confidently to attend the programme. Recently, I was selected to attend the world-class conference in the U.S regarding the research in oncology.
This is the purpose of my visit to the U.S. My daddy arranged everything there, though he knew that I don't like any formalities and I wished to be Independent. I can't refuse my daddy's words too because he was my inspiration, my supporter etc.
I accepted the travel arranged by him kindly and reached the hotel. A few minutes later, I prepared a coffee and took a hot shower as it was chill outside, refreshed myself.
I look at the mirror, I could see the happiest Dhiya standing before. I wore a formal light blue colour dress. Then, applied the cream in my face, mascara in my eyes, light shaded lipstick and then added small bindi. I am ready, now.
I took all my files and research related papers carefully. Before leaving, I checked the slides of the presentation. I was satisfied with my work until now.
After 1 hour, I reached the worldwide conference meeting. It was a large building enclosed by glasses. The meeting was on the 12th floor. I was excited to see Oncologist like me from worldwide. The session was about to start.
We were sixteen-panel Oncologist from different countries sitting as a round table conference. There were 5-panel judge committee members.
They announced, two Oncologist from India, 2 from China, 3 from Russia, 3 from the U.S, 3 from the U.K, 3 from Canada.
Aww! Great, Two from India, My patriotism triggers me. The session starts.
I am excited to see each of them coming with different opinions and views. I took notes on the point which I like the most.
Next is my turn,
"Ms Dhiya Deepak Chandra, D.M (Medical Oncology) from India, who treats many cancer patients and provided the necessary medical & financial supports to them will proudly present her opinions," the committee member gave an Intro as before the speech of everyone.
Akshadh POV
"Good morning everyone. I am Dhiya.
According to my research & experience, Countries like India, even the educated people are thinking that cancer is a killer disease due to lack of awareness resulting in the mortality rate get increased year by year. Except for a few Cancers, other types can be identified easily if we closely observe our body. In case of growth of any tissue includes tumour cell with or without inflammation should be checked immediately. If we identified cancer in early or at least in the mid stage then the patient can overcome it very easily if they are mentally strong. Cancer doesn't mean we are going to die, fight cancer with strength and courage.,"
I was listening to her carefully. She came up with the same points what I mean to say more or less she conveyed all my points. What a coincidence? I admired her braveness and the value she has given to her points. The way she expressed her views makes everyone to think about cancer awareness and how to make it reach to common people.
She got good applause from everyone. She makes India proud.
Next is my turn.
Dhiya's POV
"Next is Mr.Akshadh, M.Ch (Surgical Oncology) from India. His social service has no bounds. He did many free surgeries and medical facilities for free cost. A few months back he was awarded for his social service by U.S medical university. We proudly welcome you sir to convey your opinions,"
Akshadh!! I heard this name many times for social services in press, media etc but I didn't have seen him before. This is the first time I am seeing him who lightens the family of many peoples. He was the real hero of many.
"I am Akshadh and happy to be one among you. Proper awareness about Cancer helps people to fight back against it so every country is responsible for taking the next steps. Better access to effective prevention and curative treatments helps to reduce cancer death in the coming years. Good lifestyle with proper exercise and diet helps our body directly. The most common factors were most people are addicted to the foods that cause cancer, avoid consuming tobacco, fast foods, junk foods, preserved foods etc,"
After completing, he glanced at me and occupied the seat opposite to me. We smiled at each other. He got good appreciations and reviews from the judging panel.
The presentation was over and it was the time to know the results. The judging panel undergoes serious discussion for about 15minutes and finally, came up with their ideas.
"Hello Everyone, we welcome and appreciate all the specialists from different countries who share their opinions and here is the certificate for you all. We have selected 6 members from 16 specialists to undergo training for future projects in the U.S for about two weeks and any objections can be reported immediately,"
Then, they listed out the six members in the sheet and pasted in the Medical conference Notice board. It is a really big opportunity to get selected and trained.
As I expected my name with the country was there on the list and I was happy to be get trained. My eyes were searching for Akshadh name apart from Indian, I was impressed by his humanity nature who helps many needy people.
I was occupied with unknown happiness by seeing his name on the list. I stepped back to reach my seat. I took my seat and searching for him but he found nowhere. Where did he go? Didn't he have the interest to continue the training? Or by being a busy man did he rejects the training opportunity? This training is very much useful for every doctor to help cancer patients. He should attend this programme so that it will help to lighten up many lives.
